Here is a more detailed description of some of the dental services offered at SBCHC - Katy Clinic:

• Preventive care: This includes cleanings, examinations, fluoride treatments, and sealants. Cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can cause cavities and gum disease. Examinations allow the dentist to check for any signs of problems, such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer. Fluoride treatments help to strengthen teeth and make them more resistant to cavities. Sealants are thin plastic coatings that are applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to protect them from cavities.
• Restorative care: This includes fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures. Fillings are used to repair cavities. Crowns are used to cover teeth that are damaged or weakened. Bridges are used to replace missing teeth. Dentures are used to replace all or most of the teeth in a jaw.
• Endodontics: This includes root canals. Root canals are necessary when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or damaged. The pulp is the soft tissue that contains the tooth’s nerves and blood vessels. During a root canal, the infected or damaged pulp is removed and the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
• Periodontics: This includes treatment for gum disease. Gum disease is an inflammation of the gums that can lead to tooth loss. Treatment for gum disease may include scaling and root planing, which is a deep cleaning of the teeth and gums. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove diseased gum tissue.
• Oral surgery: This includes extractions, implants, and other procedures. Extractions are necessary when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be repaired. Implants are metal screws that are inserted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Other oral surgery procedures may include gum grafting and bone grafting.

SBCHC - Katy Clinic is committed to providing high-quality, affordable dental care to all members of the community.
