At Red Balloon Dentistry, we’re delighted to welcome new patients and families to both of our locations. Whether you’re seeking exceptional pediatric dentistry in Austin or comprehensive family dentistry in Temple, our team is committed to making every visit comfortable, educational, and positive.

Red Balloon Dentistry for Children in Austin specializes in the dental care of infants, toddlers, children, and teens. Our office is designed to make young patients feel safe, entertained, and relaxed. With a gentle touch and a focus on prevention, we help children develop healthy habits and positive attitudes toward dental care.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child's first dental visit when the first tooth appears, or by their first birthday. But it’s never too late — we welcome children of all ages.

During your child’s first appointment, we focus on:

• Building trust and comfort
• Providing a gentle exam
• Introducing fun, kid‑friendly dental care
• Teaching healthy brushing and eating habits
• Making the experience positive, relaxed, and enjoyable

We believe that when children have fun at the dentist, they grow into adults who take pride in caring for their smiles.

Red Balloon Family Dentistry in Temple offers complete dental care for your entire family — from young children to adults and seniors. By providing everything in one place, we make it easy to maintain your family’s oral health with consistency, convenience, and compassion.

Adults and teens visiting for the first time at our Temple location receive a thorough, comprehensive evaluation focused on long‑term oral health.

Your first visit includes:

We carefully assess the health of your gums and supporting bone structure. This includes:

• Measuring periodontal pockets
• Checking for signs of gum disease
• Evaluating bone levels
• Identifying inflammation or recession
• Creating a personalized periodontal health plan

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth, and this evaluation helps us identify concerns early.

Your full set of X‑rays allows us to:

• Examine bone structure
• Identify decay between teeth
• Evaluate existing restorations (fillings, crowns, etc.)
• Check for cysts, infections, and abnormalities
• Establish a complete baseline for future care

These high‑resolution digital images are safe, fast, and essential for accurate diagnosis and long‑term planning.

If gum health allows, we complete a thorough cleaning during your first visit. If periodontal disease is present, we will discuss next steps such as deep cleaning (scaling and root planing).

We take time to explain your results, discuss any recommended care, and answer all questions. Our goal is to help you feel informed and confident about your oral health.
