The Dental Services We Provide at South Texas Smiles

Professional Teeth Cleaning

We recommend that you visit us at South Texas Smiles at least twice a year for a regular check-up and professional teeth cleaning. A professional cleaning will remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing at home just can't handle. Professionally eliminating this build-up of plaque and tartar helps to prevent bad breath, tooth decay, and periodontal disease. The best dental care we can provide is preventative care. Regular check-ups and professional teeth cleaning prevent small problems from becoming more complex and difficult to treat. Call South Texas Smiles in San Antonio, Texas today at 210-614-3898 to begin the dental care regimen that saves you time, money, and stress.

Teeth Whitening

Over time, your teeth's natural whiteness can fade or become discolored as the result of diet, personal habits, or simply getting older. However, the teeth whitening procedures we offer here at South Texas Smiles can restore the brilliance of your smile. Depending on your needs and preferences, the dental team at South Texas Smiles will help you choose whether to receive this treatment in our office or apply it yourself in the comfort and convenience of your own home.

Corrective Dental Services

You may be unhappy about the spacing or misalignment of your teeth, but you would like to know more about the options available. We encourage you to call us at 210-614-3898 and talk to our friendly, highly trained staff about our corrective dental procedures -- from reliably effective and affordable metal braces to the latest innovative orthodontic methods like Invisalign® clear aligners. Invisalign treatment is a wonderful option for working adults because it produces similar results to traditional metal braces, but utilizes a series of custom-made, clear aligners that are virtually invisible. You are able to maintain your professional appearance and enjoy the dramatic improvement of properly aligned teeth without feeling self-conscious.

Restorative Dentistry

Regardless of how meticulous we are about our oral health care, unforeseen situations can result in damaged enamel, cavities, gum disease or even bone loss. Whether the cause is physical trauma or untreated decay, South Texas Smiles in San Antonio, Texas provides comprehensive dental service for all ages and we will work with you to find the dental treatment option that is perfectly suited to your individual oral health needs.

We want you to be well informed about your dental treatment options so that, in the event that you need a restorative dental procedure for damaged or lost teeth, you will be happily satisfied with your choice of crowns, a bridge, dental implants, or dentures. South Texas Smiles is dedicated to providing the people of San Antonio, Texas with dental services that are effective, affordable, and convenient.

Biological Dentistry

Biological dentistry emphasizes the link between your oral health and your body’s overall well-being. Did you know that 91% of people with heart disease also have periodontitis? We focus on thorough, consistent preventive care to help your mouth stay healthy, which ultimately helps keep your body healthy! Want to learn more about biological dentistry and how it can help you? Contact South Texas Smiles at 210-614-3898 today!

Innovative Dental Care Technology

We utilize the most advanced technology and state-of-the-art equipment here at South Texas Smiles in order to provide our patients with the highest quality of dental care. Our dental team uses the iTero Element scanner to produce high-resolution 3D images of your upper and lower dental structures. The iTero's virtual model of your teeth is created without the time and discomfort required by the use of traditional x-ray photos and the dreaded dental impression goo necessary for making a physical model. In only seconds, your dental team will be able to show you a model of your teeth's current condition as well as a side-by-side simulation of your smile with its ideal spacing and alignment. The unprecedented resolution capable with the iTero Element allows the hygienists and dentist here at South Texas Smiles to provide you with a higher quality of oral health care by identifying dental problems such as early decay or microscopic fractures in a fraction of the time required by old-fashioned methods. This means that your dentist can give you a diagnosis with greater accuracy while also decreasing the amount of time for your examination.

Abscesses, tooth decay, infected gums, cavities, and other oral health problems can be incredibly uncomfortable, and we are here to treat dental issues that just can't wait for your regular check-up. Whether you're suffering from a painful cavity, cracked tooth, broken dentures, or a loose filling, please don't hesitate to give us a call!
