The Mouth is the Window to our Body
Studies reveal a strong connection between oral hygiene and overall well-being and health. We are here to educate and help you to maintain a healthy mouth and body. Preventive care is vital to impeding more serious oral and health conditions.
Our downtown Austin dental team takes a proactive approach to preventive dentistry, providing comfortable, judgment-free care in a welcoming environment.
Dental Exams and Cleanings
Attending your scheduled preventive dental cleanings is essential for maintaining the long-term health, appearance, and function of your teeth and gums.
We recommend preventive cleanings every six months. During your visit, we’ll gently clean and polish your teeth, assess your gums, and screen for signs of decay — helping you stay ahead of potential oral health concerns.
Fluoride & Varnish Treatments
Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps protect against decay. We offer quick, painless fluoride and varnish applications to support stronger, healthier smiles — especially beneficial for those prone to sensitivity or cavities.
Teeth Desensitizing Treatments
If you experience discomfort from hot or cold foods, our desensitizing treatments can provide fast, lasting relief by sealing microscopic openings in your enamel and reducing nerve sensitivity.
Athletic Mouthguards
Custom mouthguards help prevent chipped, fractured, or knocked-out teeth during sports and physical activity. Designed for a precise, comfortable fit, they offer superior protection compared to over-the-counter options.
Bruxism Night Guards
Grinding or clenching your teeth at night (bruxism) can cause jaw pain, headaches, and enamel wear. Our custom night guards protect your teeth and jaw, helping you sleep more comfortably and wake up refreshed.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
If you experience snoring, fatigue, or disrupted sleep, oral appliance therapy can help. Our custom-fitted devices gently reposition your jaw to keep your airway open, improving oxygen flow and helping you rest better, without the need for a bulky CPAP machine.
