Dental Services for All Ages
Family dentistry means being prepared to meet the diverse needs of every patient. Our services are designed with both comfort and long-term health in mind. We welcome children as early as their first tooth, with yearly exams up to age four. After that, we move to a six-month schedule to help maintain healthy habits and catch issues early.
If complex dental needs arise, we collaborate with trusted pediatric specialists to make the transition seamless. While we do not offer sedation for children, we can begin using nitrous oxide for patients aged 16 and older if needed.
We take the time to tailor our services to each patient as their needs change, no matter what stage of life you and your loved ones are in. Our offerings include:
- Cleanings and comprehensive exams
- Digital x-rays
- Oral cancer screenings
- Gum disease treatment (scaling & root planing, maintenance cleanings)
- Restorative treatments like tooth-colored fillings (amalgam available)
- Porcelain or gold inlays & onlays to preserve healthy tooth structure
- Dental implants & implant-supported restorations
- Bruxism & TMJ appliances
A Convenient and Collaborative Approach
We understand that managing dental care for a family means balancing time, trust, and treatment options. That's why we've built strong connections with local specialists, many of whom are just across the hall. Our collaborative approach streamlines care for our patients and gives you peace of mind, knowing that trusted professionals are working together on your behalf.
Orthodontic needs don't always require a separate journey. We monitor developing smiles for signs of misalignment or bite issues. If specialist care is needed, we coordinate with trusted orthodontic partners, often just steps away. This setup means patients can have wires adjusted across the hall and return to us for a cavity filling during the same visit. It's a convenience many families appreciate, especially during busy weeks with school, work, and other activities.
Support for Bruxism and TMJ Concerns
If you or anyone in your family suffers from persistent jaw pain or grinding teeth at night, we can help. Bruxism and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues are more common than you might think, and we offer custom-fit appliances to ease discomfort and protect your teeth. If your condition is complex, we'll refer you to a specialist, but for many, relief starts right here with our experienced team and carefully designed oral devices.
