Dental Implants
Dental implants are today’s gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Modern dental implant designs allow you to choose a long-term investment that restores missing teeth in a way that looks and feels natural. Dr. Sanchez is your go-to provider for safe and comfortable implant therapy.
A dental implant is a titanium post much like a tooth root that is implanted into the jawbone beneath the gumline. Once fully healed, Dr. Sanchez can replace a single missing tooth or several missing teeth with an implant supported bridge into that area.
Dental implants have a significant advantage over traditional types of tooth replacement. For example:
- Non-invasive to neighboring teeth
- Capable of restoring as few or as many teeth as required
- Beneficial to your mouth's overall function
- Favorable to your natural facial profile
Cleaning / Exams
We believe that focusing on preventive care, routine exams, cleanings, and early diagnostics allows our San Antonio dental patients to avoid more complex oral health needs later on. Starting with a good healthy foundation is important. Fluoride treatments and digital x-rays can assist us in preventing cavities and intercept early treatment needs that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Sedation dentistry
Do you want to be comfortable through your next dental appointment with safe, comfortable sedation dentistry? By incorporating sedation options, you can have a positive and relaxing experience regardless of your oral health needs.
Sedation dentistry is worth considering if you are anxious or afraid of going to the dentist because of previous experiences. You can feel at ease throughout your visit by combining gentle techniques with sedation. Dr. Lewis provides two options for dental sedation to address your specific concerns and make sure everyone has a safe, comfortable appointment.
Dental sedation alleviates anxiety during dental procedures or allows them to be combined into fewer appointments. It can be used for any procedure, such as fillings, root canals, crowns, implants, wisdom tooth extraction, and more.

Clear Aligners
With clear aligners, our San Antonio patients and their families can enjoy healthier, straighter smiles without the need for traditional braces. Dr. Sanchez can provide comprehensive clear aligner treatment with no referrals required. Everything is available right here in our office.
Before getting any type of braces, you should have your teeth checked to make sure there is no active tooth decay (cavities) or gum disease.
Clear aligners are ideal for minor crowding or crooked teeth, as well as small gaps and overbites. But with newer advanced, innovative technology, clear aligners make correcting more moderate to severe cases easier than ever before.
Instead of using brackets and wires, clear aligners use strategically designed aligners to reposition your teeth.
Each set of translucent trays snaps over your smile, gently pushing teeth into the correct alignment. Because the aligners are replaced every two weeks, the pressure is less than with metal braces (as opposed to being adjusted by an orthodontist once per month.) In turn, they tend to be more comfortable.
You'll take your clear orthodontic trays home with you and replace the aligners as directed. As you progress, your teeth will move straighter and straighter until the treatment is completed.
