Family Dentistry: The Importance Of Oral Care For All Ages

When it comes to protecting and strengthening your family's oral health, at Station Dental Group, we know that family dentistry services can help patients of all ages not only develop good oral hygiene habits – they can help prevent more complex and expensive issues in the future.

What types of preventive services are involved with family dentistry?

These services encompass checkups and cleanings, X-rays, sealants, fluoride treatments, and more, which help to keep your family's teeth and gums healthy by preventing the buildup of plaque and tartar.

Regular checkups, in particular, are especially helpful as they enable our team to identify potential issues before they develop into bigger problems.

What types of restorative services are involved with family dentistry?

Dental fillings, root canals, extractions, crown and bridge treatment, dental implants, and more help restore the function and appearance of teeth that have been damaged due to decay, trauma, or other causes. Restorative dental care can also help patients maintain a healthy smile by preventing further damage or discomfort from occurring in the future.

What does the first visit to Station Dental Group involve?

After we've welcomed you and put you at ease, we'll usually perform a comprehensive exam and cleaning. Our family dentist will assess the oral health of each member of your family by checking for cavities, gum disease, bite misalignment, and any other potential issues. Depending on the results of each exam, we may also take X-rays to gain a more detailed look at your family member’s teeth, gums, and jawbone.

What if one of my family members is afraid of visiting the dentist?

Our calming team members will do everything we can to help put them at ease. We provide gentle, compassionate dental care and use the latest techniques and technology, including multiple sedation options, to help patients feel relaxed during their visits.
