Select from These Services for General Dentistry Near You

• Dental Cleanings: When we say teeth cleaning, we’re talking about professional dental cleaning, not just brushing your teeth at home. Without professional cleaning, tartar and plaque could build up, discolor your teeth, affect your gums and bone, and lead to decay or tooth loss. When you think about the consequences of not taking care of your teeth, visiting the dentist twice a year (as recommended) doesn’t sound so bad after all.
• Dental Sealants: Brushing and flossing are effective ways of keeping your teeth healthy, but they may not completely eliminate the risk of cavities. With dental sealants, you can add an extra layer of protection to you and your child’s oral health.
• Dental Fillings: One of the most common oral health problems around the world is the dental cavity. If you are experiencing pain in one of your teeth and think you might need a dental filling in Universal City, TX, visit us at Universal Dental. We provide comprehensive treatment designed to protect your smile in the long run.
• Custom Night Guards: Our dentist near you can detect changes in your teeth and mouth that would identify the presence of bruxism and also provide treatment options such as an easy-to-wear night guard. If left untreated, your teeth grinding will continue to damage your teeth and jaw, develop into continued headaches and earaches, and could even lead to temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ).
• Oral Cancer Screening: Our dentist in Universal City, TX, use the latest state-of-the-art technology, including VELscope® lamps, to detect signs of oral cancer. The VELscope® lamp helps identify cancerous and precancerous cells and provides a reliable diagnosis. Our dentist will use different tools and feel your oral cavity for lumps, bumps, or unusual sores.
• Root Canals: Patients with root canal infections often complain of dental pain. This isn’t a very specific symptom, as many dental conditions can lead to dental pain; however, we recommend that you visit our dentist when you first start experiencing dental discomfort. It might be something serious or minor. Either way, we can treat it quickly before it gets worse.
• Teeth Extraction: Our first goal is to help you maintain your natural teeth for a lifetime. Still, there may be times when dental extraction is necessary, such as when a tooth is severely infected. Leaving an infected tooth in the mouth is harmful to other teeth and the rest of the body.
