Family Dentistry

Your family’s smiles are precious, and you want to protect them from disease and injury in any way you can. The team at Dental Solutions of East Texas believes that each and every one of our patients deserves to enjoy the benefits of exceptional dental care. In order to help Jacksonville families achieve and maintain optimal oral health and radiant, happy smiles, we offer a complete selection of dental care services in one convenient location. From the moment you enter our practice, you’ll see why local families entrust their oral health and the appearance of their smiles to Dr. Lamond.

Dental Checkups & Cleanings

During your checkup and cleaning, Dr. Lamond will carefully inspect each and every tooth as well as your gums, making sure that you are comfortable throughout every step of the process. These biannual exams and cleanings are the perfect time to ask us questions about your oral health and to learn effective at-home oral hygiene techniques. With an emphasis on patient education, Dr. Lamond helps keep Jacksonville smiles looking and feeling their absolute best.

Silver-Diamine Fluoride

Silver-Diamine Fluoride (also referred to as SDF) is a revitalizing topical solution that’s approved by the FDA for preventing tooth decay, stopping the spread of harmful bacteria, and even repairing spots of weakened enamel. While preventive treatment with SDF doesn’t entirely eliminate the need for restorative care like fillings and crowns, it is a simple and non-invasive method for treating cavities quickly, and Dr. Lamond is often likely to recommend it for young patients who may not be capable of receiving more extensive procedures just yet.

Oral Cancer Screening

Tens of thousands of new cases of oral cancer are diagnosed each year, and many of them are sadly already in advanced stages. Early intervention is absolutely vital when it comes to beating this dangerous health problem, and your dentist can lend a helping hand. Dr. Lamond incorporates oral cancer screenings into all new patient exams and annual checkups as well, using our state-of-the-art CBCT scanner to review the oral tissues as thoroughly as possible for symptoms like discoloration, strange crusts/lumps, and slow-healing sores. If he discovers anything worrisome, he can help you take the next steps towards a proper biopsy.

Nightguards for Bruxism

If you regularly wake up in the mornings with a sore jaw or a lingering headache, bruxism could be to blame. This “bad habit” (more commonly known as teeth grinding) negatively impacts patients of all ages, many of whom don’t even realize it because they only experience the dangerous effects while asleep. Thankfully, Dr. Lamond should spot any concerning damage during routine checkups. If needed, he will recommend a custom-fit nightguard that can be worn comfortably as you rest, providing a strong barrier between the rows of teeth.

Sports Mouthguards

For passionate athletes, it’s important to protect your smile just as fervently as you do your head and knees while out on the court or field. Instead of struggling with an uncomfortable, “one size fits all” mouthguard from the store, why not invest in a custom-made model from our Jacksonville, TX practice? This high-quality oral appliance provides superior stability while remaining very comfortable and flexible – wearers will still be able to breathe and speak without issue, which means their focus can stay on the game.

At-Home Hygiene Products

While routine dental checkups and cleanings are a very important part of maintaining lifelong oral health, following a dedicated hygiene routine at home is just as critical. If you are unsure of what toothpastes, mouthwashes, and other products are the right fit for you and your family, don’t hesitate to ask the Dental Solutions of East Texas team! We’re always happy to offer high-quality recommendations. Dr. Lamond can also prescribe prescription-strength brands for patients who have unique circumstances, such as ClinPro toothpaste for those who struggle with hypersensitivity to tooth decay.

Dental Sealants

Dr. Lamond often recommends dental sealants for younger patients who are still learning how to brush and floss their growing teeth properly. This simple, but effective preventive service seals into place over the chewing surfaces of back teeth, protecting them from the daily threat of clinging food debris and burrowing bacteria. The application process only takes a few minutes and is entirely painless!

Children’s Dentistry

To make sure your child enjoys a great start in life and a future full of beautiful, healthy smiles, we recommend that he or she visit us beginning at around the age of three. With our gentle, caring approach and extensive experience working with patients of all ages, we’ll make sure that your son or daughter feels comfortable, safe, and secure from the moment they climb into the dental chair. After all, a bright future and lifelong oral health both begin with pleasant experiences at routine dental visits.
