Our experienced team of dental professionals is proud to provide general dentistry services to families in the Lubbock area. We offer services to all members of the family, regardless of age. You can never start visiting a dentist or seeking treatment too early. By bringing your kids in early, we can educate them on proper dental hygiene and good self-care habits to practice. We’re trained to treat all kinds of oral health issues to ensure your gums, teeth, and mouth are protected.
With general dentistry, our Lubbock dentist can ensure that any issues that may arise are eliminated and treated quickly. Dr. Ketron can also identify any alignment or development issues early on and customize a treatment plan tailored to you.
We’re committed to providing our patients with a healthy, bright smile. Our practice offers a vast array of dental procedures to encompass any needs you may have. Explore our guide below to learn more.
Our team understands the importance of a good oral hygiene routine, and we want to show your kids its importance as well. We recommend biannual check-ups for all patients, but with pediatrics, we take special care to explain the benefits of good hygiene habits; brushing twice a day, flossing, and taking care of your teeth can help prevent issues in the future.
Periodontics is the study of gum diseases and infection. During your routine checkup, one of our expert dentists will complete a periodontal examination, searching for signs of gum disease or inflammation. These types of infections can lead to significant discomfort and serious health risks. Fortunately, by coming in for regular check-ups we’ll be able to identify signs early on to treat the issue right away.
Wisdom teeth are usually the last set of teeth to erupt and are the furthest back molars in the mouth. It’s very common for their arrival to impact other teeth in a variety of harmful ways. Dr. Ketron can safely remove the teeth if needed to prevent any serious problems from developing. Typically, teenagers will be the primary patients in need of this procedure.
When a tooth becomes infected, it can spread into the roots of a tooth if left untreated. This poses a significant risk to your oral health and can have lasting effects on your overall health as well. If a root infection occurs, we can perform root canal therapy. This is a surgical procedure that can be completed in one to two sessions depending on the level of infection.
Unfortunately, sometimes a tooth has become so infected or damaged that the only remaining option is extraction. The procedure can be very similar to that of wisdom teeth removal. Under the care of our professional dentists, the experience is relatively painless and recovery can be quick. If this situation arises, we may suggest a tooth-replacement option such as a dental implant.
I have never enjoyed going to the dentist, who does? But going to Dr. Ketron, you are very well taken care of. She has made sure I am fully aware of what is going on and makes sure that I do not have any questions. She is very respectful and gets me taken care of! I won’t ever use another dentist!

Cracked a tooth, Dr Ketron’s staff was very attentive to my pain, got me is asap. Once in the clinic she took great care of me, was very gentle and was calming. I did have to get a crown. Wow this process was so simple. She prepped my tooth and the crown was back and ready for me within a week. When she put my crown on it fit perfect. No adjustments were needed. I have many crowns and this has never happened!!!! I would highly recommend Dr. Ketron for any dental needs!!! She is amazing!!!!
