Our approach

Our approach to family dentistry is chiefly concerned with the overall health and oral well-being of your family’s teeth. We also concentrate on the unique needs of children of all age groups and extend specialty services that address their needs. These services include the following.

Cleanings and Checkups

You and your family must make it a practice to visit your dentist at least once every six months for a comprehensive examination and cleanings. It is the belief of most people that children do not need these frequent visits and cleanings. But in reality, the children need extra care because their baby teeth are more delicate and more prone to develop cavities when compared to adults.

Dental Restorations

Dental restorations help restore the function and overall appearance of a damaged tooth. They can be made from different materials, including porcelain, gold, silver, and plastic. Dental restorations such as fillings, crowns, dental implants, and dentures can solve multiple problems such as damaged, chipped, broken teeth, and missing teeth.

Digital X-Rays

Dental X-rays enable us to evaluate your oral health systematically. These X-rays are used with low radiation levels to capture images of the insides of your gums and teeth. This could help us to detect problems like cavities, tooth decay, and impacted teeth.

Sealants

Sealants offer a simple method to prevent children from developing cavities. They are composed of a thin resin that ensures protection for the teeth from decay. Sealants are a preventive measure and can help save a great deal of money on dental procedures in the long run.

Tooth Extractions

As dentists, our main aim is to save your natural teeth and keep them healthy for as long as possible. However, there are times when a tooth extraction becomes a necessity. This could be due to various reasons — a tooth has incurred severe damage due to trauma or decay, an impacted wisdom tooth, or overcrowding of the teeth.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal treatment is a rather straightforward procedure to give you relief from dental pain and save your teeth. The center of a tooth has a pulp chamber, and when it develops a severe infection, it has to be treated immediately to save the tooth.
