You feel good if your kids have a big smile. This is always true – but especially as they head back to the classroom for a new school year. As your family dentist, we can get your crew’s smiles ready for back to school with:
- Cleanings and Exams – Families are often too busy with vacations and other summer activities like cookouts to schedule exams and cleanings for their children. Yet calendars typically get even busier after school starts, so it’s a good idea to get appointments for your family on the books now.
- Custom Athletic Mouthguards – Is your child interested in playing a sport? You’ll want to make sure they take the field wearing a mouthguard to protect their teeth from damage. While you can buy a mouthguard from sporting goods stores, it won’t fit as well as a custom-made mouthguard. Our mouthguards also don’t require a frustrating “boil-and-bite” process before the first wear.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal – If your teenager is experiencing dental pain, it’s possible they may need to have their wisdom teeth removed. In addition to causing discomfort, wisdom teeth can make them more prone to gum disease and cavities. They can also cause problems if they are crowded, at the wrong angle, or not fully erupted. Our team can handle all but the most complicated wisdom teeth removals.
- Cosmetic Dental Treatments – A nice looking smile is a confident smile! Give your family members added confidence by letting us improve their appearance with teeth whitening, tooth bonding, teeth contouring, and other cosmetic services.
Put big smiles on the faces of your family! Call Starr General Dentistry today at 254-401-0129 to schedule appointments in Waco, TX.

Make Your Dream Smile a Reality
Try to imagine your dream smile. How would you describe it? What features would it have?
Think of a smile with:
- Bright and stain-free teeth
- Teeth that look perfectly straight
- Teeth that are equally spaced without noticeable gaps
- No chips or cracks
- No undersized teeth
When your teeth look like they complement one another, you feel better about your smile. When you don’t have distracting “flaws,” you feel more comfortable sharing your smile with the people around you.
Time and again, we have seen how cosmetic dentistry does much more than improves people’s smiles. The most important thing is how a great smile can lift your self-perception.
When you are uncomfortable with or even embarrassed by your teeth, it can become an obstacle in many situations. This can hold you back in your job. It can affect how you approach business meetings.
It also can affect your personal life. Don’t turn down a chance to meet new friends or a romantic partner because you are worried about sharing your smile.
By getting veneers, you can create the smile of your dreams. Our team wants to help you get your smile where you want it to be.
How to Make a Change
Veneers are incredibly versatile. They are also incredibly simple. They don’t require moving your teeth. In fact, the prep work needed for veneers is pretty easy in a vast majority of cases.
Veneers work by concealing the things you don’t want people to see. They cover your teeth in much the same way that fake fingernails can cover your nails … if fake fingernails could last for a decade.
You can get a single veneer or a complete set of veneers depending on what change you want to make. Your veneers are custom-made to fit your teeth and to give you the smile that you want to see.
As a bonus, veneers work relatively quickly as well. In a matter of a few weeks, you could be looking at a completely different smile.
Let’s Get Started
The only way you can make a change is to take action. To get your dental veneers, schedule a visit with us soon. Call 254-401-0129 or contact us to request an appointment at Starr General Dentistry in Waco, TX.
A single lost tooth can cause a lot of problems. A set of loose dentures may seem as bad as having no teeth at all.
If you have missing teeth, you probably would like to:
- Smile with confidence
- Speak without worrying about your “teeth” moving around
- Know that you can bite and chew the food that you want to eat
Dental implants make all of that possible. Implant function as artificial roots so your replacement teeth can look and feel like the real thing.
To get your implants, call 254-401-0129 or contact us to request an appointment at Starr General Dentistry in Waco, TX.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder. It doesn’t just affect the person with this condition. It affects their family and friends as well. If you suspect you may have this condition, then you should contact our Waco, TX dental office to ask how we could help you.
Here are a few reasons that we think you should.
1. Snoring is Annoying
Snoring is often the first symptom that people notice when someone has obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Typically, that means it’s a family member or friend who is kept awake as a result of this persistent, loud snoring. That affects the quality of their sleep and how they feel the next day.
2. Breathing is Important
Sleep apnea is a condition in which someone stops breathing multiple times throughout the night. When you can’t breathe, your body is in a state of stress. That could help explain why people with untreated OSA are more likely to have complications of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes, and other health issues.
3. Be Well-Rested Makes Life More Enjoyable
The breathing stoppages we mentioned above also prevent you from getting deep sleep, which can leave you dealing with the effects of sleep deprivation. That can cause you to feel fatigued and to struggle with daytime sleepiness.
When you treat sleep apnea, you snore less. You also stay asleep longer, which means you can wake up feeling refreshed, well-rested, and alert. Call 254-401-0129 or contact us to request an appointment at Starr General Dentistry in Waco, TX. Discover how wearing an oral appliance could improve your life when you are awake.
