A Positive Experience for Your Child
One of our primary goals in general dentistry is to help shape positive attitudes toward the dentist from the earliest ages. We work to create a warm, friendly environment to help children feel secure and make sure to communicate with them directly in a way that builds trust. We also use fun nicknames for our equipment and treatments.
Your child’s routine visits will help build good dental hygiene habits and healthy teeth. Ongoing care also helps prevent cavities, improve habits in dental hygiene, evaluate ongoing growth and development.
Our pediatric dentists understand the unique needs of children and are committed to making their dental visits as comfortable and stress-free as possible. From routine check-ups to more advanced procedures, our team has the expertise and experience to provide the highest quality dental care for kids of all ages.
We believe that a positive dental experience in childhood can set the foundation for good oral health throughout life, which is why we take the time to educate kids and their parents about the importance of proper dental hygiene. Our pediatric dentists also work closely with parents to develop customized treatment plans that meet the unique needs of each child.
Cosmetic Dentistry for Abilene & the Big Country
Have your teeth become increasingly discolored and crooked? As we age, teeth begin to show their wear, but at Bourland-Soben, we can give you a fresh, younger-looking smile with teeth whitening procedures and veneers.
Veneers
If you’re looking to achieve a perfect smile in Abilene, TX, dental veneers may be the solution you’ve been searching for. As a cosmetic dentistry option, veneers use custom-designed ceramic shells to enhance the strength and integrity of your teeth, while also creating a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. Thanks to advances in technology, the translucent quality of today’s veneers provides a more natural look than ever before.
Veneers are custom-designed shells made from a ceramic material that enhances the strength and integrity of your teeth. They can help with a range of dental issues including:
• Worn Enamel
• Wear & Tear
• Uneven Teeth & Misalignment
• Discoloration
• Genetic Defects
• Chipped & Cracked Teeth
Because not every patient is a strong candidate for veneers, we offer the option of esthetic crowns. In the same way as veneers, esthetic crowns also improve the strength, appearance, and integrity of your teeth, but they cover the entire tooth and provide increased protection for the front and back of your teeth. To understand more about the differences between veneers and esthetic crowns, call our office today and make an appointment.
At our dental practice in Abilene, TX, we pride ourselves on providing top-quality cosmetic dentistry services to our patients. Our team of skilled dentists use the latest technology and techniques to ensure that your veneers or esthetic crowns are custom-designed to meet your unique dental needs. We understand the importance of a beautiful, healthy smile and we’re committed to helping you achieve the best possible results.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments available today. If you’re looking to enhance the appearance of your smile in Abilene, TX, our dental practice offers professional teeth whitening services to help you achieve a brighter, more youthful-looking smile.
Teeth can become discolored or stained due to a variety of factors, including age, genetics, smoking, and certain foods and drinks. Over-the-counter whitening products may provide some improvement, but professional teeth whitening from a qualified dentist can deliver dramatic results that last longer and are safer for your teeth.
At our dental practice in Abilene, TX, we use the latest technology and techniques to safely and effectively whiten your teeth. We offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening options to meet your individual needs and preferences.

Dental Implants
Looking for the best dentist for dental implants in Abilene, TX? You now have options for a lifetime replacement of missing teeth. Dental implants are supportive replacement teeth that are anchored securely to your jawbone, promoting better oral hygiene and eliminating pain often associated with dentures or partials.
If you lose one or more teeth for any reason, you now have options for a lifetime replacement of those teeth. Dental implants are supportive replacement teeth that look like natural teeth because they are anchored securely to your jawbone. They promote better oral hygiene and eliminate pain often associated with dentures or partials.
For a long time, dentures and partials were the preferred method for replacing missing teeth. However, dentures sit on top of the gums and bone, which can result in jawbone loss, slipping dentures, and potential nerve irritation. Dental implants eliminate all these problems and allow you to eat most anything you want.
If you’re looking for the best dentist in Abilene, TX to replace missing teeth with dental implants, make an appointment to see if you are a candidate for this innovative treatment. Or ask us about these other options:
• Hybrid dentures can be used with implants to allow replacement for a complete set of teeth.
• A full set of dentures also remains a viable option for replacing teeth, especially for patients with limited funds or compromised medical health.

The Best Dentists in Abilene, TX and the Big Country
First-Time Visit
On your first visit, you will see one of our dentists for a comprehensive exam to evaluate your overall oral health. This exam involves a thorough review of your health history, and our doctors will determine what type of professional cleaning regimen you will need. The doctors also will diagnose any oral health issues that may require treatment.
Dental X-Ray
All x-rays in our office are digital, which are 70% less radiation than conventional film. X-rays will be needed at most exams for our dentists to evaluate your oral health (bone and tooth structure under the gums).
Dental x-rays are safe. The American Dental Association states the following: Radiation exposure associated with dentistry represents a minor contribution to the total exposure from all sources, including natural and man-made.
After the Dental Exam
There won’t be any surprises before or after exams. We will provide all the information you need to make educated decisions about your care—from scheduling treatment appointments to understanding your financial obligations. We also will remind you of appointments and any pre-appointment preparation.
Dental Cleanings
Cleanings twice a year from our excellent dental hygienists are key to maintaining good oral health. Exams following each cleaning allow our dentists to see if anything has changed since your last visit. Our doctors will diagnose any problems and discuss treatment options. Also, our dentists and dental hygienists will provide any advice needed to help you improve your oral health habits and limit the risk of problems.
Full-Mouth Rehab
Our goal with a full-mouth rehabilitation is to improve your smile while also correcting any deeper issues. When we lose teeth or grind them down, we increase pressure and wear on our jaw joint. This can lead to jaw pain but also manifest as headaches or pain and tenderness in the neck and shoulders. Full-mouth rehab includes a series of treatments that rebuild and restore the appearance and function of the entire mouth. Treatment is customized for each patient’s unique set of problems to achieve a pain-free smile that also benefits your overall health.
Preventing & Treating Gum Disease
The gums and bones surrounding our teeth are the foundation of any healthy and beautiful smile. The health of our gums and bones can be compromised as we age, especially when we practice certain habits, like smoking. Unchecked gum disease can result in losing teeth that are otherwise healthy. With early diagnosis and treatment, we can prevent the progression of gum disease and the loss of teeth.
If you experience any of these conditions, you may benefit from a full-mouth rehab:
• Jaw pain
• Worn or cracked teeth
• Chronic headaches
• Moving teeth
• Clicking and grinding noises in the jaw joint
• Flattened teeth
• Fillings and crowns that frequently break or come out
