Our approach is built around keeping your smile genuinely healthy so you are not back in six months with a bigger problem. That means thorough exams, proactive cleanings, honest treatment plans, and a team that actually explains what they are seeing. Let us show you what genuine, compassionate care with a dentist in Waco, TX, can be like.

Tooth Extractions
Our dentists do everything possible to preserve an unhealthy tooth. However, a tooth extraction is sometimes best to preserve or restore your oral health. Our dentists take great care to provide gentle and pain-free tooth extraction. We can then help you with dental implant placement to fill in the gap.

“I just moved to Waco in March of 2025 and saw Nicholas Sayer, and he is now my new General Denist. Very nice and attentive, and he was able to answer all of my questions. This was back in May, then 2 weeks later, I had an appointment with Ashley to get my teeth clean and the same thing very nice and attentive to me. It was the best and fastest teeth cleaning I've had in a very long time. Thanks, Ashley and Nick for taken great care of me and my teeth.” — Edith, 5-Star Review
What to Expect During a Routine Visit
Preventive dentistry can go a long way in keeping oral health concerns at bay. Our hygienists can remove plaque that cannot be removed with at-home care, and your dentist will keep an eye out for small concerns so they can be treated before they develop into bigger problems. Your twice-yearly appointments will involve several steps:
Dental appointments can typically be completed in about an hour, making them a quick stop in your day.
Dental Cleaning
Your hygienist will invite you to get comfortable in one of our dental chairs. They will ask if you have been having any problems, then use special tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and along the gumline. They will use a gritty toothpaste to polish your teeth and floss before bringing in a dentist.
Dental Exam
One of our dentists will examine your teeth and gums. If you or your hygienist noticed a concern, your dentist will check the area. Your dentist will also perform an oral cancer screening to catch any signs of cancer early, when it is easiest to treat. You will be encouraged to ask any questions you may have.
Follow-Up
If your dentist discovered a dental problem or you are interested in an elective cosmetic dentistry service, they can develop a personalized treatment plan for you. Then our front desk team can schedule you for a follow-up appointment right away.
Revolutionizing Care With Modern Tech
Our dentists believe that modern technology paired with dental expertise can provide their patients with the highest quality of care possible. Take a look at some of our state-of-the-art technology:
CEREC
Need a root canal? Have a damaged tooth? Dental crowns are often the answer. Traditionally, dental crowns were crafted in a lab over a week or more. Now, our Waco dentists can craft same-day crowns right in the office with our CEREC® machine while you wait. Plus, you will not have to deal with a temporary restoration.
LANAP Laser
This cutting-edge dental treatment for gum disease uses a specialized laser to target and remove diseased tissue while preserving healthy tissue, promoting healing and regeneration. This minimally invasive, precise laser reduces pain and bleeding.
3D Imaging
Cone beam 3D scanners create highly detailed, three-dimensional images of a patient's teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. This gives your dentist a more detailed view of your mouth and helps them better identify issues and plan treatment.
“An amazing experience from the get-go.”
