It’s no secret that dentistry has come a long way in the last few decades. Procedures that were once costly and onerous are now routine, with faster recovery times and improved patient outcomes. While these advances are public knowledge, you may not know that one of the most cutting-edge dental offices around is right here in Lubbock. With a convenient location and a caring staff, Dental Care at Oakmont has a lot to offer to patients of all ages.

 

Headed by Lubbock natives Dr. Jay Hudson and Dr. Kaily Ghilea, Dental Care at Oakmont approaches dentistry with both high technology and a personal touch. Dr. Hudson explained it to us: “We have a state of the art facility. We utilize digital x-rays that are read by AI software to detect potential bone loss, cavities and it even suggests favorable procedures for patients. We have two 3-d scanners making impressions [the old-fashioned “goop” molds] a thing of the past. Our scanners also have the ability to simulate tooth movement for orthodontics. We are also equipped with 12 ops and 2 surgical suites for more delicate procedures.” All this technology—and the extensive education and training behind it—allow Dental Care at Oakmont to offer a wide slate of services to meet their patients needs; from cosmetic dental procedures like veneers, contouring, and teeth whitening to Invisalign treatments to restorative dentistry and endodontic procedures, this practice does it all.

 

Throughout all of this, they’ve maintained a focus on patient care and comfort, Dr. Hudson says: “It's my goal to provide the highest level of care possible that is efficient, comfortable, and convenient for my patients. I also want to educate my patients on the best ways to maintain oral health and the benefits that prevention and early restorative care can bring." Towards that end, the staff at Dental Care at Oakmont focuses on chair-side manner and developing ongoing relationships with their patients while also promotion oral health education. They’re also acutely aware of the anxiety that some of us feel at the dentist’s office, even during routine procedures. To help alleviate some of that stress, the practice offers sedation dentistry in order to provide a more comfortable experience for those who need it.

 

This flexibility and focus on patient comfort extends to all aspects of their practice. Dental Care at Oakmont offers a variety of payment options, including accepting insurances, offering annual memberships, and working with patients to establish payment plans. Working with their patients to get them the care they need allows Dr Hudson and Dr. Ghilea to further ensure that getting dental care at their office is as stress-free as possible so that the focus and energy can go to oral health and enjoying the best possible smile.
