Dental FAQs

Do you treat children?

Of course! Caring for whole families is very important to our team at South Arlington Dental Care, and the littlest members are no exception. We always provide your son or daughter with the friendly, gentle approach they need to feel right at home, and children's dentistry services like fluoride treatments and dental sealants protect their smiles as they grow and thrive.

I want a straighter smile, but I don’t want to wear traditional braces. Is there another way?

Yes, there is. With Six Month Smiles, patients enjoy the seamless look of clear brackets and tooth-colored wires as they improve the alignment of their teeth. Better yet, like the name suggests, treatment is usually completed in just six months, which is a dramatic improvement over the multiple years traditional orthodontics often requires. You can learn more at our Six Month Smiles page!

I’m having a dental emergency! Can you help?

Yes! If you or a loved one is experiencing a severe oral injury or pain, don’t wait another minute – contact South Arlington Dental Center right away. We’ll do everything we can to see you on the same day as your initial call, and if your emergency happens to occur when our office is closed, our 24/7 phone service will get you in touch with someone right away for assistance. Take a look at our Emergency Dentistry page to learn more.

Dental care makes me nervous and scared. Can you help me relax?

Of course. With the help of sedation dentistry, even patients with severe dental phobia feel genuinely comfortable as Dr. Shah improves the health and beauty of their smiles. Nitrous oxide sedation, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation are all available at our Arlington location so we can recommend the one that best fits the patient’s level of anxiety. Visit our sedation dentistry page to learn more!

Can you improve the way my smile looks?

Definitely. Our team in Arlington, TX offers several cosmetic services that create the gorgeous, dazzling look you’ve been dreaming of. These include tooth-colored fillings, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, all-ceramic restorations, and more.

Which tooth replacement solution is right for me?

Our team can’t know that for sure until we’ve inspected your unique smile and learned about your budget and preferences. Dental implants are often considered the best choice for reconstruction due to their exceptional health and cosmetic benefits, but they’re not ideal for every patient. Dentures and bridges are also available at South Arlington Dental Care. After your first appointment, Dr. Shah can walk you through all of your options and make her own recommendations for the right treatment.

How can I pay for my treatment at South Arlington Dental Care?

We offer several options so families can choose the one that best fits their needs and budget. Our office accepts various insurance plans, as well as financing through CareCredit. Our VIP Savings Plan can also be a big help. Take a look at our New Patients page to learn more!
