Families grow and change quickly. One day, you’re helping a five-year-old remember to brush every tooth. Before you know it, you’re talking to a teenager about wisdom teeth or wondering whether clear aligners might be appropriate. Meanwhile, your own dental needs may be changing too. That is one of the interesting things about family dentistry. Everyone in the family needs healthy teeth and gums, but how we help protect them changes with age.
Your toothbrush works pretty hard for you. Twice a day, every day, it helps remove plaque, freshen your mouth, and protect your smile. But like most things we use regularly, it doesn’t last forever. It’s easy to keep using the same toothbrush longer than you should, especially if it still looks “fine.” The problem is that worn bristles don’t clean as effectively, which means your toothbrush may not be doing as much for your smile as you think.
What does it feel like to walk into a dental office and immediately feel more at ease? That is exactly what we hope you experience when you come through our doors at Artistic Family Dentistry. Our office was created to feel comfortable, welcoming, and personal because we know your surroundings can make a real difference in how you feel about dental care.
We know that most patients consider veneers to be a purely cosmetic treatment, but they actually serve a dual purpose. Veneers combine health, function, and aesthetics to make your smile beautiful and more functional. Wanting your smile to be more beautiful is an excellent goal, but the added benefit is that it will be healthier, too.
Dental emergencies rarely happen at a convenient time. Whether you wake up with a severe toothache or chip a tooth during dinner, it can be hard to know if the situation requires immediate treatment or can wait a day or two. Understanding the difference can protect your oral health and may even save a tooth. Prompt treatment often relieves pain and prevents a small problem from becoming larger. At Artistic Family Dentistry, we provide compassionate care when unexpected dental problems arise.
Hearing from another patient can sometimes be more helpful than hearing from more experts. We are always proud when our patients want to share their experiences, and we are so grateful when our efforts are appreciated and recognized.
Choosing a dental practice is about more than finding someone to care for your teeth. It’s about finding a team you can trust, one that makes you feel comfortable, listens to your concerns, and supports you every step of the way.
Caring for patients, giving them the screenings and treatments they need to maintain a healthy smile, is the foundation upon which this practice is built. That’s why we take the time to listen to each patient’s story and give them a personalized experience. What sets us apart is the emotional care and comfort we are committed to providing, along with crowns and cleanings.
You may think you know what you’re in for when you visit us for a cleaning, but you might be surprised to find out that there is a lot more going on than you realize. In this video, our hygienist, Donna, gives us a rundown of what happens when you come in for your check-up and cleaning. Spoiler alert — it’s more than just a cleaning.
Looking better and having a more beautiful smile are great reasons to invest your time and effort into cosmetic dentistry. Having a healthy smile is an even better reason. Cosmetic dentistry is more than just making your smile look better; it is also about improving your oral health.
