Diagnostic

• X-rays
• Oral Cancer Screening
  That’s why our San Antonio Family Dentist, Dr. Kevin Sandefer, eases the minds of San Antonians by offering oral cancer screenings to make sure that the state of your oral health is in good shape.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
• Fluoride Treatment

Restorative

• Fillings
  If you’ve ever had a tooth filling, you’re probably familiar with the traditional filling material made with an amalgam of silver or similar substances. These fillings are durable and relatively inexpensive, but they may stand out as they don’t match the color of your other teeth. Furthermore, as these amalgam fillings age, they tend to swell and exert potentially harmful pressures on the walls of the tooth. This often leads to a fracture of tooth structure.
• Resin Composite
  There are two types of veneer procedures. The first option uses veneers made of thin pieces of porcelain bonded to the tooth by resin cement. The second option uses layers of composite resin bonded to the tooth by bonding resins.
• Veneers
  Our San Antonio family dentist, Dr. Kevin Sandefer, has over 15 years of dentistry experience, giving him the knowledge he needs to excel in the art of veneer placement.
• Crowns
  Not all dental issues can be resolved with a typical crown restoration. In some cases, the only solution for extensive dental damage is extraction–or the complete removal of a tooth. Extraction is not always the ideal choice as it can alter the overall aesthetic and function of your teeth, as the procedure can change bone structure, reduce chewing function, and cause pain or discomfort.
• Bridges
  The healthy teeth surrounding an extraction site can suffer damage and collapse if no dental bridge or other restoration technique is implemented, resulting in what is known as a super eruption. This usually occurs when teeth around the gap attempt to merge into the space made available, thus shifting the whole alignment of the teeth.
• Dental Bonding
  Rest assured that at Alon Dental Care, patients who are cautious of dental procedures because they are painful, costly, or invasive need not worry. Bringing back that aesthetically pleasing allure of a properly aligned smile is achievable through this painless and economical technique called cosmetic bonding.
• Restorative Dentistry
  Restorative dental services help remedy any erosion, breaks, deterioration, and other types of tooth damage which can cause pain or discomfort.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  When a person’s root canal becomes infected, it may be necessary to perform endodontic treatment to avoid further damage or even tooth loss. An infection of a tooth nerve can be painful and can only be remedied by a root canal or extraction. At Alon Dental Care, Dr. Sandefer will carefully evaluate the situation and make recommendations as to what treatment would be most beneficial.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  To determine how severely impaired your bite and function are, Dr. Sandefer must inspect your overall oral health to determine what kind of dentures you need. On the other hand, individuals who have lost all of their teeth to decay, trauma, or gum (periodontal) disease may require full dentures. In many ways, dentures are a full mouth reconstruction, as they re-establish the vertical dimension or the normal position of the jaw.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Our San Antonio family dentist at Alon Dental Care, Dr. Kevin Sandefer, knows how someone may feel about a missing tooth, but luckily, the absence of a tooth can be remedied with a dental implant procedure.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Gum Surgery
  If the nerve, also known as the pulp of the tooth, is affected, root canal therapy may be required or the fracture may go below the tissue and require gum surgery called crown lengthening.
• Tooth Extractions
  But there’s good news. Several options to restore your missing tooth exist, and a dental bridge is one such procedure that does an excellent job of restoring the look and function of your smile after a tooth extraction.
