What services do you offer at Criswell Clinic?
We provide comprehensive general, cosmetic, and orthodontic dental care in Van Buren. Services include teeth cleanings, dental crowns, clear aligners, veneers, dentures, root canals, emergency dentistry, and more.
Do you accept same-day emergency appointments?
Yes. We prioritize dental emergencies and often accommodate same-day treatment for pain, broken teeth, or other urgent dental issues. Call either of our Van Buren locations to be seen as soon as possible.
What makes your clinic child-friendly?
We offer pediatric dental care for children of all ages and accept Medicaid at many of our locations. Our team creates a warm, welcoming environment to help young patients feel safe and supported during their visits.
What are clear aligners and how do they work?
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign®, are custom trays that gradually shift teeth into alignment. They’re nearly invisible, removable, and a comfortable alternative to metal braces.
What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth, while partial dentures fill gaps when some natural teeth remain. We personalize each solution for comfort, fit, and function.
Do you provide cosmetic services like veneers or teeth whitening?
Yes. We offer porcelain veneers, Zoom! whitening, and full cosmetic smile makeovers to help you achieve a radiant, confident smile.
What is non-surgical periodontal treatment?
For patients with gum disease, we offer deep-cleaning procedures like Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) to remove plaque beneath the gums—without surgery.
What technology do you use for diagnosis and treatment?
We use digital X-rays, CBCT scans, 3D imaging, iTero® scanners, and the SOLEA™ CO₂ laser for anesthesia-free fillings and advanced diagnostics.
What if I have a cracked or painful tooth?
We evaluate cracked or damaged teeth using digital imaging and recommend treatments like bonding, crowns, or root canals—based on your unique case.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
We recommend visiting us every six months for cleanings and exams. This helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes! We’re currently welcoming new patients of all ages at both of our Van Buren locations. Call us or book online to get started.
