Our general dentistry services

Dental exams and cleanings. A professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach, while a comprehensive exam gives our team a detailed look at the health of your teeth, gums, and surrounding structures. We use digital X-rays to get a complete picture and identify any concerns that may not be visible to the naked eye. Regular exams and cleanings are the cornerstone of a healthy smile and the best way to catch problems before they become bigger issues. We recommend most patients come in every six months, though our team will advise you on the schedule that makes the most sense for your individual needs.

Digital X-rays. Digital X-rays are a standard part of every new patient visit and routine exam at Austin Cosmetic Dentistry. Compared to traditional film X-rays, digital imaging produces clearer, more detailed images with significantly less radiation exposure. They allow our team to detect decay between teeth, assess bone levels, evaluate the roots of teeth, and identify issues that aren’t visible during a clinical exam. The images are available instantly and can be reviewed with you chairside so you always understand what we’re seeing.

Tooth-colored fillings. When a cavity develops, the goal is to remove the decay and restore the tooth as quickly and conservatively as possible. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry uses tooth-colored composite resin fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural tooth structure, so there’s no metal and no noticeable difference in your smile. The procedure is straightforward and typically completed in a single appointment. If you have older metal amalgam fillings you’d like to replace, we can discuss that as well during your visit.

Same-day crowns. When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but doesn’t need to be extracted, a crown is often the best way to restore its strength and appearance. At Austin Cosmetic Dentistry, we use CEREC technology to design, mill, and place your custom crown in a single appointment, so there’s no waiting on a lab, no temporary crown to manage, and no second visit to block off on your calendar. Our CEREC crowns are milled from high-quality ceramic and zirconia materials that are matched to the shade of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. For downtown Austin patients who can’t afford to spend multiple days in a dental chair, same-day crown technology is one of the most practical advantages our practice offers. Whether you’re dealing with a cracked tooth, a failing old crown, or significant decay, we can often have you fully restored before you head home.

Night guards. If you grind or clench your teeth at night, a custom night guard can protect your teeth from the wear and damage that builds up over time. Bruxism, as teeth grinding is clinically known, can lead to cracked teeth, worn enamel, jaw soreness, and headaches if left unaddressed. Our team will evaluate your bite and the condition of your teeth to determine whether a night guard is appropriate for you. Custom-fitted guards are far more comfortable and effective than over-the-counter options and are made specifically for your bite.

Soft-tissue laser therapy. Austin Cosmetic Dentistry uses soft-tissue laser technology for a range of procedures involving the gums and surrounding tissue. Laser therapy is precise, minimally invasive, and typically results in less discomfort and faster healing than traditional techniques. It plays a role in everything from treating gum disease to performing aesthetic procedures like gum contouring and frenectomies. If your treatment plan includes a soft-tissue procedure, our team will walk you through how the laser is used and what to expect during and after the appointment.
