When you attend a dental examination, your dentist can discover any problems with tooth decay that require treatment before causing any painful symptoms. This means that when caught in time, a more conservative procedure, such as a dental filling, can repair your tooth. While consistent dental attendance can help you discover these problems in their early stage, decay can sometimes lead to a more advanced state. Your San Antonio, TX dentist can provide more involved care when decay causes more serious damage. If an infection of oral bacteria reaches the inner chamber of your tooth, we could provide a root canal therapy. By removing your infection, we treat your body's painful inflammatory response and restore the tooth to maintain its position in your mouth. Let us know right away if you suspect an infection, as waiting for treatment risks allowing your infection to spread.

Services such as porcelain veneers, teeth-whitening treatments, and dental crowns can provide a beautiful enhancement for your teeth. At your San Antonio, TX, dentist's office, we can help you treat issues with your smile that make you feel self-conscious. With a personal touch toward your concerns, we can create a treatment plan together that provides targeted improvement!

Unfortunately, it can also be hard for you to ignore the concern you have over wearing metal braces for an extended period of time. Does your concern over struggling with orthodontic treatment mean leaving that issue with your alignment unresolved? At our San Antonio, TX dental practice, an alternative approach to closing a smile gap (or treating another issue with your alignment) is available. With Invisalign appliances, we can gradually guide teeth into their appropriate positions so that you boast a lovely, symmetrical smile.

Restorative dentistry is concerned with more than just the treatment of an immediate concern. Your care is complete only after your tooth receives protection in the form of a dental filling or dental crown. Our San Antonio, TX dental practice is prepared to help you in these situations where restorations are needed. Dental crowns are often used to take care of decay and physical trauma. The coverage provided by this appliance gives you back the ability to bite and chew with comfort, and it can also preserve the way you look!

woman confused by question Is there a way to take on poor teeth spacing that you can keep hidden from view? Metal braces have helped many people take on the gaps, overlaps, and other alignment issues that robbed them of confidence. However, while these appliances are effective, they can also stand out when you smile and speak. A more cosmetically pleasing alternative is available. At our San Antonio, TX dental office, we can talk to you about your candidacy for treatment with Invisalign. These clear appliances gradually move teeth to their proper positions. With each successive adjustment from your aligners, your smile becomes more symmetrical and attractive. In addition to improving how you look, this kind of corrective care can lead to welcome oral health benefits.

While the removal of an infected area stops damage from spreading further, this step in treatment in and of itself does not fully restore your tooth. Dental fillings and dental crowns are used to respond to the permanent harm cavities do to our enamel when they form. At our San Antonio, TX dental practice, we use fillings that are made with a biocompatible composite resin material. What this means for you is that your filling will blend in with your surrounding enamel while providing the functional support that you need!
