Hi, I'm Dr. Amy from Boulder Canyon Dental. We often receive questions about family dentistry and the difference between family and general dentistry. I wanted to take some time today to go over some of the common questions to give you a better understanding of what family dentistry really means.
Dr. Amy, what is family dentistry?
Family dentistry is exactly what it sounds like—dental care for the entire family. Here at Boulder Canyon Dental, we start seeing patients as early as their first tooth erupts and continue well into their golden years. This way, we're able to create familiarity, provide comprehensive care, and build a real relationship with our patients.
What are the benefits of family dentistry?
The benefits of family dentistry include the continuity of care. You can see us for every dental issue throughout your lifetime. You're able to build a real relationship with us as you come in with different family members. Many families appreciate that they can make one appointment for the entire family, saving travel time. We see patients from the very start of their dental journey, so we are a place that your entire family can trust. It's not uncommon for a patient to arrive for their scheduled cleaning and want to show the doctor a picture of their child to get some advice.
Do all dentists offer family dentistry?
Not all dentists offer family dentistry, so it's important to call and ask at what age they begin seeing patients.
What services fall under family dental care?
Family dental care encompasses all dental services. This could include a general checkup, cleaning, fillings, crowns, root canals, and extractions. Here, we also offer a variety of dental appliances, from space maintainers to sports guards. With the training that myself and the other doctors in our office have, we're able to offer almost every procedure in one place, during one visit, with people you know and trust.
How can I find a good dentist for my family in Boulder?
The best way to find a good dentist for your family in Boulder is to call us or search on Google and look at Google reviews. Talk to friends and family. Consult your pediatrician. These are all great sources for advice.
Why should I come to Boulder Canyon Dental for my family?
