- Oral Cancer ScreeningOral cancer is all too often diagnosed in its latest stages simply because its sufferers never have a screening. Fortunately, regular checkups and cleanings at New Horizons Dental include an oral cancer screening, too. We’ll look for the irregularities that indicate the condition like persistent bumps in the mouth, a changing facial shape, or red and white soft tissue. Oral cancer is often successfully treated when caught in its earliest stages.

- Fluoride TreatmentSometimes, a dental treatment is most effective when performed over a period of time… maybe a couple of days or even weeks. If that’s the case, New Horizons Dental can send you home with a treatment to help you achieve healthy, strong teeth at your own pace. Two of our popular take-home treatments include desensitizing for sensitive teeth, as well as fluoride treatments to help strengthen and protect tooth enamel from decay.
- Dental SealantsProtecting your child’s teeth from decay and infection is a big step to making sure they enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile for a lifetime. Our compassionate team has the caring touch that helps children feel at ease in the dentist’s office, and services like dental sealants help to protect their teeth from the bacteria and acids that cause cavities. Thin coverings painted directly onto the surface of teeth, dental sealants are highly effective at keeping your child’s smile healthy.
- FillingsRestoring teeth from cavities used to require marring your smile with silver, or amalgam fillings -- an unattractive solution that required removal of a significant portion of the natural tooth. Fortunately, those noticeable restorations are now a thing of the past! Using white or tooth-colored composite resin, Dr. Hara can now restore your teeth after decay with a beautiful, natural-looking filling that blends flawlessly with the rest of your smile.
- Resin CompositeAlthough amalgam has been ruled as safe for use in the mouth by the FDA, many patients appreciate the fact that there’s absolutely no risk for mercury exposure with composite resin.
- VeneersIf you’re ready to make dramatic improvements to your smile all at once, you’re ready to learn about porcelain veneers. This solution enhances the appearance of front teeth in just two visits to New Horizons Dental. Porcelain veneers can correct a variety of dental imperfections, including...
- CrownsCollect the tooth or its missing parts for possible reattachment. Rinse off debris in warm water, and be careful to handle the tooth by its crown, not its root.
- BridgesDental crowns and bridges are related, but they’re not exactly the same thing. If you’ve got a severely damaged tooth, a beautiful dental crown can help restore it to its regular function. Usually made of porcelain or ceramic, a dental crown is a thin, tooth-shaped covering that fits directly over the damaged tooth to protect it from further damage and strengthen it for normal use.
- Dental Bonding
- Restorative DentistryTraditional crowns and bridges have long been a wonderful way to restore teeth from serious damage, or to replace one or more missing teeth.

- Root Canal TreatmentSometimes, damage or decay are so severe that a root canal treatment is necessary to save the natural tooth and prevent extraction. But don’t worry…root canal therapy is probably not as bad as you think. In fact, the treatment for a root canal is rarely anything compared to the discomfort of the original toothache! Modern root canals performed by Dr. Hara are fast, efficient procedures that provide the relief your smile needs.
- Deep CleaningMore than half of the population has some form of periodontal disease. Without treatment, it can lead to tooth loss and other serious health risks. We use non-surgical therapies, such as Arestin local antibiotic treatment, scaling, root planning, and irrigation to attack the problem and restore your mouth to health.
- DenturesPatients who are missing several teeth or even a whole row from the top or bottom benefit greatly from the benefits of removable dentures. Whether they’re full or partial (used to replace a complete row or just a few missing teeth), dentures are a wonderful way to restore your ability to eat, speak and smile even after significant tooth loss. The prosthetics can be supported by suction, denture adhesives, or dental implants for added stability.
- Dental ImplantsPatients missing one or more teeth don’t have to tell us that they’re ready for a solution -- we know how traumatic tooth loss can be. Fortunately, dental implants are a comprehensive solution that can help you regain your smile’s function and beauty! If you’re dealing with the damaging effects of tooth loss in Frisco, Stonebriar Park, West Plano, or The Colony, don’t wait to call us to find out how we can rebuild your smile with dental implants.
- Tooth Extractions
- BracesThese days, orthodontic treatment doesn’t have to mean submitting yourself to the hassle and potential embarrassment of metal brackets and wires. With discreet options like Realine, New Horizons Dental can help you achieve the straighter teeth you desire -- without everyone knowing you’re wearing braces. People with minor crowding and small gaps in their front teeth benefit from the invisibility of Realine, which uses clear, plastic aligners to gradually shift teeth into the preferred position.
- Teeth WhiteningMost over the counter whitening products offer big results but don’t deliver. Professional in-office and take-home whitening treatments from our team result in smiles up to ten shades brighter.
