Hello, I am Dr. Elizabeth Manchester here at Dental Care by Design. We receive many questions about family dentistry. Today, I'm going to answer some of the most common questions on this topic to provide you with a better understanding of the benefits of family dentistry.
What is family dentistry?
Family dentistry provides a variety of dental services for patients of all ages. At Dental Care by Design, we represent family dentistry. We treat multiple family members across three to four generations. Our youngest patient is one year old, and the oldest is 96.
What are the benefits of family dentistry?
The benefits of family dentistry are as follows: continuity of dental care from childhood to adulthood by a dentist who knows you well; convenience, as you can attend appointments with your spouse, children, or grandchildren; comfort, seeing the same team members repeatedly; and the ability to undergo various procedures in one office.
Do all dentists offer family dentistry?
Most general dental offices are family-oriented and see patients of all ages. However, most specialists are not considered family dental practices and provide dental specialty care on an as-needed basis.
What services fall under family dental care?
As a family dental office, we provide the following services: dental exams or checkups, dental cleanings, treating cavities with fillings, crowns, bridges, dental implants, onlays and inlays, cosmetic dentistry, teeth extractions with or without bone grafts, emergency dental care (we will see you on the same day if you have a dental emergency), Invisalign services, teeth whitening procedures, and mild sedation with laughing gas or oral medications.
How can I find a good dentist for my family in the Olympia water area?
To find a good dentist for the entire family in Olympia, Lacey, and the Tumwater area, I would recommend the following: We would love to welcome you to our dental family. Our office is warm and inviting, providing excellent quality dental care. However, if I were a patient looking for a dentist for my whole family, I would ask my friends, family members, co-workers, and neighbors if they like their current dental office. Additionally, I would research online or read online reviews. I would call several offices to interview them and see which one you like the most.
I hope I have been able to answer some of your questions on family dentistry. If you have additional questions or would like to take action, please give us a call at (360) 800-2372. We are here to help.
