Specialized Care

FOR EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY

Pediatric and Senior Care

While general and family dentists often provide the same basic dental care, family dentists provide care for children, adults, and seniors. In contrast, many general dentists prefer not to treat seniors or children. 

Convenience

Because family dentists provide care for every member of your family, you can schedule all of your loved ones’ appointments through the same office. For a busy parent, this saves time and money.

Multiple Specialties

Because your dental health needs change as you age, every family member may require different kinds of care. To accommodate all needs, a family dentist may have multiple specialties or work with different specialists at their office. 

Does a family dentist use different tools than a general dentist?

Tools of the Trade

General dentists and family dentists rely on many of the same tools and technological innovations, including: 

  • Digital x-rays
  • Probes
  • Mouth mirror
  • Local anesthesia
  • Forceps
  • Handpieces

Depending on the dentist, certain tools may be traditional or laser-based. For example, many dentists use Waterlase as gentler and more precise alternative to traditional drills. 

Convenience, Savings, and Healthy Smiles
