Get Started
Longhorn Dental believes preventive care should be about protecting your smile and ensuring lifelong oral health. Our team uses gentle techniques, modern technology, and a personalized approach to help you stay ahead of dental issues
At Longhorn Dental, we go beyond routine checkups. Our diagnostic technology, including digital X-rays and intraoral imaging, helps us detect problems long before they cause pain or damage. We believe early detection is the key to lasting health: catching small cavities, gum inflammation, or tissue changes early prevents major dental procedures. Every visit includes a review of your oral health and personalized recommendations to keep your smile looking good.
Experience the difference that compassionate and expert care makes.
Patients of all ages receive quality, compassionate dental care here at Longhorn Dental. Our team is dedicated to helping your family enjoy healthy, confident smiles through personalized service and proven treatments:
How often should I schedule a preventative dental visit?
Most patients benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months. Your dentist may recommend more frequent visits based on your oral health needs.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes. We use low-dose digital X-rays that reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional methods, ensuring your safety and comfort.
What is the difference between a cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar above the gumline. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) treats gum disease by removing buildup below the gums to help your gums heal.
Does insurance cover preventive care?
Most dental insurance plans fully or mostly cover exams, cleanings, and fluoride treatments. Our office accepts most major insurance plans and can help verify your benefits.
Can sedation be used during preventive visits?
Absolutely. If you feel anxious about dental care, we offer gas, oral, and IV sedation options so you can stay relaxed and comfortable during your visit.
Preventive care is the easiest, most effective way to protect your smile for life. Whether it’s been six months or several years since your last visit, our friendly team is here to help you feel comfortable and confident again.
