As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Markose offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Carcinoma Tongue: A general dentist's regular oral cancer screenings can help identify tongue cancer (carcinoma of the tongue) early, increasing the chances of successful treatment.
- Anodontia: Missing teeth since birth, called anodontia, can be addressed with treatments a dentist provides.
- Misshapen Teeth: If your teeth are not aligned properly, it can cause problems with biting and chewing, and a general dentist can offer options to improve the shape and alignment of your teeth.
- Dental Crowding: Dental crowding happens when your teeth are too crowded in your mouth, making it hard to clean and increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease; a general dentist can help with straightening or removing teeth to fix this.
- 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.
- Black Hairy Tongue: Black hairy tongue is a harmless condition where the tongue's surface appears dark and hairy, typically treated by your general dentist through improved oral hygiene.
- Tooth Displacement: Tooth displacement refers to a tooth that's moved from its usual spot in your mouth; your dentist can help restore it to its proper position or explore other solutions.
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. Markose offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and treat various health concerns:
- Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning: This specialized cleaning uses high-frequency vibrations to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, preventing cavities and gum disease.
- Broken Dental Appliance: Experiencing discomfort or dysfunction from a broken dental appliance? Your dentist can assess the damage and provide a solution, whether it's repair or replacement.
- e.max® Dental Crowns: e.max crowns are strong, tooth-colored caps that protect and restore damaged or decayed teeth, improving their appearance and function.
- Removable Appliances: For people missing teeth, removable appliances such as partial dentures can help restore your smile and chewing ability.
- Non-Surgical Gum Treatment: This treatment aims to prevent gum disease from worsening by addressing inflammation and infection with scaling and root planing.
- Onlay Restoration: Think of an onlay as a custom-fitted cap that covers a significant part of your tooth, providing strength and protecting it from further decay or fracture.
- Complex Tooth Extraction: This procedure involves more advanced techniques than a simple extraction, often requiring surgical tools and potentially stitches.
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. Markose:
- 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 is essential for maintaining not only healthy teeth but also 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 dry mouth significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Markose can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- Are dental implants a good option for replacing missing teeth?
- Yes, 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.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists like Dr. Markose are trained to perform many root canals. For more complex cases, such as a difficult-to-reach molar, a referral may be made to an Endodontist to ensure the best possible outcome. Many root canals can be performed right here in the office by Dr. Markose.
- 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. Markose will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- My dentures don't fit as well as they used to. What can be done?
- Over time, changes in jawbone and gum shape can cause 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 crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most patients benefit from a checkup and cleaning every six months. These visits are essential for preventing problems like tartar buildup and early cavities or gum disease, which can be costly or painful to treat later.
- 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.
