As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Butler offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Loose Teeth: Loose teeth are often treatable, depending on the cause; your general dentist can assess the situation and offer solutions like splinting, periodontal treatment, or extractions.
- Anodontia: Missing teeth since birth, called anodontia, can be addressed with treatments a dentist provides.
- Open Bite: An open bite is a dental condition where the upper and lower front teeth don't meet when your mouth is closed, and your dentist can help diagnose and create a treatment plan.
- Impacted Teeth: An impacted tooth is a tooth that's stuck beneath the gum line or bone and can't erupt normally, requiring a general dentist to remove it or create a plan for its eruption.
- Dental Crowding: Misaligned or overlapping teeth due to lack of space are a condition known as dental crowding; your general dentist can assess and treat this issue, potentially using orthodontics or extractions.
- Broken Dental Appliance: Experiencing pain or discomfort from a broken dental appliance? Your general dentist can fix the issue, ensuring proper chewing and a healthy mouth.
- Tooth Decay: Tooth decay, or cavities, is damage to your tooth's enamel caused by bacteria, and your dentist can fill cavities to prevent further damage and pain.
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. Butler offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Onlay Restoration: To repair extensive decay or fractures, your dentist might use an onlay, a custom-made covering that fits snugly over the tooth's surface.
- Root Canal Retreatment: If your previous root canal fails, retreatment involves cleaning and refilling the root canals of the affected tooth to save it.
- MDI Mini Dental Implant: Missing teeth can impact your ability to eat and smile confidently; MDI Mini Dental Implants provide a solution for securing dentures or individual teeth replacements.
- General Anesthesia: Some patients choose general anesthesia for extensive dental work to minimize anxiety and ensure a completely comfortable experience.
- Crown Lengthening: Crown lengthening is a procedure that reshapes gum tissue to expose more of a tooth's surface, often needed before placing a crown or improving the appearance of a short tooth.
- Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning: This specialized cleaning uses high-frequency vibrations to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, preventing cavities and gum disease.
- Ceramic Dental Crowns: A ceramic crown is a durable, tooth-colored covering that protects a weakened or damaged tooth, improving its function and aesthetics.
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. Butler:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health. 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. Butler can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, the jawbone and gums change shape, sometimes causing dentures to loosen. Dr. Butler can reline existing dentures to reshape them for a better fit, or create a new denture if necessary. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most patients benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months. These visits are essential for preventing problems like cavities and gum disease, which can be caught and treated early before they cause pain or become costly.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of a damaged tooth. A crown is like a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth, providing strength and protection when a 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, but vital part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Butler will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- 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, which looks and feels like a natural tooth, and can help preserve the jawbone.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root or worn-down enamel. Dr. Butler can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
