    Proactive Dental Treatments We Offer

    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

    Teeth Cleaning

    Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that brushing alone can’t reach. Our hygienists use advanced ultrasonic tools and polishing techniques to leave your mouth feeling fresh and healthy. Routine cleanings every six months are the foundation of preventive dentistry.

    Fluoride Treatments

    Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities, particularly in children and those prone to decay. Our safe, quick fluoride treatments re-mineralize enamel and add lasting protection between visits.

    Oral Cancer Screening

    Early detection saves lives. During every comprehensive exam, our dentists perform a thorough oral cancer screening using advanced visualization tools. We check your tongue, cheeks, gums, and throat for early signs of abnormalities, giving you peace of mind and early intervention if needed.

    Gas Sedation

    For patients who experience mild dental anxiety, nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas) offers safe, light relaxation throughout your visit. It’s administered via a small nose mask, takes effect quickly, and wears off within minutes after your treatment so that you can drive yourself home.

    Oral Sedation

    If you’re concerned about pain, oral sedation is an excellent option. A prescribed pill taken before your appointment helps you stay calm and comfortable while remaining conscious and responsive. It’s ideal for longer visits or moderate dental anxiety.

    IV Sedation

    For patients who require extensive dental work or have severe anxiety, IV sedation provides a controlled, deeper relaxation. Monitored closely by our experienced team, IV sedation allows us to complete treatments efficiently and comfortably while you remain safely at ease.

    Early Detection for Optimal Oral Health

    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.
