"General Dentist" refers to a dentist that has not limited his/her practice to any of the dental specialties.
The specialties include oral surgeon, endodontist (root canal specialist), periodontist (gums specialist), pedodontist(children's dentist), orthodontist (straightens crooked teeth), prosthodontist (crown & bridge, denture specialist), and oral pathologist.
A general dentist is trained to and can legally perform any dental procedure. Specialists on the other hand are dentists who have additional training in their specialty, and typically are limited to performing procedures within that specialty.

What services can a general practitioner dentist give?
It varies widely. Your best bet is to talk to the dentist you regularly see, and talk to them about what services they provide. By definition, a "general dentist" should be able to provide most types of dental care. However, there are times when we need to refer you to a specialist -- general dentists are sort of like going to a general mechanic for your car - you can get most things fixed there, but sometimes they have to send you to the dealership for "special" parts or procedures.
