At Spicewood Dental, we know how important your oral health is when it comes to your overall health. In order to keep you healthy, and to avoid serious dental issues in the future, we take a comprehensive approach to your dental care. We are an affordable family dentist and will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan.
A healthy smile not only leads to a healthier self-esteem; it’s also been linked to heart health and improved overall health. Dr. Owen and the team at Spicewood Dental strive to keep your mouth, teeth, and gums in excellent shape with preventive dentistry, which allows us to catch problems before they become serious and save you from more expensive and extensive procedures down the road.
Keeping up with your recommended six-month exam and cleaning schedule helps our team diagnose and treat potential problems before they become a bigger issue that requires more invasive treatment. Routine cleanings are the foundation of preventative dentistry, and can ensure you won’t experience painful or costly dental issues in the future.
For your comfort during your cleaning, we offer a saltwater Prophy-Jet as an alternative to the traditional abrasive paste polish. The Prophy-Jet polishes using saltwater and baking soda in a high-pressure spray to remove plaque, stains, and debris from teeth. If you would prefer to use the Prophy-Jet cleaning system, just ask at your next appointment.
Fluoride helps fight tooth decay by making teeth more resistant to acid from plaque and sugars in the mouth. Fluoride treatments in our Austin dental office are available for children and adults.
Dental sealants are used to protect premolars and molars from tooth decay. We typically apply sealants to children's teeth shortly after their molars erupt. This preventative dental treatment protects children’s teeth while they are learning the important dental hygiene habits they’ll carry into adulthood.
If you grind your teeth at night, not only are you subjecting your teeth to weakening, and possibly damaging, forces; you may also be putting your jaw through stress that could cause headaches and migraines. Spicewood Dental offers custom-made nightguards that help stop teeth grinding and relieve the pressure put on your jaw.
Teens who play contact sports put their teeth and jaw at risk, and could end up with cracked, broken, or even missing teeth. Let our team create a custom athletic mouthguard for your child to wear during practices and games to help avoid unnecessary trauma to the mouth, teeth, and jaw.
Oral and throat cancers affect nearly 42,000 Americans each year. Early detection is key to successful treatment and the reduction of related health problems. During your exam, our team will examine your lips, gums, and entire mouth for early signs of cancer. The screening also involves a visual inspection of your jaw and neck.
