Visiting a Family Dentist Should be Part of Your Routine

Family Dentist
As a family dentist, we want to be part of your annual routine. We understand how important your teeth are to your daily enjoyment of life.  While you may only think about them when you are brushing and flossing your teeth, they are part of your normal life, far more than it may seem.  For example, if you have dinner with your mother, you need your teeth to smile when you see her, chat about the family and to eat your steak salad.  Without your teeth, these basic activities would be difficult, if not impossible, to do. The challenge is that you only get one set of permanent teeth.  Taking care of them is critical to being able to live a full life, without restriction, as you age.

In our dental office, we want to see you twice a year so that we can clean your teeth and remove plaque and bacteria.  This way, your mouth can remain healthy, and the chance of you developing irreversible health conditions will be minimal. Simultaneously, if you develop a cavity or gum disease, we can treat the conditions right away before they cause you any discomfort.
Why you need a family dentist.

You never know when you or one of your children will have a dental emergency.  A toothache may develop, or someone may crack a tooth.  This is all possible during the course of normal life, and it is important that you have a dentist who can help you quickly.  We can, and we welcome your phone calls.  We offer restorative dentistry so regardless of what happens to your teeth, we have you covered.  Simultaneously, we hope that you visit our dental office for preventative care first so that we can prevent many of these oral health problems from developing in the first place.
The solutions we offer in our family dentist office.

The procedures we offer are as diverse as our patients' needs.  We begin by providing preventative care to keep your teeth healthy.  Next, we offer restorative solutions should your teeth become infected.  For example, we can perform a root canal in order to remove the infected area so that the tooth can be saved.  Once the infection has been removed, we may use a dental crown to protect the tooth and prevent any further damage.  This same solution, a dental crown, can also be used to save a tooth that has been cracked or chipped because it is a cap that surrounds it completely.  Since a crown can be created in a tooth-colored material, we can also use this solution to cover darks stains in your teeth and even change their overall shape or size.  Many of our solutions work exactly like this.  They can be used for restorative care and also as a cosmetic solution.

Some of the other procedures we perform include dental implants and dental bridges to replace teeth that have been lost and teeth whitening to improve the overall appearance of teeth.  Regardless of what your needs are, we can help.
