Family Dentistry in New Braunfels, TX
At Litton Family Dental, we provide comprehensive family dentistry. That means that no matter your age or the state of your oral health, our team can help take care of your smile. It’s okay if you’re not quite sure what dental treatment you need—that’s what we’re here for! Dr. Litton would be happy to sit down with you to check out what’s going on, discuss anything that’s bothering you, provide his recommendations, and go over your options.
MAKE APPOINTMENT
Preventive dentistry is about making sure you avoid dental problems, or at least that the problems don’t develop into serious concerns. We want to help you from spending a significant amount of time or money on something that could’ve been avoided in the first place. A major part of preventive dental care is coming in for a routine check-up every six months so we make sure you don’t need any additional treatments.
Cleanings & Exams
During a standard teeth cleaning, we’ll thoroughly clean, floss, and polish your teeth, removing any plaque or tartar that may have built up. During a dental exam, Dr. Litton will check for signs of any potential issues to ensure everything looks a-okay with your oral health.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is essential for keeping teeth healthy and strong. Many people get enough of the mineral through their water supply and toothpaste, but some people require extra treatment.
Sealants & Fillings
Sealants prevent bacteria from settling into those hard-to-reach grooves in the back teeth to help prevent cavities. If you do happen to have a cavity, we can treat it with a filling that’s tooth-colored so it blends in naturally.
Periodontal (Gum) Care
Having a healthy mouth means having healthy gums. We offer different periodontal services like deep cleanings and Arestin® antibiotic treatment to get rid of gum disease.
Mouthguards & Nightguards
If you play contact sports or have a condition called bruxism where you grind your teeth at night, we recommend having a mouthguard or nightguard made. Wearing one will prevent an injury or wear from leaving lasting damage.
Even if you are dealing with damaged or missing teeth, there are a number of options out there for you to have a healthy, fully-functioning smile again. Come to Litton Family Dental and we’ll come up with a personalized treatment plan to restore your oral health back to peak condition.
Dental Crowns in New Braunfels
Dental crowns can fix both a tooth’s form and its function. We use them to repair decayed and broken teeth, to complete the root canal or dental implant procedures, and more.

Bridges & Dentures
Dental bridges and dentures are two options for replacing missing teeth that can give you back a full smile as well as full function of your mouth. We design these restorations to fit securely and look natural. Contact our office to learn more about our services for dentures and dental bridges in New Braunfels.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a popular tooth-replacement alternative to bridges and dentures due to how closely they match the way natural teeth look, feel and function, and how they’re permanently fixed in place. Our dentures in New Braunfels can restore your confidence and smile!
Root Canal Therapy
Don’t let it’s bad reputation fool you. Root canal therapy is a routine procedure that isn’t something to be afraid of. In fact, it can mean the difference between saving and losing your tooth. We perform root canal therapy in New Braunfels to remove infection and alleviate tooth pain.
Oral Surgery
As part of comprehensive service offerings, we provide oral surgery in house, including dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, and bone grafts.

Veneers
Veneers are a way to permanently change the appearance of your teeth, whether that’s altering their size, shape, color, or spacing. Veneers are great for both small fixes as well as complete smile makeovers.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most affordable and simplest ways to enhance how your smile looks. We offer both custom tray teeth whitening as well as one-visit teeth whitening.
Orthodontics
A straighter smile isn’t just more attractive—it’s healthier too! As a clear alternative to braces, we offer ClearCorrect™ aligner therapy so you can correct crooked, gapped, and misaligned teeth without brackets and wires.

Emergency Dentistry
Common dental emergencies include a painful toothache, knocked-out teeth, and broken tooth. The sooner you see a dentist, the better your chances of saving your tooth! Call us at 830-625-4313 for same-day emergency dentistry.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea doesn’t just result in symptoms like snoring or chronic fatigue. It can actually lead to serious health concerns. While a CPAP machine is the most common way to treat sleep apnea, we offer custom oral appliances as a more comfortable, more convenient alternative.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) can cause jaw pain, jaw stiffness, and chronic headaches. We can work with you to create a personalized treatment plan to pinpoint the cause of your condition and help you find relief.
Headache Prevention (NTI)
It may seem unusual to visit a dentist for chronic headaches but these might be caused by teeth clenching or grinding. If that’s the case, we can design a dental guard to alleviate the pressure and prevent headaches.
