Cavities and decay are among the most common dental health threats we see. When caught early, small cavities and decay can be effectively treated by removing damaged tooth structure with Waterlase® MD and applying a tooth-colored filling. However, if even a small area of decay is left unaddressed, it could soon progress to a state where we will recommend more aggressive treatment. In these cases, we may need to use dental crowns to provide support to the damaged tooth. If a tooth is so badly damaged that it needs to be removed, the team at Austin Dental Spa can use natural-looking dental implants, dental bridges, or even custom-crafted dentures to maintain the beauty and strength of your smile.
A good dental cleaning is essential to maintaining your oral health. Even the most conscientious patient cannot reach every deposit of plaque that accumulates in the mouth with daily brushing and flossing. We encourage our patients to maintain good oral health by coming in for a thorough exam and cleaning twice a year. During your biannual general dentistry checkup at Austin Dental Spa right here in Central Texas, one of our friendly hygienists will gently yet thoroughly clean your teeth and treat your gums as needed with appropriate therapies.
More ReviewsI have severe dental anxiety and usually have to be sedated for dental cleanings. I decided to try them as my dentist since they do just about everything. I have never had such kind, caring, friendly, genuine hygienists and assistants! After less than a year with them, I was able to have a cleaning lorazepam-free!! It’s a huge deal, and the staff recognized it, too. Yes, they are more expensive than other dentists, but what did you expect from a place with “spa” in the name? They do take CareCredit, which is a plus.

We know that even patients who come in for general dentistry treatment at Austin Dental Spa may feel anxious or nervous. If you feel uneasy or if you have especially sensitive teeth, please be sure to let us know so we may take appropriate measures to make you comfortable. We employ the latest technology to minimize any unpleasant sensations or sounds you may associate with past visits to the dentist. To ensure the comfort of all of our patients, we are pleased to offer the latest in safe, comfortable sedation dentistry. With sedation dentistry, you can drift away and completely relax while you undergo treatment. Our patients are also treated to complimentary hand and foot massages to help them melt away any stress. When you can cozy up with a warm blanket and enjoy your favorite music right in the treatment chair, a general dentistry visit to our practice feels more like a spa vacation!
Our general dentistry team at Austin Dental Spa uses state-of-the-art dental technology and laser dentistry to care for our patients’ oral health. Tools such as DIAGNOdent® and ADDX DNA testing allow us to conduct thorough diagnostic examinations for cavities, bacterial and periodontal infections, and even oral cancer. These breakthroughs in dental science enable us to catch potentially harmful conditions in a minimally invasive fashion, much sooner than was previously possible. This means added comfort, fewer visits, and earlier treatment for our patients. We can also use Waterlase® MD to remove damaged tissues in many instances where other practices must use a drill, saving tooth structure and ensuring a much more pleasant experience for our patients.
