What Services Do Family Dentists Offer?
You’ll find care to suit all kinds of dental situations for you and your kids or other family members. Our dental team provides all of the following services.
Dental Exams and Cleanings
Your family should have a checkup and full cleaning done twice a year at minimum to keep you safe from gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health problems. Our dentists examine each patient’s teeth and gums to check for issues. For younger patients, we also evaluate jaw growth and tooth development. Cleanings remove buildup that results in cavities, leaving everyone with fresh, plaque-free teeth.
Fillings and Other Restorations
Decay, injuries, and other issues may require you or other family members to need a restoration. We offer many types for different dental problems, including:
- Dental crowns
- Fillings
- Bridges
- Full and partial dentures
- Dental implants
Sedation for Dental Anxiety
Is anyone in your family scared of going to the dentist? That’s common, especially in younger children. In addition to helping patients feel at ease, we offer sedation options to relieve nervousness. A few options that may be helpful include:
- Nitrous oxide or laughing gas
- IV sedation
- Oral sedatives
Our dentists can help you decide which solution is best for yourself or a loved one, depending on how severe the anxiety is. All of our sedation options are safe!
Gum Treatments
Did you know that gum inflammation is common, even in kids? Catching it early helps stop periodontal disease from developing. Part of our services include examining gum health to check for signs of gingivitis or other issues and treating them promptly!
Invisalign
Do you or anyone else in your family have crooked teeth? Our dentists can discuss Invisalign as a way to correct this problem or other bite issues, like overbites, in teens and adults. It’s a potential alternative to braces, using custom-made aligner trays to straighten teeth.
Dental Sealants
Worried that your kids might get cavities? We can do our part to reduce this risk with sealants. These coatings fill in all of the grooves and crevices on tooth surfaces, making it harder for decay to set in. Our dentists recommend this service for kids’ teeth, since they have a high risk of cavities.
Cosmetic Services
Hoping to correct a dental flaw in your teeth? Or do your loved ones have tooth imperfections they’re not happy with? Our dental team offers cosmetic dental care to help hide or correct these issues. Some of our services include:
- Whitening
- Bonding
- Composite fillings
- Veneers
- Onlays and inlays
- Porcelain crowns and bridges
How Often to See Our Family Dentists
That depends on what you need us for! We recommend checkups every 6 months for most of our patients. For other services, how often you visit us is based on the type of care you receive. Some restorations take one visit, while others require multiple visits. The same goes for cosmetic treatments. Orthodontic services, like aligners, also usually involve several appointments.
