What to Expect from Your Family Dentist

Family dentists are trained to offer dental services to keep patients of all ages orally healthy and smiling. From your child’s first baby tooth to the last wisdom tooth, and for the rest of their life, a family dentist will be their dental health partner, helping to prevent common dental and oral health concerns, while providing safe, modern, and effective dental solutions at every stage of teeth development.

Services Provided

Family dentists provide an array of children and adult dentistry services to ensure proper tooth development, beautiful smiles, and proper and complete oral function at all times.

All procedures begin with a thorough examination of your mouth to assess the teeth and gums, as well as the tongue, jaw, salivary glands, neck, head, and other areas of your mouth, neck and head to check for any abnormalities such as cracks, lumps, bleeding, swelling, ulcerations, discolorations, and so on. In some cases, further diagnostic procedures may be necessary, such as biopsies to check for oral cancer.

Dental services include:

  • Preventive care – regular dental examinations and teeth cleanings are essential. Many patients do not realize that the health of your mouth is a direct reflection of your overall health and wellbeing. Through an oral examination, we can detect cavities, gum disease, and other oral issues, as well as spot early warning signs of other diseases in your body, including diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
  • Restorative services – when signs of oral damage are detected, Dr. Dao can recommend an appropriate treatment option to repair the damaged tooth or smile while ensuring that as much of your healthy tooth structure is preserved.
  • Advanced services – we also offer an array of more complex treatments like orthodontics, dental implant supported tooth replacement, and oral surgery.
  • Emergency care – we are always prepared to see patients at short notice with urgent care appointments on the same day you call our office. Our objective is to provide fast pain relief and begin the restoration of your oral health right away.
