What is Family Dentistry?
Everyone, young or old, just growing teeth or needing replacement, needs a dentist. We practice family dentistry because we know that dental care is important for people of all ages and we provide dental care for families in Southern Colorado accordingly. We customize our service for each member of your family, as we understand each age group has different needs, concerns, or dental fears.
Family Dental Services
Children and Toddlers:
- Baby teeth : We are able to make sure your child’s smile is healthy and that teeth are growing in correctly and spaced evenly, hopefully avoiding expensive braces later.
- Cleanings : Teaching your children good brushing and flossing habits early in life is extremely important, and we can help!
Teenagers and Young adults
- Wisdom Tooth Removal : Due to the normal recovery time with this surgery we try to work around school breaks to give teens time to heal before returning to class.
- Athletic Mouth Guards : Many competitive sports in high school require the use of the mouth guard. For them to fit properly it is a good idea to consult your dentist.
- Oral Examinations and Teeth Cleanings : It is extremely important for young adults to develop good dental habits by the time they have the full set of their adult teeth. Regular visits and cleaning can re-enforce these habits.
For The Whole Family
- Tooth Extractions : When a tooth has become significantly damaged it may need to be removed rather than fixed.
- Root Canal Therapy : We will treat and eliminate the infection and apply protection for the tooth so you don’t have future issues.
- Whitening and Cosmetic Filings : Having a bright, white smile is important and we will help you keep your teeth looking their best.
- Dentures and Dental Implants : Dealing with failing or missing teeth with one of these procedures can be a permanent fix to oral health issues.
While the type of dental care you need as you age changes, the need for a quality dentist that you can trust, and that has your health as their number one concern doesn’t. The SML Dental Group wants to be your home for family dentistry.
