Cosmetic Dental Associates brings together comfort and exceptional care for our patients’ dental cleanings and exams in San Antonio. Dr. Moore delivers the high-end atmosphere you’re accustomed to – because routine dental treatment doesn’t have to feel clinical to be done well. Your cleaning and exam will:
For the best results, award-winning dentist Dr. John A. Moore recommends visiting us at least twice a year for a cleaning and exam. Schedule your visit now by calling us at 210-951-4444 (Medical Center at Babcock & Huebner) or 210-942-5047 (Alamo Ranch).
Our dental hygienists may use ultrasonic instruments during your teeth cleaning. These instruments use vibration and water mist to loosen and remove debris. We also use finer hand instruments to remove smaller deposits and to smooth out your tooth surfaces. To make your teeth sparkle, we will polish them with paste that comes in a variety of appealing flavors like pina colada.
To reap the most benefits from a fluoride varnish or treatment, you can request that we apply it to your teeth immediately following your dental cleaning. Your teeth will be completely free of any plaque and will be able to better absorb the tooth-strengthening fluoride.
Dental exams are extremely important because they give Dr. Moore an opportunity to take a closer look at your mouth. Digital X-rays can reveal whether there are any oral health issues beyond what meets the eye. We’ll do an oral cancer screening using VELscope®, a World Health Organization–recognized, award-winning technology.
Of course, we will also look for cavities. A cavity in its early stages will only require a filling, while leaving one untreated for an extended period may need a root canal and a crown for repair. Regular checkups can also prevent gum disease or the progression of gum disease known as periodontitis.

I am extremely happy with the end result of my new veneers! Dr. Moore did an excellent job, he really took the time to make sure each tooth was absolutely perfect! It is very apparent that he truly cares about the overall outcome of the appearance of my teeth and my happiness!
CDA was awesome! I had always wanted to try Invisalign and Dr. Moore made it happen! I started Invisalign when I first came in and was out of the Invisalign trays in less than a year. I am in LOVE with my teeth and couldn’t be any happier. Dr. Moore and his staff were awesome and made my whole experience worthwhile.
On my first visit, I received the sculpting and extraction of one front tooth. I immediately had a temporary upper jaw full of teeth. The next visit, 2 weeks later, CDA delivered the real permanent, beautiful porcelain teeth, which were tweaked to perfection.
I am 70 years old and a dental appt sends me into a nervous frenzy. When I made my first appointment to get a consultation I was greeted by a large group of the happiest enthusiastic and kind group of people in any medical facility I’ve ever been in. I felt completely relaxed and immediately signed up for a full upper veneer treatment.
It has been 14 years since I have ever felt confident with my smile. I am completely stunned with CDA and Dr. Moore’s work. They have given me confidence and my smile back! I couldn’t be more thankful, and so blessed! Thank you so much!
My veneers are ten years old. I LOVE them! People tell me all the time how much they love my teeth, and I think that’s important. Dr. Moore is the Neiman Marcus of dentists. The best of the best!
Now since Invisalign straightened out my teeth, I smile a lot more. It doesn’t matter where I am. Now I’m more confident. Dr. Moore is really cool. Super-friendly! If there’s a problem, he corrects it. He’s a good doctor.
Dr. Moore understood what I was looking for, and when he gave me the mirror, it was amazing! I started crying. They feel like they’re my teeth. Sometimes I don’t even think that I have veneers.

In an accident, I broke a tooth. I had it fixed, and it was never the same. I had this phobia of smiling because I was afraid people would see all my imperfections. It wasn’t until I was introduced to Dr. Moore and came to visit him. … He recommended what I should do to get my smile back. I’ve had my smile back ever since.
For the majority of our patients, a dental cleaning and exam will take about an hour. During this time we might take a set of X-rays, then your hygienist will look over your mouth for any obvious issues. You’ll also get a total teeth polishing and cleaning to get rid of plaque, tartar, and bacteria from your mouth. Your dentist will then perform a total dental exam.
We advise you to visit us a minimum of twice a year for a dental cleaning and examination. These routine examinations let us keep an eye on your oral health and identify any dental issues early on. Early detection and treatment of issues like cavities and gum disease can help you avoid more intrusive treatment and ultimately lead to better overall health.
Your dentist and hygienist here at Cosmetic Dental Associates perform dental cleanings and examinations every day. We suggest you visit at least every six months so that we can keep an eye on your oral health and offer early treatment as needed. We provide a range of other dental treatments also, consisting of restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign orthodontics, and much more.
Dr. Moore cautions patients against using hard-bristled toothbrushes that can lead to premature wear and tear on the enamel of your teeth. A soft-bristled toothbrush – manual or electric – is all you need to properly clean your teeth and gums.
You can floss at night or in the morning, just as long as you floss daily. Be sure to use a new section of floss for each tooth. Work the floss gently beneath the gumline, wrap it around each side of each tooth, and work it up and down to remove plaque.
Your mouth naturally creates a film over your teeth that becomes plaque. Plaque can harden into tartar, and tartar can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. By brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once a day, you break the film before it can become tartar. When you visit us for regular teeth cleanings, we’ll remove tartar from any spots you missed. We can also coat your teeth in fluoride to toughen your enamel and fight tooth decay.
Even if you take excellent care of your teeth, it’s still possible to miss a spot. The plaque in that missed spot will turn into tartar that can be removed only by a dental professional. Your checkups also give us a chance to take X-rays, conduct an oral cancer screening, and answer any oral health questions you have. We recommend you see us every six months, or more frequently if we’re treating you for an ongoing issue.
Fluoride, a mineral found in many foods and water, helps prevent cavities by making your tooth enamel stronger. It can even reverse early-stage decay. Since it contributes to the development of healthy teeth, children under 12 may benefit from fluoride treatment. In addition, cavity-prone adults may benefit as well. Ask us about fluoride if you have dry mouth, gum disease, or wear braces or other orthodontia.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
