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:
- Hutchinson Incisors: Your dentist can recognize Hutchinson incisors, teeth with unusual shapes indicating possible congenital syphilis, during a regular dental exam and refer you to appropriate specialists if needed.
- Periodontitis: If left untreated, periodontitis can lead to tooth loss, so regular dental checkups are key for early detection and treatment by your dentist.
- Tooth Damage: Tooth damage can lead to infection, sensitivity, and discomfort, but your general dentist has the expertise to repair and protect your damaged teeth.
- Candidiasis of Mouth: Oral thrush is a common fungal infection that appears as creamy white lesions on the tongue or inner cheeks, and your dentist can prescribe medication to eliminate it.
- Chronic Periodontitis: If gum inflammation becomes severe and long-lasting, it's known as chronic periodontitis, requiring professional dental treatment to control infection and save your teeth.
- Grinding of Teeth: Do you wake up with jaw pain or headaches? You might be grinding your teeth at night, a problem your dentist can help manage to protect your teeth and alleviate discomfort.
- Tender Gums: Experiencing tender gums? A general dentist can determine the cause, whether it's simple inflammation or something more complex, and provide appropriate treatment.
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:
- General Anesthesia: General anesthesia is a medically induced state of deep sleep where you won't feel pain or be aware of what's happening during a dental procedure.
- MDI Mini Dental Implant: If you've lost teeth and want a stable solution for replacing them, MDI Mini Dental Implants might be an option; these small implants act as anchors for dentures or individual crowns.
- Cerec® Tooth Restoration Procedure: If you need a crown to repair a damaged tooth, Cerec® offers a convenient, same-day solution that avoids the need for multiple dental visits and temporary crowns.
- Air Abrasion: For sensitive teeth, air abrasion offers a less invasive way to remove decay and prepare the tooth for a filling, often causing less discomfort.
- Dental Crown: Crowns are used to cover teeth after root canal treatment, making them strong and durable again.
- Inlay Restoration: Inlays are used to repair moderate-to-severe tooth decay, providing a stronger, more durable solution than a simple filling.
- Dental X-Ray: Dental X-rays are special pictures of your teeth and jaw that help dentists spot cavities, infections, or other problems.
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 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 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 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 a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth, used when the tooth is more severely damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing extra strength and protection.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists, like Dr. Moore, are trained to perform many root canals. However, for more complex cases, such as a difficult-to-reach molar, 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. Moore.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months. These visits are crucial for prevention, as they allow the dental team to remove tartar buildup and catch problems like cavities or gum disease early.
- 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. Moore can perform a relining procedure to reshape the denture for a better fit, or create a new one if needed. A proper fit is crucial for comfortable eating and speaking.
- 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.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless visual inspection of your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Dr. Moore performs this vital part of every routine dental exam to help detect oral cancer early, when treatment is most successful.
