Maintain a Bright Smile With General Dental Care

Our general dentistry treatments are designed to protect and maintain your oral health through every stage of life.

Regular dental cleanings and exams remove plaque and tartar, while allowing us to detect concerns early. If gum disease is present, we provide targeted treatments to restore gum health and prevent further damage.

We also create custom mouthguards to protect your teeth from sports injuries or nighttime grinding. If you suffer from dry mouth, we offer treatment to improve comfort and reduce the risk of cavities. If you struggle with persistent bad breath, we identify the cause and provide solutions to freshen your breath and support long-term oral health.

With personalized care, we'll provide solutions giving you the smile and fresh breath you always wanted.

Preserve Your Oral Health With Advanced Diagnostics & Treatment

Our advanced technology makes your care more precise and effective. The Schick AE Sensor produces high-resolution digital X-rays, which are then analyzed using the Overjet AI system. This pairing allows us to detect cavities, bone loss, and other concerns earlier than traditional methods can.

A DIAGNOdent pen detects cavities in their earliest stages, often before they are visible to the eye. For oral cancer screenings, the VELscope uses fluorescence to identify abnormal tissue quickly and painlessly. Our two lasers allow for gentle, precise treatment.

We also use the Panthera C2 Trinocular 50:50 Phase Microscope for detailed bacterial analysis and the MicrobeLinkDX system to detect harmful oral bacteria.

For technology-driven general dentistry in Lake Jackson, contact Distinctive Dental Services today.

This was the BEST dentist office I had ever been in. It was absolutely wonderful. The people was very pleasant. Very nice. Was very concerned about your comfort and your well-being. They could hold an intelligent conversation with you. Didn't make you feel less than it was. Definitely a one-of-a-kind experience for me. I would advise every single person that I know to go to this dentistry. They are very very welcoming. You will not have a problem in going back to these people. The only sad part about it is I can only give five stars. Love these people! I am so glad that I chose them.

I’ve been a patient with dr. Elrod for 20 plus years. Hands down the best dentist in the country! All the work I’ve had done is the best quality and lasts. I still have some CEREC that have lasted over 20 years. This is the only dentist I’ve been to that I’m actually excited to go to.

Above and beyond exceptional service!! The office is stunning and the staff are exceptional. I'm definitely appreciative of the tour and gift! Very friendly and knowledgeable. They took their time and didn't make me feel like just another patient. Most importantly, I felt comfortable and heard. My only regret is not becoming a new patient sooner. Never had an experience like that at a dental office before! Thank you DDS!

I did an in office teeth whitening appointment. I thought front staff very friendly and my appointment was on time. They actually accommodated an earlier time for me. I am pleased with the results and would definitely recommend this facility! The staff was very friendly and listened to my concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry

What is general dentistry?
General dentistry includes preventive and restorative treatments that protect your oral health. Services range from routine cleanings and exams to gum disease treatment and custom mouthguards. It also involves early detection of issues to prevent more complex and costly dental problems from developing.
How is gum disease treated?
Treatment depends on the stage of gum disease. Early stages may be treated with deep cleaning procedures such as scaling and root planing, while advanced cases may require additional therapies like antibiotics to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss.
What is a custom mouthguard used for?
Custom mouthguards protect teeth from injury during sports and from damage caused by nighttime teeth grinding. They are designed to fit comfortably and securely, offering better protection than store-bought options.
