Choosing a family dentist for your confident smile

A family dentist is your most important healthcare professional, who deals with good oral hygiene and the prevention and treatment of your teeth and gums diseases. The American Dental Association (ADA) advises that you consult your family dentist at least twice a year to promote good oral health and treat problems that develop as soon as possible.

Many people use the terms ‘general dentistry’ and ‘family dentistry’. While general and family dentists normally carry out the same types of dental procedures, family dentists place more importance on serving children, teens, adults and elderly patients feel comfortable.

A family dentist will prepare a dental hygiene care and treatment plan specifically suited to your needs and those of your family members. This plan will comprise regularly planned dental examinations, teeth cleaning, and diagnostic testing for the prevention, detection and treatment of any dental problems that build up as early as possible.

A wide range of services can help to meet this aim, including:


• Teeth cleaning
• Digital X rays
• Fillings
• Crowns & Bridges
• Dentures & Partials
• Dental Implants
• Endodontics
• Periodontics
• Sedation Dentistry

Not all family dentists are particularly trained to give the same services. When choosing a family dentist, it is worthwhile to check the dentist’s qualifications, training and expertise to ensure that all or most of your family’s dental wants can be met by one individual. A trained family dentist has a passion for giving someone the best smile they can possibly have.

A family dentist trained in cosmetic dentistry must undergo additional training and have cutting-edge knowledge of new techniques and materials. A family dentist trained in cosmetic dentistry has a passion for giving someone the best smile they can possibly have.
