Looking for a trusted dentist for routine cleanings, exams, and preventive care? Our general dental care services in Houston, Texas, are designed to help you maintain a healthy mouth and prevent serious dental problems before they start.

What Is General Dentistry?

General dentistry covers the foundation of your dental health. It includes everything from cleanings and check-ups to fillings, x-rays, and gum care. These routine services play a critical role in detecting issues early and keeping your teeth and gums strong for life.

Core General Dentistry Services

Our general dentistry services include a full evaluation of your oral health, catching small problems before they become bigger ones. From digital X-rays to thorough gum checks, every visit is designed to protect your smile from the inside out.

  • Dental Exams and Cleanings: We recommend regular exams and professional cleanings every six months to remove plaque, check for cavities, and keep your mouth feeling fresh and healthy.
  • Digital X-rays: Safe, low-radiation X-rays help us see what’s happening beneath the surface, allowing us to detect hidden decay, bone loss, and other issues early.
  • Cavity Detection and Fillings: If we find a cavity, don’t worry. We use tooth-colored fillings to restore your tooth’s function and appearance quickly and painlessly.
  • Gum Disease Prevention and Treatment: Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth. We screen for early signs of gum disease and provide effective treatments to reverse or manage it.
  • Oral Cancer Screenings: During every exam, we screen for signs of oral cancer to ensure your total well-being, not just your teeth.
