Precision. Prevention. Comfort. Confidence.
At Smile Maker of Texas, our approach to general dentistry is rooted in experience, advanced technology, and a deep respect for our patients. Under the leadership of Dr. Ritchie Beougher, our Plano dental office delivers comprehensive care that blends time-tested principles with modern innovation.
General dentistry is more than routine maintenance — it’s the ongoing foundation for your oral and overall health. From preventive cleanings and diagnostic exams to restorative and emergency care, our team focuses on protecting your teeth, preventing future problems, and helping every patient achieve a strong, healthy, and confident smile.
Whether you need a regular checkup, are experiencing discomfort, or simply want to maintain your dental health long-term, Smile Maker of Texas provides complete care for adults and teens in a calm, professional environment designed for comfort and results.
A Foundation for Lifelong Oral Health
Healthy smiles don’t just happen — they’re built through consistent, preventive care. Dr. Beougher’s philosophy focuses on identifying concerns early, using conservative treatment whenever possible, and preserving the natural structure of your teeth.
Our Plano dental team takes time to understand your goals, review your oral health history, and create a personalized plan that supports both immediate needs and long-term stability. From detailed diagnostics to precision-crafted restorations, every step of your visit is handled with care and attention to detail.
Preventive general dentistry also plays a key role in your overall wellness. Research continues to show how oral health impacts heart health, inflammation, and even immune response. By maintaining regular dental visits, you’re investing not only in your smile but also in your total-body health.
Comprehensive General Dentistry Services
At Smile Maker of Texas, we offer a full suite of general dental services for adults and teens, each designed to prevent, restore, and protect your smile.
- Comprehensive Exams & Digital Imaging: Our thorough dental exams use advanced imaging and diagnostics to catch even the smallest issues before they progress. We assess your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw alignment for a complete understanding of your oral health.
- Professional Cleanings: Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach. Our hygienists use gentle, modern tools to leave your teeth smooth, polished, and refreshed while reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: We use durable composite materials that blend seamlessly with your natural enamel. These fillings restore strength to teeth affected by decay or minor fractures — without the look of traditional silver restorations.
- Crowns & Bridges: When teeth are damaged, cracked, or missing, we restore your smile with custom crowns and bridges. Each restoration is precisely crafted for durability, aesthetics, and comfort.
- Root Canal Therapy: If a tooth becomes infected or severely decayed, modern root canal therapy can save it. Our approach focuses on comfort and precision, using digital imaging and rotary instrumentation for efficient, pain-free results.
- Gum Disease Management:
Periodontal health is essential for a lasting smile. We provide deep cleanings, scaling, root planing, and maintenance programs to address bleeding gums, inflammation, and bone loss — helping you avoid tooth loss and systemic issues. - Tooth Extractions (When Necessary): While our priority is always preservation, there are times when removing a tooth is the best option. We perform safe, gentle extractions and can guide you through replacement options, including implants and bridges.
- Nightguards & Bite Appliances: Custom appliances help protect teeth from grinding (bruxism) and relieve jaw tension caused by TMJ disorders. These devices are designed to fit comfortably and reduce long-term wear on your teeth.
- Oral Cancer Screenings: Routine oral cancer screenings are part of every comprehensive exam. Early detection is key, and Dr. Beougher uses visual and tactile checks to identify any unusual tissue changes or lesions.
- Emergency Dentistry / Same-Day Appointments: Dental pain can strike without warning — and when it does, relief shouldn’t wait. Our Plano office offers same-day emergency dental appointments whenever possible. Whether you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, a cracked crown, swelling, or a broken tooth, our team will work quickly to identify the cause, relieve your pain, and restore your comfort. At Smile Maker of Texas, we prioritize getting you out of pain and back to feeling like yourself — fast.
Preventive Care That Protects More Than Your Smile
Preventive dental care isn’t just about cleanings — it’s a strategic partnership between you and your dentist to safeguard long-term health. Routine visits allow us to identify potential problems before they progress into painful or expensive conditions.
Dr. Beougher’s approach combines modern diagnostics with personalized guidance. From nutritional habits to oral hygiene techniques and bite alignment, we help our patients understand how small choices affect lasting results. Each visit builds a stronger foundation for health, aesthetics, and confidence.
