As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Johnson offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Candidiasis of Mouth: Painful white patches or redness in your mouth might be oral candidiasis (thrush), a fungal infection that your dentist can diagnose and treat with appropriate antifungal therapies.
- Misshapen Teeth: Misshapen teeth, also known as malocclusion, refer to teeth that are crooked, crowded, or improperly aligned, and a general dentist can help assess and recommend treatment options like braces or Invisalign.
- Lichen Planus: If you have mouth sores or white patches that may be lichen planus, your dentist can provide a diagnosis, discuss treatment options, and monitor the condition over time.
- Black Hairy Tongue: A general dentist can diagnose and advise on managing black hairy tongue, a temporary discoloration making your tongue look dark and fuzzy, often caused by poor oral hygiene.
- Ankylosis of Tooth: A tooth's root can become firmly attached to the jawbone, a condition called ankylosis, affecting normal chewing and potentially causing other dental problems. A general dentist will diagnose and develop a treatment plan.
- Cavity: If you have a cavity, your dentist will remove the decayed part of your tooth and fill it to prevent infection and pain.
- Broken Dental Appliance: A broken dental appliance, like a crown or denture, needs immediate attention from your dentist to prevent further damage or discomfort.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.
To provide comprehensive and patient-centered care, Dr. Johnson offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Dental Onlay: Dental onlays are used to repair teeth with extensive decay or fractures, offering a stronger, more long-lasting solution compared to a traditional filling.
- Dental Sealant: Sealants are a preventative measure applied to molars to block grooves where cavities often start, keeping teeth healthy.
- Restorative Procedure: If you have a damaged tooth, a restorative procedure can rebuild or replace it to prevent further issues.
- Pediatric Dental Exam: A pediatric dental exam is a checkup specifically for children to detect cavities, gum problems, and other oral health issues early.
- Air Abrasion: Air abrasion is a modern technique that removes tooth decay with a stream of microscopic particles, leading to a more comfortable experience compared to traditional drilling.
- Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning: This specialized cleaning uses high-frequency vibrations to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, preventing cavities and gum disease.
- Oral Surgical Procedures: Some oral surgical procedures are done to diagnose or treat conditions that affect the gums, jawbone, or surrounding tissues.
Service availability can change. To understand which services are appropriate for your specific health needs, please schedule a consultation to develop a personalized care plan.
All medical services are provided in accordance with the standard scope of practice for their professional license in Texas.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Johnson:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health, including your heart. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter your bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care isn't just about your teeth; it's an essential part of maintaining your overall well-being.
- My medications make my mouth constantly dry. Is this a dental problem?
- Yes, dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common side effect of many medications. Saliva is the body's natural defense against cavities, so a dry mouth significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Johnson can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Johnson, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. In many cases, Dr. Johnson can handle your root canal right here in the office.
- Are dental implants a good option for replacing missing teeth?
- Dental implants are often an excellent long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They provide a secure foundation for a crown or bridge that looks and feels like a natural tooth, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, even if nothing hurts. These visits are crucial for prevention, as they allow our team to remove tartar buildup and catch problems like small cavities or early gum disease before they become painful or expensive to treat.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of damage, while a crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth to protect and strengthen it when the tooth is significantly damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Johnson will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or worn-down enamel. Dr. Johnson can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
