Judgment-free Dentistry in San Antonio, TX
Dr. Olivia Bustos
Hey, I’m Dr. Bustos and I aim to deliver my patients an exceptional, stress-free dental experience! I value patient relationships and actively listening to my patients’ needs and expectations. Treating each patient as if they are a member of my own family, with my warm and engaging personality, easily puts my patients at ease which allows for a comfortable and caring visit.
With my love of travel, I have been to countries such as the Dominican Republic, where I offered oral surgery and implants to the local community. I served as a past member of Habitat for Humanity and continue to volunteer my time with San Antonio youth mentorship programs. When I find free time, you can either catch me biking all over San Antonio with my husband, Brandon, cooking, traveling or spending time with my furry friends, Beatrix, Sophie, and Donny.

Frequently Asked Questions
What constitutes a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes any situation that requires immediate dental care to save a tooth, stop ongoing tissue bleeding, alleviate severe pain, or treat a serious infection. Common dental emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken or lost restorations, and injuries to the gums or lips.
What should I do if I have a knocked-out tooth?
If you have a knocked-out tooth, time is of the essence:
- Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root.
- If dirty, gently rinse the tooth with water.
- Try to reinsert it in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva.
- Call us immediately at (210) 465-3711 for urgent care.
How quickly should I seek treatment for a dental emergency?
Seek treatment as soon as possible. For certain emergencies, like a knocked-out tooth, receiving care within an hour can make the difference in saving the tooth.
Can I avoid dental emergencies?
While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene can significantly reduce the risk. Wearing mouthguards during sports and avoiding chewing hard objects can also prevent traumatic dental injuries.
Do you offer same-day appointments for emergencies?
Yes, at Cresta Bella Dental & Braces, we offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies to address your urgent needs promptly.
What if I have a dental emergency after hours?
For after-hours dental emergencies, call our office at (210) 465-3711. We have arrangements to assist you and provide the necessary guidance.
Will my insurance cover emergency dental treatment?
Coverage for emergency dental treatment varies depending on your dental insurance plan. Our office staff can help you understand your benefits and provide information on our affordable payment options.
What are my options if I don't have dental insurance?
No insurance? No worries. We offer affordable payment options and our in-house Membership Savings Plan, Cresta Bella Advantage, to ensure you receive the care you need without financial stress.
How can I manage pain before reaching the dentist?
Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort until you reach our office. Avoid applying aspirin directly to the gums or the aching tooth, as this can cause tissue damage.
How can I prepare for a dental emergency?
Being prepared for a dental emergency involves:
- Knowing our contact information.
- Keeping a small dental first aid kit handy.
- Regular dental visits for checkups to identify potential issues early.
