ABOUT OUR CORPUS CHRISTI OFFICE

About Our Corpus Christi Office

Where is the Corpus Christi office located?

Smile Magic of Corpus Christi is at 5638 Saratoga Blvd, Ste 100, Corpus Christi, TX 78414, in Southside Corpus Christi near South Padre Island Drive. We serve families from Oso Creek, the Staples corridor, and South Padre Island Drive, and across Southside Corpus Christi. If you are new to the area, Nueces County is a good way to get to know the community.

What ages do you treat at the Corpus Christi office?

All of them. We are a family practice caring for patients of every age. Your whole household can see the same trusted team, which makes life a lot simpler.

Are you pediatric dentists?

We are family dentists who are experienced and wonderful with children, not board-certified pediatric specialists. For most families, that is exactly what they need, and it means the same office can care for everyone. Learn more on our children's and family dentistry page.

What makes your office good for kids?

Our office was designed with children in mind. There is a Play Gym, a Movie Theater, and an iPad Station to make the wait fun. And Se habla Español. Paired with our gentle dentists, it helps even nervous kids relax. See our children's and family dentistry page for more.

What South Corpus Christi Families Are Saying About Smile Magic

APPOINTMENTS

Booking Your Appointment

How do I book a first appointment at the Corpus Christi office?

Two easy ways. Call (361) 333-8729 and the front desk will get you on the schedule, or book online. New patients are always welcome. Let us know if you are bringing the whole family so we can coordinate the timing.

What should I bring to my first visit?

A photo ID, your dental insurance card if you have one, and a list of any medications you take. If you have had X-rays or treatment elsewhere recently, bringing those records saves us from re-imaging unnecessarily.

How long will my first appointment take?

Plan on about an hour for a new patient visit. That covers check-in paperwork, a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays if you are due, a cleaning, and a walk-through of anything we find. You will leave with a clear plan if any treatment is recommended.

Can I be seen the same day for an emergency?

Most of the time, yes. We hold room in the daily schedule for emergencies when available. Call (361) 333-8729 early in the day and we can usually see you the same day. See our emergency dentistry page.

INSURANCE & PAYMENT IN CORPUS CHRISTI

Insurance and Payment Options

What insurance do you accept at the Corpus Christi office?

What if I do not have insurance?

No problem at all. We offer a dental savings plan through Total Smile Club that includes two exams and X-rays per year, plus up to 30% off dental care all year long. Ask our front desk, or learn more on our about page.

Do you accept Medicaid at the Corpus Christi office?

Yes, depending on your specific plan. We work with Texas Medicaid and CHIP. Call (361) 333-8729 with your plan name and we will verify before you book.
