Featured Services for a Healthier Smile
Routine cleanings and exams are essential to protect your oral health. Visiting your dentist at least twice a year for a teeth cleaning can help prevent plaque from building up and causing either gum disease or tooth decay. These appointments also allow your dentist to identify and address any issues promptly.
Cavities can develop even with good oral hygiene. To prevent the decay from spreading to the tooth roots or other teeth, our dentists can apply a filling to strengthen the area and prevent bacteria from entering the tooth structure. Modern tooth-colored fillings provide a seamless, realistic finish.
When bacteria enter the tooth, antibiotics are often not enough to stop the infection. A root canal removes the infected pulp and tissue in the tooth roots to relieve your pain and restore your health. Our dentists can craft custom same-day crowns right in our Waco office.
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
Preventative dentistry can go a long way in keeping oral health concerns at bay. Our hygienists can remove plaque that can't 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.
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 won't 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.”

FAQ About General Dentistry in Waco, TX
Q. What age should you bring your child in for a dental exam and cleaning?
A. Dentists recommend that children start getting regular dental exams and cleanings by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth erupts — whichever comes first. Early dental visits help ensure that a child’s teeth and gums are developing correctly and allow parents to receive guidance on oral hygiene, teething, and cavity prevention.
Q. How often should you visit the dentist?
A. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that adults and children visit the dentist every six months, while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends annual visits to your dentist. However, if you have certain health conditions, such as diabetes that can weaken your immune system, you are pregnant, or you have gum disease, it may be beneficial for you to see your dentist more often.
Q. What are my options if my dentist discovers a problem?
A. If one of our dentists serving Hewitt and Waco discovers decay, infection, gum disease, or a structural concern during your routine checkup, you can rest assured that we'll have solutions. We will explain your options, which include tooth-colored fillings, same-day crowns, periodontal care, root canal therapy, and more, and get you scheduled for treatment quickly. Our goal is to alleviate your pain and reinforce the integrity of your smile as soon as possible.
Q. Can I upgrade the appearance of my smile with your team?
A. Absolutely! We offer a wide range of cosmetic dentistry services, including teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, and comprehensive smile makeover treatments to fine-tune or even overhaul the appearance of your smile. Whether you have a single problem tooth that detracts from an otherwise beautiful smile or widespread cosmetic concerns you wish to conceal, you're in the right place with Central Texas Dental Care.
“EXCEPTIONAL.”
"With my family of 7, Central TX Dental Care's capacity to handle all my family at once, and make them all comfortable with the process when a parent can't be in all the rooms (including one who is often very anxious about dental work) makes them more than just a good dental clinic in my book, I consider them EXCEPTIONAL. Many visits now including 2 with wisdom teeth removals, and nothing but good things to say. Keep doing excellent work team!” — Kellen, 5-Star Review
