Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions through surgical placement of titanium posts. Our board-certified specialists use advanced 3D imaging to plan precise implant placement for optimal functionality and aesthetics. This service includes extraction, bone grafting, and final restoration for complete smile restoration.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments effectively remove stains and discoloration using advanced bleaching technology. Customized treatment plans address individual sensitivity levels while maximizing whitening effectiveness. Our in-office and take-home options deliver noticeable results in a single session or over a two-week period.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment saves infected or damaged teeth through precise removal of inflamed pulp tissue. Modern techniques and anesthesia ensure patient comfort during this restorative procedure. Post-treatment restoration options protect the treated tooth and maintain natural bite function.
Periodontal Therapy
Comprehensive periodontal therapy addresses gum disease at all stages through scaling, root planing, and surgical interventions. Early detection during routine exams prevents tooth loss while improving overall oral health. Maintenance programs support long-term gum tissue stability.
Emergency Care
Emergency dental care treats traumatic injuries including chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth. Immediate intervention preserves tooth structure and prevents complications. Our team prioritizes urgent cases during business hours and provides after-hours contact instructions for critical situations.

A very well run office, staff is always pleasant. Latoya has done my cleanings forever and she is amazing. Recently had some other stuff done and Dr. Mendee assured me I would be fine and there was no reason to be nervous & she was right! She did an awesome job! I recommend them to anyone who ask me for a dentist.

I have been with this practice even before they moved to their present location. Have watched the family grow up and add their son to the practice. I have always been treated like family. I have had routine procedures as well as crowns. I have been happy with all the work they have done for me. Latoya is the best for cleaning teeth. Office staff is friendly and efficient. Lupe the office manager will help you with all your financial questions. Dr. Brian and Dr Mendee are both caring dentists. I came here originally on an emergency basis and never left. Would highly recommend. Sue Sipe Patient

Dr. Mendee Ligon is a wonderful dentist and her staff is friendly and very professional. She and her son, Dr. Bryan Ligon, are very experienced and competent. I have had a mouthful of problems which the Doctors Ligon have worked hard to correct. I am also happy about it all being nearly painless. I highly recommend this practice for anyone afraid of dentistry. They will keep you comfortable and relaxed, therefore, also lessening the pain. Thank you to all the folks at Ligon Dental!
