General Dentistry

Dr. Juan Carlos Barbosa in Houston, Texas, provides superior general dentistry for your entire family. Dr. Barbosa and his staff offer extensive preventative and restorative services for children and adults.

General dentistry focuses on oral health and the prevention of oral disease. Routine professional cleanings, patient education for optimal oral hygiene, and examinations are the building stones of prevention.

• Professional cleaning and a good home oral hygiene regimen keep teeth free of plaque and bacteria. Plaque is the hard buildup that collects on and between teeth. Plaque is also what encourages bacteria to grow. This combination of plaque and bacteria is the start of many dental problems, making hygiene extremely important in dental health.

• Examinations are crucial to determining any potential problems with the teeth, gums, and bone structures in the mouth. By finding problems early, treatment can be administered before the problems become larger and harder to control. Almost 65% of all dental procedures are done for prevention or diagnosing oral diseases.

Dr. Barbosa also offers several different cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of a smile. From teeth whitening to cosmetic bonding to cover gaps and deformities, patients can smile with confidence again.
