Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  During the consultation, you will receive a comprehensive examination which usually involves a review of your medical and dental history. X-rays will be administered and impressions of your teeth and gums will be taken so we can create models.
• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  So, as you can see general dentistry covers a lot more than just teeth cleaning and routine exam. In fact, Dr. Vela regularly performs well over two dozen procedures that fall within the scope of general dentistry.
• Fluoride Treatment
  These help you maintain good oral health by correcting or proactively preventing disease before it can progress inside your mouth. Routine exams (including diagnostic imaging such as x-rays), as well as professional teeth cleaning, are the foundation of good preventative care. Dr. Vela may also give you detailed home oral hygiene tips and suggest other preventative treatments such as sealants or fluoride treatment.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  Veneers in Corpus Christi dental clinics are a common thing. However, they should only be an option when your teeth are healthy and only suffer cosmetic issues such as...
• Crowns
  Porcelain crowns are used by many dentists in Corpus Christi to replace the part of the tooth that is visible and protrudes from the gumline. Porcelain is used because of its similarity to natural teeth both in form and their natural look.
• Bridges
• Dental Bonding

• Dental Implants
  Dr. Benjamin Vela is a Corpus Christi native and graduate of King High School. With degrees from St. Mary’s University and UT Health Science Center in San Antonio Dental School, Dr. Vela moved back to Corpus, where he has been practicing in Corpus since 2006. As the owner of Vela Dental Cosmetic & Implant Center his aim is to offer personalized smile care.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Tooth Extractions
• Bone Grafting
  The results of the CT scan may indeed show that there isn’t enough jawbone to begin surgery, and, in that case, we may discuss options like bone grafting to build up the jawbone.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your smile and not so much the function, Dr. Vela can help with that as well. If you have stained teeth and are seeking that healthy bright white smile so many strive for, Dr. Vela can offer a range of solutions. Teeth whitening, cosmetic tooth bonding, and even porcelain veneers are an effective solution for stained teeth. If you have slightly misaligned teeth or crooked ones, we can offer treatments that are less invasive than braces such as Invisalign. Dr. Vela is very accomplished at performing miraculous smile makeovers and loves to see the smile on people’s faces when they love their new smile.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  In the realm of cosmetic dentistry, Corpus Christi residents seek out teeth whitening more often than any other cosmetic esthetic procedure. The good news is, Vela Dental Cosmetic & Implant Center is one of the top dental practices in Corpus Christi for teeth whitening and in most cases, we can drastically improve the shade of your smile.
• Cosmetic Dentistry
  Dr. Vela’s dedication to continuous learning and mastery in various dental disciplines, including dental implants and cosmetic dentistry, empowers him to offer hope and transformative dental experiences.
• General Dentistry
  No, for most people the health care practitioner they visit the most often is their general dentist. The reason this is the case is pretty logical—general dentistry is specifically centered on the prevention of disease. In fact, a little more than half of all dental procedures are for prevention or to diagnose a potential oral disease.
