Family Dentistry

Family dentistry is dental care that benefits every member of your family. Rather than focusing our services on just kids or just adults, our team will happily treat everyone. You can get your crew's smiles taken care of in one convenient location.

When looking for a family dentist, you should seek out an office that is used to treating patients of all ages with a wide range of dental problems. This will ensure that your loved ones receive the best care possible. It is also important to find a dentist office that is open when you need them to be, with convenient hours available.

If you have kids, it's a good idea to go to a family dentist because it will simplify the task of keeping your family's smiles in good shape. Getting your dental care in one place means you'll have all your dental records in one location, which makes it easy to transfer them if you move. Also, you can schedule multiple appointments with just one phone call.

Family dentistry includes regular cleanings and exams to prevent and detect decay and gum infections in the early stages. Many family dentists offer a range of additional services, from cosmetic treatments to oral surgery. From our perspective, family care starts with learning the needs of your loved ones and their oral health histories so we can provide the services needed to keep their mouths healthy.

Three sedation options are available for patients who feel nervous about dental visits. Inhaled sedation works quickly and wears off fast. It can be received by all ages, including young children. Oral conscious sedation produces a deeper level of relaxation for adult patients with more significant anxiety. IV sedation is also available if you suffer from more intense dental anxiety.

Invisalign and Six Month Smiles are both available for patients who want to straighten their teeth without traditional metal braces. Invisalign uses clear removable aligners suitable for most adults and adolescents. Six Month Smiles uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires to focus on the visible front teeth. Treatment is typically completed in about six months, making it a fast and discreet option for adults.

If your child snores, grinds their teeth, or struggles with asthma or allergies, mentioning it at their next dental visit is a good first step. Nighttime teeth grinding in children can sometimes signal an underlying issue such as a high-arched palate, tooth crowding, or a sleep-related concern. A referral to a pediatric ear, nose, and throat specialist or a sleep study may be recommended.

Most children and adults benefit from dental exams and cleanings every six months. Patients with a higher risk of decay, gum disease, or other oral health concerns may need more frequent visits. Keeping up with regular appointments is the most effective way to catch small problems early and avoid more extensive treatment down the road.
