Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! We’re very conscious of our patients’ comfort at all times. We have a number of comfort options, including televisions in the operatories, blankets and pillows upon request, a skilled and compassionate staff, and modern tools and technology to speed your appointment. If you would like a little more help, we also offer inhaled dental sedation.

Absolutely! We use CEREC technology at Davenport Dental Group, which means that we can replace a broken crown in a single appointment. We’ll get you out of discomfort and back to a fully-functioning smile in no time! Plus, we offer sedation dentistry so that you can stay calm while we work.

Bleeding gums almost always indicate some level of gum disease. Caught early, gum disease is fairly easy to treat. Not correcting the problem can lead to much more painful and expensive problems. Call our office to schedule an appointment.

Want to straighten your teeth but don’t want to be stuck wearing metal braces? We understand completely! Clear aligners, also known as ClearCorrect, can complete your orthodontic work without any metal in your mouth! In fact, most people won’t even notice that you’re having work done. ClearCorrect is a great alternative to braces for adults who are working, teens who are self-conscious, etc.

We offer several options to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are an extremely durable option to replace one missing tooth or to anchor a restoration such as a bridge or a full arch of dentures. We also provide traditional bridgework to replace one or several missing teeth and traditional partial and full dentures.

A toothache is often a sign that a tooth is broken or infected (or both). It’s important that you call us as soon as you notice the pain so that we can get you into the office for an emergency appointment. In the meantime, you can take ibuprofen to relieve the pain. A saltwater rinse might also help your mouth feel better until you can get to the office for complete pain relief and a return to normalcy.

There’s no way to be certain without seeing you and performing an examination. However, we offer a very broad range of dental procedures. Dr. Davenport has successfully treated many complex dental problems. We offer a service known as full-mouth reconstruction. It’s a completely personalized and comprehensive approach that combines a number of different procedures to give you a healthy mouth and your best smile.

We love children, and our staff is great with them. Whether it’s your child’s first dental appointment or tenth, we make sure that every appointment is as fun and relaxed as possible. Oh, and we also love seniors, adults, and teens. We provide  a very wide range of dental services for people of all ages.

Absolutely! We have doctors at two locations who can help you if you’re in severe pain, if a tooth has come out or been knocked out, or if you’re experiencing facial swelling or jaw pain. If you think it’s an emergency, it probably is. Get emergency dental care by calling one of our two Laredo, TX locations at once.

There are some good reasons you should consider dental implants if you are missing teeth. Implants replace the roots of your missing teeth. They can hold crowns, bridges, and dentures securely in your mouth. Implants also can prevent the bone loss that can occur after you lose teeth. Plus, implants can restore your bite so you can eat the foods that you love again.

We offer several services to enhance and protect your smile. From preventive care to full-mouth reconstructions, you have your choice of a full range of options that include:

• General dentistry for the whole family
• Cosmetic dentistry for aesthetic and health benefits
• Restorative dentistry for ideal function
• TMJ dysfunction and teeth grinding treatment for pain relief

You have your choice of excellent care! Dr. Dick Davenport or Dr. Alessandro Vallone will see you at Junction Drive, and Dr. Matt is available at our Winfield location.
