What is family dentistry?

Family Dentist at your service

We know that everyone in your family has unique concerns and needs when it comes to oral health. As a family dentist, we know what's needed for your age and tooth condition, and we provide customized solutions and the following services as per your concerns.

Oral cleaning: During your regular checkups at our office, we offer oral cleaning that includes scaling and root planing performed using ultrasonic scaling appliances. During the deep cleaning procedure, we remove the adhered plaque and tartar, improving oral health and reducing the chance of developing gum diseases and oral cavities.

Fillings: Cavities are one of the most common dental diseases people face. They are caused by the erosion of the tooth enamel by the toxic substances discharged by the microbes in the mouth. They decay the teeth' underlying layers and could eventually cause a root canal infection if left untreated for long. The best way to treat cavities and to prevent them from growing bigger is to get such teeth restored using dental fillings.

Restorations: Oral restorations such as veneers, crowns, composite bonding, etc., are used to restore damaged teeth to their ideal contour and functionality. Most restorations are fabricated from dental-grade ceramic and can be customized to mimic the natural teeth' appearance perfectly, thereby keeping them under disguise.

Replacing missing teeth: Do you have a missing tooth that causes you a lot of inconveniences and embarrassment when socializing with people. We offer prosthetic restorations such as dental bridges, implants, or dentures to replace your missing teeth and give you a complete smile.

Orthodontic treatment: Your family dentist can provide orthodontic treatment to bring the misaligned teeth to proper alignment. This helps to get straighter teeth making it easier for you to brush and floss.

Pediatric care: We know treating toddlers, children, and younger patients could be slightly tricky. But our family dentists have unique and friendly ways around young patients, which allows us to treat them more effectively.
