Family Dentistry

Every family should have a high-quality dentist with whom they can grow and build a trusting relationship.

We are a family-oriented dental practice that provides patients with all of the services they need to maintain excellent oral health. While we offer numerous dental services, gentle and thorough regular cleanings and check-ups are still the foundation of our practice.

Family-Oriented Dentistry

Our team recognizes the importance of providing the services families need and customizing dental care for kids. Our office is warm and inviting and a peaceful place where our hygienists, assistants, and front desk staff accommodate your every need. We do whatever it takes to ensure that you’re comfortable and happy during your visit.

Outstanding Oral Hygiene

Regular cleanings and check-ups are crucial to a healthy preventive care routine. We provide a thorough teeth cleaning during these routine appointments to remove plaque and tartar that build up on your teeth over the months.

By examining your teeth during this visit, we can screen for issues like tooth decay or gum disease that may be developing. Instead of waiting until a problem is in advanced stages, we can identify them early and avoid extensive treatment in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should my child have their first dental visit?

Both your children's dentist and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) state that your child's dental visit should be at one year of age, or at least six months after the first tooth comes in. There are many reasons to start dental care early on such as:

It allows the dentist to begin monitoring your child's oral health and development so they can detect any concerns at an early stage.
It helps your child acclimate to visiting the dentist and to understand that it's a safe and welcoming place.
This is an excellent time to ask questions about your child's oral development so you can make the most of your routine at home.

You can prepare your child for dental visits by talking about it beforehand in a positive way. Reading books or stories to them about visiting the dentist can also be helpful in preparing them for what's going to happen during their appointment. You might also consider bringing your child along with you to your cleaning and checkup so they can see what visiting the dentist is like.

We are happy to help! Contact our office for more information on preparing your child for their first dental visit.

Healthy Smiles for Children of All Ages

We recommend your child start seeing a dentist early to monitor their development. As children lose baby teeth and permanent teeth emerge, it’s important to check-in and ensure that their dental development is progressing normally.

We also know how valuable your time is and will do everything to ensure that we begin your regular visits on time and complete them efficiently.

All the Dental Services Your Family Needs

Hopefully, with proper oral hygiene care and regular cleanings and check-ups at our office, your teeth will be healthy and problem-free. However, if you require treatment, we can treat most problems here at our comfortable dental office. For example, we can replace missing teeth, improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry, provide orthodontic care, and relieve pain.

If you do happen to require a service that our office does not provide, we will refer you to a qualified, local specialist to fulfill your needs.

We look forward to satisfying more patients each day. Call our office to schedule an appointment for you and your family.
