“Dental Inlet makes me feel INCREDIBLY COMFORTABLE. Dentist visits used to be scary to me but the cleanings are quick but not rushed. I also got a filling today for a cavity and I didn’t feel anything. The atmosphere here is also incredible, everyone is so friendly and while they’re professional the workers feel like friends I’ve had for a while! Thank you Dental Inlet!”

Dental Care For Every Smile in Corpus Christi
From a quick cleaning to a brand-new smile, our Corpus Christi dental services are all in one comfortable office. Here is what each treatment does and who it is for, in plain language.
PREVENTIVE
Dental Cleanings & Exams
Routine cleanings remove the plaque and tartar that brushing misses, and your exam checks for cavities, gum disease, and early warning signs. Most adults do well with a visit about every six months.
RESTORATIVE
Fillings & Crowns
Fillings repair teeth damaged by decay. Crowns cover and protect teeth that are cracked, heavily worn, or weakened. Both restore the tooth’s strength and shape so you can chew comfortably.
URGENT
Emergency Dentist
A severe toothache, chipped or knocked-out tooth, swelling, or a lost filling needs attention fast. We offer same-day emergency care, so call us and we will tell you what to do right away.
COSMETIC
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening lightens stains from coffee, tea, and everyday wear under a dentist’s supervision, with more control and consistency than over-the-counter kits.
ALIGNMENT
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a discreet alternative to traditional braces. They straighten crowded or gapped teeth with removable, nearly invisible trays, a good fit for teens and adults who want a straighter smile without metal brackets or wires.
COSMETIC
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth to correct chips, stains, gaps, and uneven shapes for a natural-looking smile makeover.
COSMETIC
Dental Jewelry
A small gem or charm bonded to the surface of a tooth. Having it applied by a dentist, not a salon, keeps the tooth protected and the result clean.
RESTORATIVE
Dental Implants & Restorations
An implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up: a titanium post in the jaw supports a custom crown (the restoration) that looks, feels, and works like a natural tooth.
RESTORATIVE
Dentures
Custom-fitted full or partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth so you can eat, speak, and smile comfortably. We walk you through the options and check the fit.
ORAL SURGERY
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth that are impacted, painful, or crowding neighboring teeth are often better removed. We explain each step and what recovery looks like.
COMFORT
Laughing Gas Sedation
Nitrous oxide, breathed through a small mask, helps nervous patients relax while staying awake. Its effects wear off quickly after the visit.

Questions? Our Corpus Christi dental team has answers
Is Dental Inlet accepting new patients in Corpus Christi?

We accept most PPO insurances, Medicaid, and MCNA Children’s Medicaid. Plans differ in what they cover, so call us and we will help you understand your benefits.
How often should I see a dentist?
Most people do well with a cleaning and exam about every six months. Some need more frequent visits, and your dentist will recommend a schedule based on your gum health and history.
What should I do in a dental emergency?
We offer same-day emergency care, so call us right away at (361) 878-5628. If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown, rinse it gently, and keep it moist in milk. For severe swelling or trouble breathing, go to the nearest emergency room.
Is laughing gas safe?
Nitrous oxide is a mild, widely used sedative breathed through a small mask. It helps you relax while staying awake, and its effects wear off soon after the mask is removed.
Do you treat children?
Our waiting room has a kids’ play area, and our team takes extra care to help children feel comfortable.
