In addition to traditional services such as teeth cleanings and normal dental exams, this practice offers a number of cosmetic procedures intended to make patients’ smiles look their best as well as major dental surgery that includes root canal and dental implants.
Their website offers new patient information forms online that can be downloaded, printed and filled out prior to the first visit, which can save considerable time all around. Prospective patients in the North Dallas-Plano metro area can contact General and Cosmetic Dentistry with questions or to make appointments either by telephone or e-mail.
The practice is run by Drs. William K Browning DMD and James H Mulkey Jr DDS.

The practitioners at Plano General Dentistry use no mercury nor amalgams in their composite fillings, which are shaded to match the appearance of the natural tooth. General dentistry services include crowns and dental implants, which are an excellent alternative to traditional bridgework in the replacement of lost and/or damaged teeth. On their website, the dentists have placed pictures depicting examples of these implants and how they are used in tooth restoration.
They can also treat mild and early cases of gum disease with non-surgical procedures that include scaling, root planing, irrigation and in some cases, the use of antibiotics. In cases of serious and/or advanced gum disease, they refer patients to their periodontist.
One of the most dreaded dental procedures is root canal surgery. Prospective patients will be glad to know that the dentists at Plano General use the latest rotary system techniques that make the procedure virtually painless. Nonetheless, these doctors are well aware of the apprehensions that many people feel about dental visits. Therefore, they offer patients the option of “Enteral Conscious Sedation,” which involves taking a pill one hour prior to the appointment and ensures a comfortable and low-stress experience.
Several cosmetic procedures are available to Plano General patients. These include tooth whitening and bleaching, which can be done in the comfort of one’s home at his/her leisure, and porcelain veneers, which can correct the appearance of teeth that are misshapen due to crowding. For those with chipped, worn or discolored teeth, tooth bonding is another service or which clients can take advantage. This procedure is painless, requires a single visit and produces instant results.
