- Dental ExaminationProfessional cleanings should take place every 6 months or as suggested by your hygienist. During your cleaning, we will remove plaque and tartar build-up from your teeth, reducing the growth of bacteria which can cause gum disease. Oral hygiene is necessary for your oral health. Research shows that professional dental care can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes as well as serious dental problems. As a result of a healthy mouth, regular oral exams and cleanings will keep your smile looking clean and stain free. If cleanings are not enough to keep your smile stain free, we offer teeth whitening, porcelain veneers and dental crowns for a whiter smile.
- X-raysUsing dental X-Rays, we can see whether permanent teeth are coming in or if wisdom teeth need to be removed. These are conditions that you may not be able to figure out on your own unless pain occurs.
- Teeth CleaningPreventative and general dentistry are needed for maintaining optimal dental health. At Authentic Smiles in Austin, TX, we ensure all of our patients leave our office with a healthier mouth. A healthy smile starts with basic oral hygiene care. Practicing daily habits such as brushing and flossing are needed for a smile to look great. Make sure to visit us every 6 months for your dental cleaning, exam and x-rays. We will detect any problems before they persist or cause you any pain or damage to your mouth. It is important to maintain your dental health in order to prevent more serious problems like gum disease.

- FillingsTooth colored fillings are used to repair cracked or broken teeth, as well as decayed teeth. They are not only apart of general dentistry, but restorative dentistry as well. Once the decayed portion of a tooth has been removed, we will fill in the remaining area with tooth-colored material. Our composite fillings match each individual tooth color in addition to strengthening the tooth. In addition, we also suggest replacing your old, and harmful amalgam fillings with these stronger restorations. The new materials blend well with your existing teeth to create a natural and healthy looking smile. As a result, your teeth will be completely new again, free of damage, and as strong as before. You will not need to worry about your tooth looking unnatural or not functioning well. Tooth colored fillings will keep your teeth at their prime.
- VeneersPorcelain veneers are ideal for patients who are hoping to achieve the perfect Hollywood smile. In addition, they are also great for patients who suffer from minor cracks, chips, crooked, gapped, and stained teeth. As a result, they can cover up almost any aesthetic dental problem. Authentic Smiles is proud to offer our patients dental veneers in one appointment. As a result of our advanced CEREC® technology, we are able to prepare your teeth, create the veneers with the CEREC, and bond them to your teeth in the same day. Therefore, you can leave our office in one appointment with a new smile.
- CrownsOur dentist office in Austin can provide our patients with dental implants, or the best solution for missing teeth. A dental implant is made of a titanium screw that is surgically implanted into your jaw, followed by a dental crown attached. This, as a result, provides patients with a secure and naturally looking option. The best aspect of the dental implant is the implant’s placement in the jaw. As a result, this promotes bone mass growth in your jaw, which would normally decrease with the absence of a tooth. This will keep your face looking young and your tooth secure. Once the implant is placed, it is topped with a dental crown. The crown is made to match your smile both in color and shape.
- BridgesWith a dental bridge, Dr. Matt will use either the two teeth next to your missing tooth, or dental implants as an anchor for the bridge. First of all, to prepare your mouth for the bridge, he will need to remove part of your teeth to prepare for the bridge. The bridge contains two crowns with one attached in the middle. Finally, the crowns are cemented to your teeth, with the connected tooth in the middle to form a bridge. Once cemented, your bridge will stay firmly in place unless removed by a dentist. In addition, if you are using implants as the anchors, Dr. Matt will attach the bridge to the implants.

- Root Canal TreatmentTypically performed when a tooth has become severely damaged or decayed, root canals are performed to save the infected nerve. The affected tooth pulp will be removed and the area will be cleaned. An important part of restorative and general dental care, the root canal procedure saves the tooth from being pulled as well as prevent the spread of infection. Most patients complain that root canal therapy is painful, when in fact, it is the infection that is causing the pain. After root canal treatment, all of your pain will be relieved. Without root canal therapy, extraction as well as other restorative treatments will be necessary. In the long run, root canals are more effective and less expensive than the alternative.
