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.

Our top preventive dentistry services include:

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Preventive dentistry at Downtown Dental Design focuses on maintaining healthy teeth and gums while identifying potential problems before they become more serious. Regular exams, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and personalized home-care guidance are all important parts of quality preventive dental care.
Many patients benefit from preventive dental cleanings and exams every six months. However, the ideal schedule can vary based on your oral health, history of gum disease, risk of cavities, and other individual factors. Based on your needs, Dr. Eslami at Downtown Dental Design will recommend an appropriate schedule for your smile.
A preventive visit to our practice in downtown Austin typically includes an examination of your teeth and gums, periodontal evaluation, professional cleaning, and screening for signs of cavities or other oral health concerns. Digital imaging may also be used to identify dental health concerns that may not be visible during a visual examination.
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing may not completely eliminate. Routine cleanings also give your dental team an opportunity to monitor your gums and teeth and identify potential concerns early.
Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and protect against decay. Professional fluoride or varnish treatments may be particularly beneficial for patients who are at increased risk of cavities or experience tooth sensitivity. At your preventive visit, Dr. Eslami and her team will help determine if fluoride treatment is appropriate for your smile.
Tooth sensitivity can have several causes, including enamel wear, exposed tooth roots, cavities, or gum recession. Downtown Dental Design offers desensitizing treatments and can evaluate the underlying cause of your sensitivity before recommending an appropriate solution.
A custom athletic mouthguard can provide important protection against chipped, fractured, or knocked-out teeth during sports and physical activity. Custom guards are designed to fit your mouth comfortably and securely, which can make them more effective and more comfortable than many over-the-counter options.
A custom night guard can protect your teeth from the effects of nighttime clenching and grinding, also known as bruxism. Depending on your needs, a night guard may help reduce enamel wear and pressure on your teeth and jaw.
Regular preventive care with Downtown Dental Design can help identify cavities, gum disease, tooth wear, and other concerns earlier, when treatment may be simpler. Maintaining good oral hygiene at home and keeping up with recommended dental visits are important parts of protecting your long-term oral health.
