General Dentistry
A general dentist is a healthcare professional trained to diagnose and treat conditions related to your mouth, teeth, and gums. They are experienced in a variety of areas and provide a wide range of services to help you maintain oral health—from teeth cleanings to dental crowns and cosmetic dentistry.

A Strong Focus on Prevention
Preventive dentistry aims to prevent dental problems before they arise and help you maintain excellent oral health. Prevention at Fontenot Family Dentistry includes a wide range of treatments and services, including:
- Regular dental checkups allow our dentists to identify and treat potential problems before they become more serious.
- Oral hygiene education involves ensuring you know how to care for your teeth and gums properly.
- Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to help prevent cavities and gum disease.
- Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and protect against tooth decay.
- Dental sealants applied to the surfaces of teeth seal out bacteria and help prevent cavities.
You Deserve Stress-Free Dentistry
Dental visits can be difficult and stressful for many patients, but we don't want anxiety to prevent you from having a healthy smile. While we are as gentle as possible, sedation dentistry is sometimes the most comfortable solution. Dr. Fontenot is qualified to offer a full range of dental sedation, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and IV sedation.
Another way we create a more comfortable experience is by focusing on building trust. Relaxing and getting the care you need is much easier when you have complete trust and confidence in the dental team treating you.
