Family Dentistry

One of the primary characteristics of family dental services is to develop lifelong relationships with patients and their families. Instead of visiting various dentists to get individual oral concerns treated, having a common family dentist helps take care of the dental needs in one place.

At Mission Creek Family Dentistry, we intend to address the oral health needs of the complete family, including those of your children, at every stage of life. 

Benefits of Family Dentistry

Some of the benefits of family dentistry include:

• As a family dentistry practice, we provide a convenience factor by offering a single appointment for the whole family.
• Having a family dentist will help provide you with regular and consistent dental services at least twice a year.
• We educate family members to maintain appropriate oral hygiene by following good dental care habits.
• Regular dental consultations help combat dental phobia and anxiety in the family members. Kids, especially, feel comfortable with family dentists due to their familiar faces, making it easier to treat them. 
• Another significant benefit of family dentistry is that it would have records of your family's dental history, which will be used to provide personalized treatments.
• A long relationship with a family dentist builds trust and eases honest communication. This ultimately helps with an accurate diagnosis of the symptoms and the proper treatment.
• We will teach preventative practices to keep you away from oral conditions as a family dentist. Regular dental consultations, brushing, rinsing, and flossing helps in preventing cavities and other dental issues that may evolve in the longer run.
• In case of any emergency dental needs, you have a family dentist available that you can trust and visit at the earliest. 

Family Dentistry Services 

Family dentists usually extend oral hygiene services and preventive treatments. The most common ones include:

• Regular Cleanings and Examinations 

Regular teeth cleaning and examinations are critical to monitor kids' and adults' oral health and hygiene. Removal of plaque and tartar deposits helps keep cavities, gum disease, and other oral conditions at bay.

• Orthodontics

We provide orthodontic treatments like dental braces and Invisalign solutions to maintain your smile aesthetics.

• Dental Fillings and Cavity Checks 

As family dentists, we specialize in detecting and treating dental cavities with fillings. We provide tooth-colored fillings as they are aesthetically pleasing and last longer.

• Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatments

We provide dental sealants and fluoride applications to reduce the occurrence of cavities, especially for cavity-prone children.

• Gum Disease Treatment 

We offer deep cleanings services and gum surgeries to deal with gingivitis or periodontitis.
