At Hector Lopez DDS PC, we believe that a healthy smile starts with comprehensive general dentistry. Our goal is to provide high-quality, preventive care that helps you and your family maintain excellent oral health at every stage of life. Led by Dr. Hector Lopez, our team is dedicated to creating a comfortable environment where every patient feels at ease.

Comprehensive General Dentistry Services for All Ages

Our general dentistry services are designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy through routine and preventive care. Regular dental cleanings and dental exams are essential in preventing cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues. These visits allow us to catch problems early and provide timely treatment, ensuring your smile stays bright and healthy.

Preventive Care – Your First Line of Defense

Preventive dentistry is the cornerstone of maintaining oral health. We offer fluoride treatments to strengthen tooth enamel and protect against decay, as well as dental sealants that act as a barrier against bacteria in hard-to-reach areas. These simple, non-invasive treatments are highly effective in keeping your teeth healthy for the long term.

Early Detection with Dental X-Rays and Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection is key to addressing dental issues before they become serious. Our dental x-rays provide a clear view of what’s happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums, allowing us to diagnose and treat problems like cavities, infections, and bone loss. We also conduct oral cancer screenings to detect any abnormal changes early, ensuring you receive prompt care.

Emergency Dental Services – Quick, Reliable Care

Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and when they do, it’s important to get prompt, professional care. We offer emergency dental services to address urgent issues like severe tooth pain, broken teeth, or sudden infections. Our team is ready to provide the immediate care you need to relieve discomfort and prevent further complications.

Family-Friendly Dentistry – Care for Every Stage of Life

At Hector Lopez DDS PC, we proudly serve patients of all ages, from young children experiencing their first dental exams to adults in need of restorative care like tooth extractions or root canals. Our friendly and knowledgeable team works to create a positive experience for everyone, making dental visits something you can look forward to.
