She is a Olde English Bulldogge that joined our team as a puppy and began providing therapy to our patients when she turned one. Bella is incredibly affectionate and is naturally inclined to comfort anxious patients. In addition, she has received obedience training and is a certified therapy dog. Whether you want some extra furry support, a helping paw, or you simply want to say hi; Bella is always available to our patients by request. When not at work, Bella is Dr. Oliva’s family pet. She loves playing in the backyard and exploring the great state of Texas alongside Dr. Oliva. Benefits of Therapy Dogs Over the past twenty years, a large body of research has indicated that therapy animals, in particular therapy dogs, have significant benefits on an individual’s mood, cognition and stress levels. The simple act of petting an animal promotes the release of serotonin, oxytocin and prolactin—hormones associated with lowering anxiety and providing comfort. In the dental setting, patients report lower pain levels, improved moods and decreased overall discomfort after animal-assisted therapy. Moreover, these studies suggest that patients of all ages benefited from interacting with a therapy animal. --- - Published: 2024-05-23 - Modified: 2025-02-17 - URL: https://www.goliaddentalcare.com/financial/membership-plans/ Apply For Dental Savings Plan at Goliad Dental Care Skip to Content 361-645-2381 [email protected] Call to Schedule Emergency?

To help you make an informed decision, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions about teeth whitening below. A bright, confident smile is one of the most common cosmetic goals among dental patients, and professional teeth whitening at Goliad Dental Care remains a popular and effective option. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions about teeth whitening below. How does in-office teeth whitening work? In-office whitening is performed by a dental professional using high-concentration whitening gel that delivers dramatic results in a single appointment. After protecting the gums and soft tissues, the gel is carefully applied to the teeth and may be activated with a special light. Most patients notice their teeth appear several shades brighter in about an hour, making this option ideal for those seeking quick, noticeable improvement. How do take-home whitening trays work? Take-home whitening trays offer professional-grade results with the convenience of at-home treatment. Custom-fit trays are created to ensure even gel distribution and reduce the risk of gum irritation. Patients wear the trays with a prescribed whitening gel for a set period each day (typically over one to two weeks) until the desired shade is achieved. How much does professional teeth whitening cost? Costs vary based on the type of whitening system used and the level of discoloration being treated. Generally, in-office whitening is more expensive due to the immediate results and professional application, while take-home trays are more affordable. We can provide a personalized estimate during your consultation. How long do whitening results last? Teeth whitening results can last anywhere from several months... --- - Published: 2024-12-19 - Modified: 2025-11-17 - URL: https://www.goliaddentalcare.com/immediate-dental-implant-placement/ Immediate implant placement is when the dentist places a dental implant in the jawbone during the same appointment as a tooth extraction. Instead of waiting several months for the extraction site to heal before placing an implant, we can perform both steps in one visit. If you’ve been told you need a tooth extraction, this advanced option could save you time and streamline your treatment process. Dental implants are widely recognized as the gold standard for restoring a smile after tooth loss. At Goliad Dental Care, we’re proud to offer a specialized service called immediate implant placement. If you’ve been told you need a tooth extraction, this advanced option could save you time and streamline your treatment process. What Is Immediate Implant Placement? Immediate implant placement is when the dentist places a dental implant in the jawbone during the same appointment as a tooth extraction. Instead of waiting several months for the extraction site to heal before placing an implant, we can perform both steps in one visit. This approach is ideal for patients who: Have fractured teeth or teeth that cannot be saved Do not have active infections or abscesses at the extraction site Have sufficient bone density to support the implant Benefits of Immediate Implant Placement Immediate implant placement offers several advantages, including: Faster Treatment Timeline: Traditional dental implant placement requires a healing period of several months between the extraction and implant placement. With immediate implant placement, you can shorten your overall treatment time significantly. Preservation of Bone Structure: Placing an implant immediately after an extraction helps prevent the bone loss that often occurs in the months following tooth removal, maintaining the natural shape of your jawline. Convenience: By combining the extraction and implant placement into one appointment, you save time and reduce the number of visits to the dental office. Improved Aesthetics: For visible teeth, we can often provide a temporary crown to... --- - Published: 2024-12-05 - Modified: 2025-11-24 - URL: https://www.goliaddentalcare.com/the-benefits-of-therapy-dogs-in-dentistry/ Dental visits can be nerve-wracking for many people, but research shows that therapy dogs can help alleviate anxiety and create a more positive experience. At Goliad Dental Care, we're always looking for ways to make your dental experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. That's why we're proud to introduce our therapy dog, Bella. Dental visits can be nerve-wracking for many people, but research shows that therapy dogs can help alleviate anxiety and create a more positive experience. Here's how: Stress Reduction: Petting a therapy dog releases hormones such as serotonin, oxytocin, and prolactin, which are associated with relaxation and reduced stress. Improved Mood: Therapy dogs help patients feel calmer and more at ease, leading to a more pleasant dental visit. Pain Management: Interacting with a therapy animal has been shown to lower perceived pain levels, making procedures more tolerable. All-Ages Appeal: From children to seniors, patients of all ages report feeling more comfortable when a therapy dog is present. Meet Bella, Our In-Office Therapy Dog At Goliad Dental Care, we're always looking for ways to make your dental experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. That's why we're proud to introduce our therapy dog, Bella. Bella is an adorable Olde English Bulldogge who has been a beloved team member since she was just a puppy. Now a fully trained and certified therapy dog, Bella has a natural gift for comforting anxious patients and spreading joy throughout our office. Her affectionate and gentle demeanor makes her the perfect companion during dental visits. Whether you need a furry friend to hold your hand (or paw! ) through a procedure or want to say hello, Bella is here to provide support upon request.

At Goliad Dental Care, we’re committed to making your visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible, and IV sedation is one of the tools we use to achieve that. What Is IV Sedation?

Growth Angle: Wisdom teeth can grow sideways, backward, or at an awkward angle. Genetics: Some people are more prone to impaction due to hereditary factors.
