Preventive Care for Healthy Teeth Long Term
BEING PROACTIVE PAYS OFF
Preventive dental care is essential to maintaining your oral health. This means having regular dental cleanings and checkups in addition to practicing good oral hygiene at home. During professional dental cleanings, we remove plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. We also screen for oral cancer using both visual and palpation techniques to detect any abnormalities. By prioritizing preventive care, you can enjoy a healthy and beautiful smile for years to come. And we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Early Diagnosis and Treatment
AVOID MAJOR DENTAL PROBLEMS ALTOGETHER
One of the main benefits of preventive dentistry is that it enables early diagnosis of any teeth or gum problems. Without intervention, easy-to-address dental problems like cavities and gingivitis can develop into major issues, such as abscesses and gum disease, that are more difficult (and costly) to fix. Early diagnosis, on the other hand, allows for swift treatment and stops disease progression.
Two excellent treatments that help prevent decay and other oral health problems are fluoride varnish and dental sealants. Fluoride varnish provides an extra layer of protection for your teeth, strengthening the enamel and preventing tooth decay. Dental sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, creating a barrier against cavities.
For cases of existing decay, we place fillings to rebuild compromised enamel. Our team uses tooth-colored fillings so that they look natural and blend in beautifully with your smile.

Dental Crowns
RESTORING YOUR SMILE
We use porcelain dental crowns to strengthen and support damaged teeth. Crowns are versatile restorations that are useful to address a variety of dental issues. Whether you have an irregularly shaped tooth or severe damage, dental crowns restore the function and beauty of your smile. The dental crown process is straightforward at Texas Dentistry and Braces. We take both digital and traditional impressions and then custom-make your crown for a precise, comfortable fit. A dental crown can help you to regain your confidence and enhance your smile.
Gentle Tooth Extractions
FOR DAMAGED AND DECAYED TEETH
It is necessary to remove a tooth that is beyond repair. Failure to remove an extensively damaged tooth can lead to pain and infection, so it’s best not to ignore it if you are experiencing symptoms. A tooth extraction at Texas Dentistry and Braces is nothing to be concerned about. It is a simple, routine treatment. Our experienced dentists perform extractions gently, and your comfort is their top priority.
Periodontal Therapy
TREATING GUM DISEASE
Periodontal therapy is necessary to restore and maintain gum health if you are diagnosed with gum disease, also known as periodontitis. Our experienced team will assess your gum health, determine the most suitable periodontal treatment for you, and customize a treatment plan. This may begin with scaling and root planing, which involves removing tartar and bacteria from above and below the gumline. It is important to treat any form of gum disease as healthy gums are the foundation for healthy teeth. Seeking treatment early on helps prevent complications such as loose teeth later in life.
Nightguards and Mouth Guards
TAILOR-MADE PROTECTION FOR YOUR TEETH
Nightguards and mouth guards are both designed to protect your teeth from hazards. One such hazard is teeth grinding, also called bruxism. Grinding or clenching while you sleep can lead to broken teeth and severe enamel wear. It can also cause headaches and jaw discomfort. Thankfully, you can prevent these issues by wearing a custom-made nightguard to protect your teeth while you sleep. You can also wear a mouth guard to shield your teeth and absorb impact from injuries due to contact sports, such as hockey. We fabricate all nightguards and mouth guards in-office using our SprintRay 3D printer. This is the latest in advanced technology and enables us to create comfortable custom appliances with the best possible fit for our patients.
Sedation Dentistry
DENTAL TREATMENT IN A RELAXING ENVIRONMENT
We completely understand that some patients suffer from dental-related anxiety. This can prevent them from moving forward with needed dental treatment. That’s why we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation to help you feel relaxed and remain comfortable throughout your treatment. These are both safe, frequently used forms of sedation. There’s no need for dental visits to feel stressful or uncomfortable. Ask our friendly team about sedation dentistry before your next appointment.
