What makes Spring Branch Dental Care different than any other dental practice I can visit?

At Spring Branch Dental Care, we do everything we can to keep you as comfortable as possible, whether it’s through our available blankets, or warm, scented towels, a soft pillow for your head, or our noise-reduction Bose earphones with your music of choice. We obtain the highest quality materials, and adhere to the highest sterilization and cleanliness standards for you and your smile. We work hard to keep you stress-free and completely comfortable.

 

I do not like drills. Are there any other options?

Yes! We offer hydro abrasion, a technology that combines air, water, and particles that safely, conservatively and comfortably removes dental hard tissue and decay without the plume of powder normally associated with traditional air abrasion.

 

My gums bleed after I brush. Is this something to be concerned about?

Bleeding gums can be the beginning signs of periodontal disease. Healthy gums do not bleed. We can treat periodontal disease and teach you home care to prevent further problems. Healthy gums lead to a healthy smile. Contact us so we can schedule your appointment today.

 

I really do not like visiting the dentist, is there anything you can do to help me relax?

We give you the full details about your treatment plan, so that you’ll never be surprised or unsettled by any part of the treatment process. If any patient is uncomfortable or nervous, we will do everything that we can to ease the tension and make the experience smooth and relaxed.

 

Crowns, veneers, onlays, inlays, and partials… Where can I learn more about these procedures?

CEREC can mill crowns, onlays, and inlays in 60 to 90 minutes, so you don’t have to wear a temporary crown or return for a permanent fitting. Learn more about CEREC

 

I want my front teeth to look better, but I do not want to wear braces. What would you recommend?

For more advanced dental alignment cases, Dr. Chavez recommends using Invisalign aligners. Invisalign aligners are clear, removable braces that are molded to push your teeth into their correct position over time. Learn more about Invisalign

In other dental alignment cases Dr. Chavez recommends dental veneers, which are custom-shells designed to be applied over the surface of a tooth. Learn more about Veneers
