Family Dentistry
Every family should have a high-quality dentist with whom they can grow and build a trusting relationship. We offer a family-oriented practice to provide patients with all of their dental needs.
While we offer numerous dental services, gentle and thorough regular cleanings and check-ups are still at the foundation of our practice.
Family-Oriented Dentistry
Our team recognizes the importance of providing the dental services families need and customizing dental care for kids. Ours is a peaceful place with a warm and inviting atmosphere, and our hygienists, assistants, and front desk staff are all very friendly. We will do whatever it takes to ensure that you’re comfortable and happy during your visit.
Outstanding Oral Hygiene
Regular cleanings and check-ups are a crucial ingredient to a healthy preventive care routine. These allow us to give your teeth a thorough cleaning to remove the plaque and tartar that build up on your teeth over the months.
By examining your teeth during your visit, we can screen for any issues that may be developing, such as tooth decay or gum disease. Instead of waiting until a problem is in advanced stages, we can identify them early and avoid extensive treatment in the future.
We look forward to serving your entire family, and we recommend your child start seeing a dentist early to monitor their development. As children lose their baby teeth and grow new teeth, it’s important to check in and ensure the constant changes associated with a developing child’s teeth are occurring normally.
Your time is also valuable, and we will do everything we can to ensure that we begin your regular visits on time and complete them efficiently.
All the Dental Services You Need
Hopefully, with proper oral hygiene care and regular cleanings and check-ups at our office, your teeth will be healthy and problem-free. However, if you do require other dental services, we offer many additional types of care in-house. For example, our office can replace missing teeth, support your cosmetic needs, provide orthodontic care, and relieve pain.
If you do happen to require a service that our office does not provide in-house, we can refer you to a qualified, local specialist to fulfill your needs.
We look forward to satisfying more patients each day. Call our office to schedule an appointment for you and your family.

We welcome all ages in our office! We are happy to discuss your scheduling needs, so just give us a call and speak with our friendly front desk staff!
We know that convenience is important for today’s busy families. That is why we offer dentistry for the whole family including your children. We begin seeing kids at a young age to make sure they have a healthy dental foundation.
As your pediatric specialist, one of our primary goals is to partner with parents to help them understand how they can help their children with brushing, flossing, and protecting their oral health. Many of the choices you are making each day affect your son or daughter's oral health such as their nutrition and home care routine. Offering children healthy snacks, a balanced diet, and assistance in using proper techniques for brushing and flossing will help your child achieve and maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.
Good oral hygiene habits begin before your infant's teeth arrive. Use a warm washcloth to remove bacteria from their gums after feedings. When they get their first teeth, start brushing with a soft bristle brush designed for infants.
As they progress, you can begin to use a small smear of fluoride toothpaste to brush their teeth from ages one to three years, and a pea-sized amount when they reach are between the ages of three and six. If you have concerns about using fluoride toothpaste before your son or daughter can spit it out, you can look for xylitol toothpaste instead.
Consistent checkups with your pediatric dentist will also be essential for maintaining your child's oral health. They should visit the dentist every six months for a routine cleaning and checkup starting at age one. Contact our office for more information.
Both your pediatric specialist and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) state that your child's dental visit should be at one year of age, or at least six months after the first tooth comes in. There are many reasons to start dental care early on, such as:
- It allows your pediatric dentist to begin monitoring your son or daughter's oral health and development so they can detect any concerns at an early stage.
- It helps your child acclimate to visiting the dentist and understanding that it's a safe and welcoming place.
- This is an excellent time to ask questions about your son or daughter's oral development so you can make the most of your routine at home.
You can prepare your child for his or her dental visits by talking about it beforehand in a positive way. Reading books or stories to them about visiting the dentist can also be helpful in preparing them for what's going to happen during their appointment. You might also consider bringing your child along with you to your cleaning and checkup so they can see what visiting the dentist is like.
We are happy to help! Contact our office for more information on preparing your son or daughter for their first dental visit.
