Dental Services in San Antonio, TX
We are proud to offer a wide range of dental services to improve the look, health, and function of your smile. Our services cover many areas of dentistry so you don’t have to go anywhere else.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dental treatments enhance your smile’s look. Porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and clear aligners are common options to change the color of one or more teeth. Veneers are thin shells that can cover one or all teeth in your smile line to improve their shape and color. Traditional veneers are 0.5 mm thick, while Lumineers are thinner at 0.3 mm.
Professional teeth whitening can brighten natural teeth. Dr. Abazid suggests this for patients with extrinsic (surface) stains from foods, drinks, or tobacco.
Dr. Abazid also offers SureSmile® clear aligners, which are an alternative to metal braces. These clear aligners gently move teeth into a straighter position over time.
General Dentistry
Our general dental treatments go beyond routine cleanings. Check-ups are essential and help maintain your smile, but regular dental care also prevents future dental problems.
Preventative care is part of our general dental services. We screen for dental issues and address common problems like gum disease and tooth decay to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative dental treatments help fix and improve your smile. This includes dental implants, tooth crowns, and TMJ treatments.
Dental implants have titanium posts, abutments, and dental restorations. They can replace a single missing tooth with a crown or support bridges and dentures for multiple missing teeth. Dental crowns are caps that cover worn or damaged teeth and can also support bridges or implants.
TMD, or temporomandibular joint disorders, can cause facial pain and may lead to teeth clenching or grinding. Dr. Abazid often suggests physical therapy to relax facial muscles and using a night guard to reduce jaw pain and protect your teeth while you sleep.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide root canals and dental fillings?
Yes, we can save a natural tooth from decay with a root canal and a dental filling. In a root canal, we remove the infected part inside the tooth using special tools. After cleaning and sterilizing the inside, we fill it with a material called gutta-percha. If the tooth is weak or worn, we might also add a dental crown.
Dental fillings are used to fill cavities caused by tooth decay. Symptoms of a dental infection often include:
- Toothaches and tooth pain
- Sensitive teeth
- Brown or white stains on teeth
- Visible holes in the tooth enamel
Why are dental sealants good for children?
Dental sealants help protect the back molars from cavities. Kids are more likely to get cavities because bacteria can hide in the hard-to-reach back teeth. Sealants are painted on these molars to cover the chewing surfaces and stop tooth decay.
Are tooth extractions painful?
Many people worry that tooth extractions are painful. But extractions can actually relieve pain from serious infections or impacted teeth. During the procedure, the dentist will numb the area with a local anesthetic. For longer procedures, they might use dental sedation to keep you comfortable.
