As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Hayrapetyan offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Cavity: A cavity, or dental caries, is a hole in your tooth caused by tooth decay that your dentist can fill to prevent further damage.
- Chipped Tooth: A broken or chipped tooth can cause pain and sensitivity; a general dentist can fix the chip, preventing further problems.
- Dental Disorders: Dental disorders encompass a wide range of problems affecting teeth, gums, and the mouth, and your general dentist is key to diagnosing and treating them.
- Grinding of Teeth: If you suspect you're grinding your teeth, a visit to your dentist is important to assess any damage and create a plan to protect your teeth and prevent future issues.
- Gum Disease: Swollen, red, or bleeding gums are signs of gum disease, a serious condition your dentist can detect and treat to help preserve your teeth and overall oral health.
- Tooth Abscess: A tooth abscess is a painful infection at the root of a tooth, and your general dentist can drain it, prescribe antibiotics, and potentially perform a root canal to save the tooth.
- Tooth Decay: Tooth decay is a gradual process of erosion of the tooth surface that can lead to pain and infection, which your dentist can repair and prevent from worsening.
- Tooth Demineralization: Tooth demineralization is the process where acid wears away the minerals in your tooth enamel, leaving it vulnerable to decay; your dentist will diagnose and develop a treatment plan to restore your teeth's health.
- Tooth Discoloration: Discoloration of teeth can be caused by various factors, and your general dentist can assess the issue and develop a personalized treatment plan to address it.
- Tooth Loss: General dentists diagnose the causes of tooth loss, such as gum disease or injury, and provide treatments to prevent further loss and replace missing teeth.
- Toothache: Don't suffer with a toothache! Your dentist can identify what's causing the pain, whether it's a cavity, infection, or other dental problem, and offer solutions for relief.
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. Hayrapetyan offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Dental Inlays: Dental inlays are a type of filling that's created in a lab to perfectly fit your tooth, offering a more precise and long-lasting repair.
- Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning: Ultrasonic cleaning is a more effective way to remove hard-to-reach plaque and tartar, reducing your risk of gum disease and cavities compared to manual cleaning.
- Porcelain Veneers: If you have discolored, misshapen, or slightly crooked teeth, porcelain veneers can create a straighter, brighter smile by covering the imperfections.
- Denture Repair: Through denture repair, your dentist can make adjustments to improve the fit and functionality of your dentures.
- Dental Onlay: An onlay acts like a cap for a damaged tooth, providing a more extensive and resilient restoration than a standard filling, helping to prevent future problems.
- Root Planing: Root planing is a treatment for gum disease that involves carefully scraping away infected tissue and tartar from the tooth roots to reduce inflammation.
- Root Canal: Root canal therapy is a treatment that addresses the inner portion of a tooth to save it from extraction when it's severely damaged or infected.
- Dental Bonding: Bonding is a cosmetic procedure that can fix minor imperfections in your teeth, such as discoloration or small gaps, making your smile look better.
- Non-Surgical Gum Treatment: If you have gingivitis (early gum disease), non-surgical treatment focuses on cleaning your teeth and gums thoroughly to stop the infection.
- Upper Dentures: Upper dentures are removable replacements for missing upper teeth, improving chewing, speaking, and your smile.
- Composite Fillings: Instead of using metal, composite fillings use tooth-colored resin to fill cavities, creating a natural-looking repair.
- Lower Dentures: Lower dentures are custom-made appliances that replace missing lower teeth, improving your bite and overall oral health.
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. Hayrapetyan:
- 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 for heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care isn't just about your teeth; it's essential for 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. Hayrapetyan can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding while brushing or flossing is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis). This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more serious gum disease.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity can be caused by receding gums, exposing the tooth root, or worn-down enamel. Dr. Hayrapetyan can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- 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, restoring a natural look and feel, 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.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, jawbone and gum tissue change, causing dentures to loosen. A relining procedure can reshape the denture for a better fit, or a new denture may be necessary if the existing one is significantly worn. A proper fit is essential for comfortable eating and speaking.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Hayrapetyan, can perform many root canals. For more complex cases, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. Many root canals can be performed right here in the office by Dr. Hayrapetyan.
