New Dental Patient Information in Midland, TX

Routine Care and Your First Dental Visit

Before your first visit to our Midland office, we recommend that you contact your previous dentist’s office so they can send your personal x-rays and dental documents. We also ask that you bring your insurance information, if applicable, to your first visit. Your first visit will be similar to a regular routine visit to our office.

Often, routine dental appointments include:

  • Dental Cleanings
  • Digital X-rays
  • Gum Disease Screenings
  • Oral Cancer Screenings

We welcome any and all patient questions, whether they are about the diagnostic process or current concerns. Our dental hygienists use specialized dental tools to clean the teeth and gums at routine cleanings. They also provide dental sealants and fluoride treatments upon request.

Patients may also require dental X-rays and screenings for any possible problems. Then, Dr. Courter will thoroughly examine your mouth, teeth, and gums. Our dentist will recommend treatment if they find any signs of developing dental issues.

Common Dental FAQs

Learn the answers to common questions that our new patients ask our dentist.

Are you accepting new patients?

How often should I visit the dentist?

We typically recommend that patients visit the dentist for biannual routine visits or every six months. During these routine visits, we clean the teeth and gums and may take X-rays or screen for oral health issues. If our team finds that you have dental problems that require more monitoring, we will suggest a schedule for you to visit us on a more frequent basis.

Do you offer emergency dental care?

Yes, you can call our office if you have a dental emergency and we will provide you with prompt care. Some of the most common emergencies we treat include damaged or lost permanent teeth, broken dental restorations, tooth pain, and excessive bleeding.

Treating these emergencies as soon as possible helps preserve the tooth structure and prevent future dental complications.

How can I treat my dental fear and anxiety?

We aim to create a friendly and comfortable space where our patients feel confident in our dental care. Dr. Courter, his dental team, and his office staff collaborate with patients to find the best solutions for their needs. For patients with dental fear or anxiety, we offer dental sedation.

Sedation dentistry makes dental procedures more comfortable for patients. Oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide are treatment methods that we can also use at routine appointments if patients have severe fear or anxiety.
