Family Dentistry: Caring for Smiles of All Ages
Some parents choose to visit dental offices that don't offer pediatric dental services and then take their children to a separate pediatric dentist. While visiting two different dental offices can work well for some families, for others, it simply isn't convenient or feasible. Family dentistry offers a solution for parents looking for a more convenient option that never compromises the quality of care received.
Family dentistry is a type of dental care that provides treatment to patients of all ages in every stage of development and life. Family dentistry makes it possible for families to access all of the dental care they need at a single dental office with the same dentist and care team.
In addition to all of the regular benefits of dental care such as the prevention of oral diseases, the support of the body's general wellness, patient education, and having a more beautiful and healthier smile for life, family dental dentistry offers these additional advantages:
Taking your whole family to a single dental office is simply much more convenient than using separate providers. With a single dental provider, your family's information, dental insurance plan, and care records will be kept in a single office. Additionally, appointment scheduling is much easier when your whole family can take care of their dental care needs at the same time.
Family dentists hope to treat their patients for life. Individuals who begin visiting a family dentist in early childhood could potentially continue seeing the same dentist not only until they reach adulthood but even until they become seniors.
This means that family dentists always strive to foster positive and strong relationships with patients that are designed to last a lifetime. Family dentists take the time to get to know each of their patients, ensure their comfort in the office and during treatment, and put in the work to ensure successful treatment outcomes.
Since your whole family will be visiting the same dentist, we will get to know you and the rest of your family, as well. We will be familiar with and invested in your needs, your dental care goals, and your lives.
Family dental practices design and cultivate office environments that feel familiar, calm, welcoming, and comfortable for patients of all ages. This is especially important for adults with dental anxiety and children who are in the process of forming positive dental care habits. We want all of our patients to develop positive associations with dental care and visiting the dentist. Having routine dental appointments and less routine treatments in the same, familiar location can help to achieve this goal.
With comprehensive treatment solutions available and extensive experience with a wide variety of patients, family dentists can offer highly personalized care designed to meet each patient's unique needs.
With the ability to visit the same dentist throughout life, patients can enjoy a level of care continuity and familiarity that simply isn't possible with other types of dentists.
We take pride in providing comprehensive pediatric and adult dental care to patients of all ages. This includes general and preventative treatments and services such as dental exams and cleanings, dental sealants, fluoride treatments, and restorative, cosmetic, and even orthodontics.
