Your dental health is important to your overall health and quality of life. Good dental health prevents cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease. When good dental health is achieved, you can enjoy more foods that you like and not experience mouth or tooth pain that you may otherwise have. Regular check-ups and cleanings with your family dentist are of the utmost importance to ensure that your teeth and mouth are being taken care of. It also helps to catch any dental health concerns early so that they can be addressed and minimize the impact on your health.

Family dentistry focuses on addressing oral health at all stages of life, particularly on children and adolescents. Family dentists are extremely similar to general dentists, but typically have more experience working with children. When you choose a family dentist, you know that you're working with an office that can address your household's dental needs at any age. This is incredibly convenient if you have multiple children, family members with special needs, or various family members of all ages. Bringing every member of your household to our family dentist allows us to build a relationship with you and can even help us detect certain hereditary dental issues before they become serious. Visiting the same office consistently throughout childhood and adolescence helps your child become more comfortable at the dentist, which can contribute to positive oral hygiene practices over their lifetime.


As a family dentist, our focus is on creating a positive dental experience for your entire family. We handle all of your cleaning and preventive procedures in one conveniently located office that serves the entire Buffalo, NY area. Adults have different dental needs than children do; by working with patients of all ages, we can seamlessly transition your child from pediatric dental care into more age-appropriate procedures while keeping the experience consistent. We will ensure that all of your family's dental needs are met, contributing to your overall health and happiness. Reach out to our office today to schedule an appointment for any member of your family!

While visiting your family dentist every six months may seem unnecessary or unpleasant, there are many important reasons to do so. No matter how well you take care of your teeth at home, having them professionally cleaned is the best defense against tooth decay.  Cleanings also offer a great way to brighten your smile which can help boost your self-confidence. It provides your family dentist with an opportunity to both keep an eye on any past dental work you've had done and screen for potential new issues, such as gum disease or oral cancer. If such conditions were to develop, you could find yourself having to spend a lot of money and deal with a lot of pain. Keeping up with your routine maintenance appointments may allow you to avoid those inconveniences. Reach out to our family dentist today to learn more about the benefits of bi-annual check-ups!
