Family Dentistry
Do you have to visit different dentists for every single member of your family? This could be such a hassle and lead to a lot of confusion and inconvenience. On the contrary, choosing a common family dentist can save you a lot of time and money and make it extremely convenient to schedule appointments and get treated.
Who is a family dentist?
A dentist who offers treatment to all members of a family irrespective of their ages is a family dentist. Family dentists provide treatment for almost all common oral concerns, such as cavities, cosmetic dental conditions, damaged or missing teeth, malocclusion, gum diseases, etc. In simpler words, all family dentists are general dentists.
Advantages of choosing a family dentist
- You can schedule a single appointment for all members of your family and visit the dentist together for your bi-annual consultation. This saves a lot of time and makes it more convenient.
- Family dentists can treat patients of all ages - from infants to aged individuals. This makes it a one-stop destination for all your dental needs.
- A small discount could be offered on the regular pricing based on the mutual understanding between the patients and dentist.
- Scheduling appointments would be easier with a minimum waiting period as the dentist would give you more priority.
What treatment does a family dentist offer?
- Dental examination:Routine dental examinations are crucial to ensure optimum oral health. During this, we will look into the presence of oral infections, cavities, gum diseases, malocclusion, etc. Ideally, patients should visit the dentist for a periodic consultation once in six months.
- Oral cleaning:The tartar adhered to the teeth and tooth roots must be removed regularly to prevent cavities and gum disease. This is done by oral cleaning, which includes scaling and root planing. We use an ultrasonic scaling appliance for this procedure.
- Restorations:Restorations made from dental-grade ceramic, such as crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, etc., are used to restore the teeth to their ideal contour, shape, and structural strength. They are custom-fabricated to suit each patient's unique needs.
- Orthodontic treatment:Orthodontics is the treatment of malocclusion to bring the teeth to proper alignment. This helps to get a more pleasing smile, and the straighter teeth make it easier for the individual to brush and floss.
- Pediatric care:Understanding and treating toddlers, children, and younger patients could be slightly tricky. But not for us. Dr. Hu has her unique and friendly way around young patients, which allows us to treat them more effectively.
