I Want The Best For My Smile
A Smile You’ll Feel Proud Of—Right Here in Corpus
Protecting Your Smile Before Problems Start
Caring for Your Smile Starts Here
Most people don’t think about their dentist as their most important healthcare provider—but in many cases, they are. Unlike other specialists you may see once a year or only when something feels wrong, your general dentist is the one who helps you stay ahead of serious health problems before they begin.
At Vela Dental, our focus is on prevention. That means catching small issues before they turn into bigger ones—and protecting more than just your teeth. Studies have shown that poor oral health can be linked to serious conditions like heart disease, infections, and inflammation throughout the body.
With regular cleanings, checkups, and diagnostic care, general dentistry does more than maintain your smile—it helps preserve your overall well-being. When you stay consistent with preventive care, you save time, avoid pain, and reduce the risk of costly, complex procedures down the line.
Your healthiest smile starts with a plan—and we’re here to guide you through it.

Preventative Services
Preventive care is all about stopping problems before they start. Routine checkups, including x-rays and professional cleanings, help keep your teeth healthy and catch small issues early—before they become painful or expensive to fix.
At Vela Dental, Dr. Vela also takes time to guide you on how to care for your smile at home. From hygiene tips to treatments like sealants and fluoride, we give you the tools to protect your health and avoid unnecessary dental problems down the road.
Restorative Services
If we find a problem, you can feel confident that Dr. Vela will recommend the right treatment at the right time.
One of the most common issues we address is tooth decay, which can often be corrected with a simple filling to stop it from spreading. But restorative dentistry goes well beyond that.
If you’re dealing with a broken, missing, or loose tooth, Dr. Vela will get to the root of the issue and walk you through the best options—whether that’s a crown, a custom denture, root canal therapy, or another treatment tailored to restore your smile and preserve your long-term oral health.
Some problems may seem small on the surface but can quickly lead to more serious complications if left untreated. That’s why every treatment plan is built around you—your health, your comfort, and your goals.
Cosmetic Procedures
If you’re more concerned with how your smile looks than how it functions, Dr. Vela can help with that too.
For stained or discolored teeth, options like professional whitening, cosmetic bonding, or porcelain veneers can restore a bright, healthy look. If your teeth are slightly crooked or misaligned, Invisalign may be a comfortable, less invasive alternative to braces.
Dr. Vela has performed countless smile makeovers and takes pride in helping patients finally love the smile they see in the mirror.
Their Smile. Their Story. Their Words.

A Healthy Mouth— A Healthier You
Your oral health says more about your overall health than you might think. Infections in the mouth can signal deeper health issues—or even make them worse. Left untreated, oral infections have been linked to complications like uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, and pregnancy risks. Dr. Vela is trained to recognize these warning signs and will recommend treatment or refer you to a specialist when necessary.
One condition we take seriously at Vela Dental Cosmetic & Implant Center is Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This dangerous disorder causes you to stop breathing briefly while you sleep and can raise your risk for high blood pressure, stroke, and other serious issues. We offer oral appliance therapy—custom medical devices that help keep your airway open and your body protected while you sleep.
That’s why general dentistry is about more than just cleanings and checkups. Dr. Vela performs dozens of procedures that not only protect your teeth—but your total health.
