About the practice
Thoughtful care. Beautiful results. A better experience.
Our doctors practice a full scope of general, family, and cosmetic dentistry, with expertise ranging from routine preventive care through high-end cosmetic and complex restorative work.
We are committed to treating our patients with dignity and respect — which in practice means explaining what we see, laying out every option honestly, and letting you decide what is right for you.
Comprehensive dental care
Everything you need for a healthy, confident smile
Fourteen treatments across preventive, cosmetic, restorative, and surgical care — all provided here, by doctors who know your history.
Cleanings & Exams
Routine cleanings, exams, and digital x-rays that catch problems early — when they are smaller, simpler, and less expensive to treat.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening that lifts stain and discoloration, supervised by your dentist and completed on your own schedule at home.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin porcelain facings bonded to the front of the teeth to change their color, shape, and alignment — the most controlled way to reshape a smile.
Dental Crowns
Strong, natural-looking caps placed over prepared teeth to prevent fracture or restore the shape and function of a damaged tooth.
Dental Implants
Man-made roots that support a crown, bridge, or denture — the closest replacement to a natural tooth, placed and restored in one practice.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Third molar removal by a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, with sedation available, in the practice you already know.
“This office is exceptional! Dr. Dirk DeKoch is very honest in explaining all options available.”

The doctors you will actually see
Three DeKoch family dentists and a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon — so surgical and restorative treatment is planned together, not handed off across town.

Family dentistry
Care that grows with your family
We value education and preventive care, so we spend time equipping you and your family with knowledge that can eliminate or minimize tooth decay and other future problems.
We begin seeing children around six to twelve months, when the first primary teeth come in. Routine checkups aid in early diagnosis, which can help limit extensive treatment later.

Questions we hear most
Everything else is on the new patient page — or call us and we will talk it through.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please arrive 15 minutes early and bring your medical and surgical history along with contact details for your physician, a list of your current medications and any known allergies, your dental insurance information, and any recent x-rays your previous dentist has provided.
Do you accept new patients?
Yes. Alamo Heights Dental is currently welcoming new patients of all ages. Call (210) 824-3243 or send us a message and we will find a time that works for you.
Does my child need a parent with them?
Yes. A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 years of age.
When should my child first see a dentist?
We generally begin seeing children between six and twelve months of age, when the first primary teeth come in. Early visits are short and positive by design — the goal is for your child to be comfortable here long before they ever need treatment.
What are your office hours?
We are open Monday through Thursday from 8:00am until 5:00pm, and Friday from 8:00am until 12:00pm. We are closed Saturday and Sunday.
Ready to love your smile?
