“There are a lot of reasons it’s important to see a general dentist, not just for teeth. A lot of diseases that are in the mouth can actually contribute to heart disease, and there are a lot of other physiological problems that can start from the bacteria in the mouth. Seeing a general dentist on a regular basis can actually help prevent some of these systemic diseases that can be caused from not taking care of your mouth on a regular basis. We’ve got hygienists that do cleanings, which are very important, and then any general work that we need to do as far as crowns or fillings or root canals even, sometimes extractions are necessary, all to keep you healthy.

Dr. Ligon is great and his staff is really friendly. I had a filling this week and it was a good experience, for a filling. Too many dentist give you the numbing shot and expect to get right to work, Dr. Ligon gives the numbing time to take effect so the experience is as painless as possible. He also doesn’t ask questions you can’t answer while working on your teeth. Appointments are easy to schedule and reschedule (as long as you know at least 24 hours in advance).

Common Questions About General Dentistry
General dentistry includes several beneficial services that will help you maintain a beautiful smile and healthy mouth. These services include dental cleanings, dental exams, gum disease treatment, and custom-fit mouthguards. General dentistry forms the cornerstone of good oral health, so we recommend you visit us routinely for your preventive dental care.
Yes, these are not mutually exclusive. In fact, dental specialists are educated in general dentistry techniques before they ever go on to a more advanced area of special focus for their work. So, while it is true that specialists can practice general dentistry, many times these doctors are not open to general dentistry cases. Your best bet is to partner with a comprehensive general dentist like Dr. Ligon or Dr. Buso.
Some, though not all, general dentists perform cosmetic procedures. Thanks to your dentist’s advanced training, you can beautify your smile with many cosmetic services at Dallas Street Dental, including teeth whitening, veneers, gum reshaping, and orthodontic treatment with ClearCorrect and Six Month Smiles. We would be more than happy to work up a cosmetic treatment plan for you.
