Preventive Dental Care in Hondo, Texas

WHAT DOES PREVENTIVE DENTAL CARE INCLUDE?

Cleanings, Exams, and Gum Care for Patients of All Ages

Preventive dental care includes professional teeth cleanings, regular dental exams, X rays, sealants, gum disease treatment, and personalized advice for caring for your teeth at home. At Fiesta Dental, every preventive service is designed to protect your natural teeth and help your whole family stay healthy between visits.

Our preventive dental services in Hondo include:

• Teeth Cleaning: A professional cleaning removes plaque and hardened tartar that brushing and flossing at home cannot reach. Regular cleanings help stop gingivitis, freshen your breath, and keep your smile bright.
• Dental Exams and Checkups: During your exam, Dr. Koli checks your teeth, gums, bite, and existing dental work, and takes digital X rays when needed to find cavities and hidden problems early, when treatment is simpler.
• Children’s Dentistry: We help children build healthy habits from their first visit, recommended around the first birthday, through the teenage years. Children’s care includes gentle cleanings, checkups, fluoride, and cavity prevention, and we accept Texas Medicaid and CHIP for eligible kids.
• Dental Sealants: Sealants are thin protective coatings painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They seal out food, plaque, and acids that cause decay, and the process is quick and painless.
• Deep Teeth Cleaning: If your gums bleed, feel tender, or have pulled away from your teeth, a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) removes bacteria and tartar below the gumline to treat gum disease.
• Periodontal Maintenance: After treatment for gum disease, more frequent maintenance cleanings help keep infection under control and protect the bone that supports your teeth.
• Arestin: Arestin is an antibiotic placed directly into deep gum pockets after scaling and root planing. It works where brushing and flossing cannot reach to reduce bacteria and inflammation.
• Oral Hygiene: Healthy habits at home matter as much as your visits. Our team shows you how to brush and floss effectively and recommends products that suit your teeth and gums.
• Tooth Extractions: We always work to save your natural teeth. When a tooth is too damaged or infected to repair, we explain your options and remove it as gently as possible. If you are in pain, walk in during regular office hours, Monday through Friday, and we will do everything possible to see you the same business day, with no appointment needed.
