Our goal is to help you maintain optimal oral health, prevent common dental problems before they start, and keep your smile healthy and bright for years to come.

Investing in preventive dental care now can save you time, discomfort, and expense down the road. Here are some of the key preventive services we offer at our comprehensive dental practice in Round Rock, TX:
Dental Exams
Attending your regularly scheduled dental exams twice per year is crucial to catching potential oral health concerns as early as possible. During your comprehensive exam, our skilled dentists will thoroughly assess your teeth, gums, and overall oral health, looking for signs of decay, gum disease, and other concerns.
Dental Cleanings (Prophylaxis)
Even with excellent at-home care, plaque and tartar can build up. At Acre Wood Dental in Round Rock, our gentle, yet thorough professional dental cleanings remove these stubborn deposits, preventing cavities, gum inflammation, and bad breath, leaving your teeth feeling fresh and clean.
Fluoride/Varnish Treatment
Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars. We offer fluoride treatments, including varnish applications, to help prevent cavities, especially for those at higher risk.
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) Treatment
For certain cases of active decay, particularly in children or our patients with special needs, our Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) treatments offer a minimally invasive way to stop the progression of cavities and provide relief.
Teeth Desensitizing Treatments
If you experience tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods, we offer various desensitizing treatments that can provide significant relief and make eating and drinking more comfortable.
Mouth Guards for Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)
Do you grind or clench your teeth, especially at night? Bruxism can lead to worn-down teeth, jaw pain, and headaches. We can custom-fit you with a comfortable bruxism night guard to protect your teeth from the effects of night grinding and alleviate the symptoms, including headaches, jaw pain, and tooth damage.
Treatment for Sleep Apnea
The symptoms of sleep apnea can vary, but often manifest in the mouth and can be treated with custom-fitted oral appliances. At Acre Wood in Round Rock, we can work with your medical doctor to provide custom-fitted oral appliances that help keep your airway open during sleep, improving your quality of life.
Dental Sealants
Applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, dental sealants create a protective barrier that shields grooves and pits from food particles and bacteria, significantly reducing the risk of cavities, especially in children and adolescents.
Kids' Dentist Appointments
We love seeing our youngest patients! Our team is experienced in providing gentle and engaging dental care for children, helping them develop positive dental habits from an early age. We make sure their visits are fun and educational, setting them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
