As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Moore offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, and dentists can help identify and treat related oral health issues that contribute to it.
- Gum Disease: Gum disease is caused by bacteria buildup and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated; your dentist provides regular checkups and treatments to prevent and manage it.
- Gingivitis: Bleeding or swollen gums might indicate gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease that your dentist can help you control with regular cleanings and better brushing habits.
- Oral Motor Problems: Oral motor problems can impact eating, drinking, and speech; your dentist plays a role in diagnosis and recommending treatment options.
- Chronic Periodontitis: Gum disease that persists over a long time is called chronic periodontitis, leading to potential tooth loss, and your dentist provides ongoing care to prevent further damage.
- Oral Infection: A painful infection in your mouth, such as an abscessed tooth or infected gum tissue, requires a dentist's expertise to diagnose and provide appropriate treatment and pain relief.
- Crooked Teeth: General dentists identify crooked teeth and help determine the best course of action, which may include seeing an orthodontist for straightening or a specialist for other underlying issues.
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. Moore offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Root Planing: To treat gum disease effectively, your dentist may recommend root planing, a deep cleaning that smooths the tooth roots, allowing your gums to reattach and heal.
- Pediatric Filling: If your child has a hole in their tooth from decay, a pediatric filling is used to fill the cavity and protect the tooth's structure.
- Porcelain Crown: To strengthen a weakened tooth after a root canal, dentists often place a porcelain crown to protect the tooth from fracturing.
- Broken Dental Appliance: If your dentures, crown, bridge, or other dental appliance is broken, a dentist can fix it or create a new one to maintain your oral health.
- Gum Disease Treatment: Gum disease treatment helps reverse gum inflammation and infection to prevent tooth loss.
- Air Abrasion: Air abrasion is a gentle way to remove tooth decay using a fine stream of air and particles, minimizing the need for drilling.
- Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®): For patients with gum disease, LANAP® offers a less invasive treatment option using a laser to remove infected tissue and promote healing.
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. Moore:
- 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 the 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. Moore can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Moore can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
- 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. Moore will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums should not bleed. Bleeding is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis), which can progress to more serious gum disease if left untreated. This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene.
- 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 natural, and can help preserve the jawbone. If you have sufficient jawbone health, implants may be a great option for you.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch for a small area of damage, while a crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth. Crowns are used when a tooth is severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- We recommend most patients see Dr. Moore for a check-up and cleaning every six months. These visits are vital for preventing problems, allowing our team to identify and address issues like tartar buildup, cavities, and gum disease early.
