Austin General Dentist

Austin is home to many qualified general dentists. To choose the Austin general dentist that's right for you, you may want to look past the image each office presents and go back to the basics. The first thing to consider when choosing among dentists is licensing and educational credentials.

In order to practice in Austin, a dentist must be licensed by the State of Texas. To qualify for this license, a general dentist must have a Bachelor's degree and a graduate degree from an ADA-accredited program. This will be followed by a period of supervised dentistry. Dentists also must pass the National Board Dental Exam (Parts I and II) and pass the General Dentistry Clinical Examination.
