Family Dentistry in Irving, TX

This branch of dentistry focuses on providing a wide range of dental treatments and procedures and taking care of the oral health of patients of different age groups. When you walk into our clinic at Smiles of Irving, you'll know you've found the ideal place for your family's care because we make patients of all ages feel welcome. 

Patients should visit the dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. However, some patients may need more frequent cleanings than others.

General Dentistry

Children, adults, and seniors are all susceptible to dental problems like gum disease and tooth decay, as well as infections or other dental problems. The millions of bacteria that live in the mouth can wreak havoc on the hard and soft tissues of the mouth as well as spread to other parts of the body.

At Smiles of Irving, Dr. Rekhi provides a host of dental treatments and procedures to maintain the oral health of patients of all ages and restore their smiles. Some patients only require regular checkups and cleanings or a few fillings to maintain their smiles and dental health. Others may be susceptible to developing gum disease and require specialized treatments, while others may need dentures or implants to replace missing teeth. 

Our dentist in Irving, TX, offers all of these services and more and customizes treatment plans to suit each patient’s needs. 

Root Canal Therapy

A root canal is a highly effective procedure that can save teeth damaged by injury or decay from needing to be extracted. The tooth's pulp may become infected or damaged due to deep cavities or repeated dental procedures on the tooth. Our dentist in Irving, TX, performs root canals to remove the damaged or infected tissue from the tooth, clean the tooth out, and then seal it against future infection using a special material. 

After the procedure, the tooth may need a permanent dental crown or other restoration to protect and restore it to full function. Patients are also recommended to get routine cleanings and exams every six months to prevent the need for any further procedures.

Ortho Screenings

Orthodontics can treat a wide range of tooth alignment and jaw problems. As your child’s permanent teeth erupt, usually around the age of six, our dentist in Irving, TX, will perform ortho screenings to determine if your child's baby teeth are crowded or if the relationship between their upper and lower teeth is not ideal and orthodontic treatment is required. 

Braces can help some children in their early years. Because permanent teeth are typically larger than baby teeth, braces may be required in some cases to create space for them to emerge. This allows the teeth to settle appropriately, avoiding the need for more extensive treatment later on.

Sealants

Dental sealants are a dental treatment that helps to prevent cavities. They are made from plastic and bonded to the teeth to create a protective covering over the pits and fissures of the chewing surfaces. These areas are most susceptible to tooth decay because they are difficult to reach with a toothbrush and floss.

The plastic material is durable and can last for several years before needing to be replaced. When placed by a skilled dentist, sealants can significantly reduce the risk of developing cavities in the treated areas of your teeth. 

Our family dentist provides dental care to patients of all ages, starting from toddlers to senior citizens. For the best dental care, visit Smiles of Irving at 3204 N MacArthur Blvd c, Irving, TX 75062, or call (972) 258-6462.
