Your First Visit at Smile of Bulverde

What to Expect

Before we start any treatment, we want our patients to feel comfortable and safe. Once we get to know each other and we’ve reviewed any important medical history, we’ll take diagnostic x-rays and photographs as a part of a comprehensive oral exam. Then we’ll perform a cleaning and review any findings. Your comfort is important to us, so if you feel anxious at any time during your appointment, let us know.

Helping Us Deliver Better Dentistry

Technology

Digital technology helps us make your visit faster and safer while allowing us to give you a comprehensive level of care that wasn't available just 20 years ago.

Paperless patient forms are a quick and convenient way to get to know you and your medical history before you even walk through our door. Paperless forms save paper clutter and reduce our office’s overall carbon footprint. They also streamline your visit so you can relax while you wait instead of worrying about one more form to fill out.

Digital x-rays utilize minimal amounts of radiation for maximum safety. With a range of digital sensors, from the smallest to the largest sizes, we can accommodate patients of all ages while keeping them as comfortable as possible.

Intraoral scanners give us an in-depth understanding of your oral health. By blowing up a picture of your tooth and putting it on a computer monitor, we’re able to see every crack and crevice with crystal-clear detail. This allows us to detect issues when they’re still invisible to the naked eye, so we can fix a problem before it turns into a larger and more costly one.

Digital scanners make goopy impressions a thing of the past. They take highly accurate digital scans of your teeth and jaw, giving us the ability to see your teeth instantly in 3D on a computer screen. Digital impressions can be used for orthodontics, crowns, and so much more.

Sedation dentistry is completely safe for patients of all ages, and helps us work quickly and more effectively while you're fully relaxed. This makes for a faster appointment and a positive dental experience for you or your child.
