Finding the right dentist means finding someone who understands your needs and makes dental care convenient. When you search for a dentist who serves your area, you want a practice that combines expert treatment with a location that fits your schedule. Quality dental care shouldn’t require a long commute or complicated travel plans.
At Olympia Hills Family Dental, a family-owned practice since 1971, we proudly serve patients from Garden Ridge and surrounding communities from our Live Oak office, just a short drive from Garden Ridge. Dr. Jerame Hafen, Dr. Christina Gonzalez, and our team create a welcoming environment where every visit feels comfortable and every treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs. We handle everything from routine cleanings to advanced restorative and cosmetic procedures, all in one convenient location.
Comprehensive Services for Your Family
Your oral health needs change throughout different stages of life. We provide a full range of family dentistry services designed to meet those evolving needs. Regular preventive care forms the foundation of our approach, helping you avoid more extensive treatments down the road, and consistent dental visits remain one of the most effective ways to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Our general dentistry services include professional cleanings, examinations, digital X-rays, and gum disease treatment. We also offer dental fillings to restore teeth affected by decay, using durable materials that blend naturally with your smile. When more extensive restoration becomes necessary, we provide crowns, bridges, and other restorative dentistry solutions to preserve your dental health.
Transform Your Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry
A confident smile can change how you feel about yourself and how others perceive you. Our cosmetic dentistry options help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Whether you’re concerned about discoloration, misalignment, chips, or gaps, we have solutions that deliver natural-looking results. Learn more about cosmetic dentistry for Garden Ridge patients.
Teeth whitening treatments brighten your smile by several shades, removing years of staining from coffee, tea, wine, and aging. Porcelain veneers correct multiple cosmetic concerns at once by covering the front surfaces of your teeth with custom-crafted shells. For orthodontic care without traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners provide a discreet alternative that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. Dr. Christina Gonzalez is a Preferred Invisalign Provider and is fluent in English and Spanish.
Dental Implants for Permanent Tooth Replacement
Missing teeth affect more than your appearance. They can impact your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and maintain proper jaw structure. Dental implants offer a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, making them a one-tooth solution for a one-tooth problem.
The implant process involves placing a titanium post into your jawbone, which fuses with the bone to create a stable foundation. Once healed, we attach a custom crown that matches your natural teeth. This approach helps preserve your jawbone and the natural shape of your face after tooth loss. Because implants don’t require altering healthy neighboring teeth, they are often a strong choice over a bridge, and we will walk you through every option.
Dr. Jerame Hafen is certified by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), has placed more than 1,000 dental implants, and leads our Secure Smile All-on-4 program for patients who need a full arch replaced. Read more about dental implants for Garden Ridge patients.
Advanced Technology for Better Care
Modern dental technology enhances both diagnosis and treatment. We use digital low-radiation X-rays and CBCT 3D imaging, which give us clearer pictures with less radiation exposure than traditional film X-rays. This technology helps us detect problems earlier and plan treatments, including implant placement, with greater precision.
Dr. Christina Gonzalez treats snoring and sleep breathing issues with our on-site Solea CO2 laser and custom oral appliances. Learn more about our sleep apnea treatment. These tools reflect our commitment to providing a high standard of care while keeping you comfortable throughout every procedure.
