At Lakeside Dental, we are pleased to develop comprehensive treatment plans to help our patients achieve and maintain healthy smiles that maximize your personal health and appearance. We offer restorative and cosmetic dental procedures, in addition to general dentistry treatments.
General Dentistry in Austin - Routine & Preventative Care
General dentistry involves the diagnosis and treatment of general conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and jaw. General dentists can care for the overall oral health of patients of all ages. At Lakeside Dental we welcome everyone in your family from age 1 to 121!
We believe prevention should be the primary goal, so we aim to identify and treat problems before they become serious, painful, and expensive. Regular six-month check-ups, along with proper home care will result in a healthier mouth and a healthier life.
Prevention
Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. Good oral hygiene continues in the dental office by the efforts of Dr. Morales and the Lakeside Dental hygienist to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.
A preventive program is a group effort between the patient, Dr. Morales, and the Lakeside Dental staff. We work to preserve the natural character of the teeth by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions. Prevention is the key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.

Dental Home Care
At Lakeside Dental, our goal is to help you have a beautiful, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime. Your personal home care plays an important role in achieving that goal. Though bi-annual professional dental cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and debris, excellent dental home care methods are equally valuable. Proper at-home care enhances the health of the mouth, makes your smile sparkle, and prevents serious dental diseases.
Key components of dental home care
- Eating Balanced Meals
- Reducing the Number of Snacks You Eat
- Brushing Twice a Day
- Flossing Throughout the Day

Periodontal (Gum) Care
According to the American Academy of Periodontology, gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults over age 35. Gum disease ranges from gingivitis to various forms and stages of periodontitis. The prevalence of gum disease increases with age because teeth wear down and become more sensitive as time passes; gums naturally recede and medications can affect oral health.

Restorative Dentistry
Basic, everyday activities such as eating, talking, and laughing can be challenging for people who have damaged or missing teeth, but these can all become easier again with restorative dentistry. The word restore means to return something to a former condition. Dr. Morales desires not only to restore your smile to its former health, but he also wants to make your smile look and feel even better than before!
We look forward to getting to know you!
