You and your family probably don’t look forward to going to the dentist — yet. But that’s just because you haven’t found the perfect dental home! That is, a place where you feel totally comfortable, at ease, and confident on your path to excellent oral health and wellness.
If your little ones dread opening up for a checkup and cleaning, or if even you put off getting your teeth checked out, it’s time for you to look for a dentist who offers the gentle, personalized care you and your loved ones deserve. That’s what an excellent family dentist in Summerlin can offer.
Keep reading to find out the top 4 reasons it’s time to pick a dental team serving patients of all ages and stages of life — from 3 to 103!
#1: A Wide Range of Services
Smiles have different needs throughout a lifetime, and a family dentist is equipped to meet them all. For children, cavity prevention is key, but great grandma and grandpa may need denture care or help fighting gum disease. And as for yourself, you may be most interested in perfecting your smile with cosmetic dentistry services. A family dentist offers all of these services, as well as specialty treatments like TMJ therapy for a clicking, popping jaw.
#2: Kid-Friendly Care
Children may be a little (or a lot) nervous when visiting the dentist. The dental office is a new, maybe scary environment that they’re not too familiar with. Visiting a family dentist ensures your little one is entering into a calm, friendly environment — and that they’re under the care of a team who is well-trained in the treatments and methods that serve children’s oral health needs best.
#3: Affordable Dentistry
Family dentists are also more likely to offer their services at a rate that you won’t have trouble fitting into your budget. Even if a dentist isn’t explicitly in-network with your dental insurance provider, most will still file and follow-up on claims to help you get the discounts you are eligible for. You can feel free to call a prospective dentist’s office first to discuss the specifics of your financial situation.
#4: Trusted By the Community
You can make sure your family dentist is well-respected by checking out their online reviews before you even schedule an appointment. Taking some time to read about what current and former patients have said about your prospective dentist can help to ensure you are making the best decision for you and your loved ones! Don’t stop short at anything less than glowing.
