Family Dentistry

Preventive dentistry helps you maintain lifelong oral health by stopping problems before they start. Routine visits let us catch issues early—when treatment is easier and less costly. Using advanced digital X-rays and screenings, we create personalized care plans to protect your smile.

Our preventive services include:

• Comprehensive exams
• Professional cleanings
• Digital X-rays (2D & 3D)
• Oral cancer screenings
• Fluoride treatments
• Dental sealants for kids and teens

Gum health is just as important as healthy teeth. Periodontal disease is one of the most common oral health issues, and it can lead to serious consequences if left untreated. At Family Smile Centers, we actively screen for signs of gum disease at every visit. We believe in proactive treatment. By addressing symptoms like bleeding gums, inflammation, or gum recession early, we can protect the supporting structures of your teeth and help prevent tooth loss and systemic health issues linked to periodontal disease.

Our approach to gum care is both preventative and therapeutic, depending on your needs.

• Scaling and root planing (deep cleanings)
• Antibacterial rinses and localized medicaments
• Periodontal maintenance appointments for ongoing care
• Patient education on brushing and flossing techniques

A child’s first experiences at the dentist set the tone for their lifelong attitude toward oral health. That’s why we make pediatric dentistry a priority. We create a warm, encouraging environment to help kids feel comfortable and confident during their visits. Our team explains each step of the process in child-friendly terms and encourages parents to participate in the experience. By making dental visits positive and educational, we help children develop healthy habits from an early age.

We offer a full range of preventive and early-intervention treatments for children of all ages.

• First dental exams and introductory cleanings
• Fluoride treatments to prevent cavities
• Dental sealants to protect back teeth
• Gentle tooth-colored fillings for minor cavities
• Oral hygiene education tailored to kids and parents
