    Our Proactive Dental Care

    At Longhorn Dental, protecting your smile is our priority. We combine gentle, patient-focused care with advanced diagnostics and modern treatment techniques to help you stay ahead of potential oral health issues.

    Professional Teeth Cleanings

    Routine professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and stubborn stains that daily brushing can’t eliminate. Our hygienists use state-of-the-art tools, including ultrasonic scalers and polishing systems, to leave your teeth and gums feeling refreshed. We recommend cleanings every six months to establish a solid foundation for long-term oral health and wellness.

    Fluoride Protection

    Fluoride helps rebuild and strengthen enamel, reducing your risk of tooth decay. Our fluoride applications are quick, comfortable, and ideal for both children and patients who may be more prone to cavities.

    Oral Cancer Screening

    Early detection is critical for saving lives. During your exam, our dentists perform thorough oral cancer screenings using enhanced visualization technology. We evaluate the tongue, lips, cheeks, gum tissue, and throat for early warning signs—giving you peace of mind and the advantage of early intervention when needed.

    Gas Sedation (Nitrous Oxide)

    Mild anxiety shouldn’t stop you from caring for your smile. Nitrous oxide allows you to feel relaxed throughout your appointment. It also wears off quickly, so you can drive home afterward.

    Oral Sedation

    For patients worried about discomfort, oral sedation offers a reassuring solution. By taking a prescribed medication before your appointment, you can feel calm and at ease while remaining awake and able to respond. It’s an excellent choice for longer procedures or moderate dental anxiety.

    IV Sedation

    If you have significant dental anxiety or require extensive treatment, IV sedation provides a controlled and much deeper form of relaxation. Our trained team will monitor your safety and comfort level throughout the visit as we efficiently complete your procedure.

    Early Detection Methods for Lifelong Oral Health

    Routine cleanings are a great start, but preventive care is much more than that. At Longhorn Dental, we utilize digital X-rays, high-definition imaging, and detailed diagnostic evaluations to identify concerns before they develop into serious issues. Identifying early signs of decay, gum disease, and other changes not only protects your long-term oral health but also helps you avoid costly treatment down the road.
