How long has Wharton Dental been in business?
Wharton Dental was established in 1999 and has been the premiere dental experience in Wharton, TX for over 25 years.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Wharton, El Campo, Rosenberg, Hungerford, East Bernard, Boling, Louise, and the wider Wharton County community in southeast Texas.
What technology do you use?

How often should I come in for a cleaning?
Most patients should have a professional cleaning and exam every six months. Patients with periodontal disease or certain risk factors may need more frequent visits — we'll personalize the schedule for you.
What should I do if my child knocks out a baby tooth?
Baby teeth that get knocked out are usually not re-implanted, but you should still call us right away. We'll examine the area to make sure the underlying permanent tooth is unharmed and check for any other damage.
