What to Expect From a Trip to Our Family Dentist Office

As a family dentist, we know that not everyone visits the dentist on a regular basis.  While this is highly recommended, life can become busy, and people simply put it off.  Still others may not visit the dentist due to a dental phobia or a lack of dental insurance.  Whatever the reason you have for avoiding the dentist, we encourage you to come back.  Our office is warm, friendly and inviting.  We will help you to create a treatment plan that addresses both the health concerns that you have and anything that you do not like about the overall appearance of your teeth.  This way you can love your smile again.

Treating the function and appearance of your teeth takes a creative approach.  There are many procedures that we perform that can address both simultaneously when done properly.  One of the ways that we treat your teeth is to remove any areas of decay or infection.  We can then restore them using dental fillings or dental crowns.  Both will look entirely natural and can help to improve the appearance of your teeth while also improving their health.  For example, a dental crown can be used to cover dark stains on your teeth while also protecting them from being sensitive after enamel erosion.  Dental solutions are often helpful for addressing more than one issue at a time so as long as you are working with an experienced dentist, you can accomplish multiple things.

Procedures performed by a family dentist.

In our family dentist office, we perform a variety of procedures that can address all of your dental needs. This includes preventative care like teeth cleanings and fluoride treatments. If you have tooth decay or an infection we can treat cavities and also perform root canals.  If you damage a tooth, we can restore it using solutions like dental bonding, dental veneers, or dental crowns.  Additionally, if you lose teeth, we can replace them using dental bridges or dental implants.  The solutions we offer are vast and how they are applied or which one will be right for you, is highly dependent on the extent of the issue and what your goal are. It is normal for us to provide you with more than one option as well.  This will allow you to make a decision based on what you feel will work best for you.  For example, if you do not like how your teeth appear, we may first suggest scheduling a teeth whitening procedure before moving onto dental veneers.  With so many options, we are confident that there is a dental procedure to meet your needs.

Why our patients think we are the best family dentist.

We provide comprehensive dentistry to address all of the concerns that our patients have regarding the form or function of their teeth.  We take the time to listen and to make recommendations that we know will meet your needs.  We are the best dentist because we are passionate about providing the best in oral health care.
