Convenient Family Dentistry

It is important for you to find a dentist who offers all the treatments necessary to protect your family’s oral health. Convenience is an important factor because you don’t want to spend a lot of time running from dentist to dentist to get all your oral health care needs taken care of. At our Manhattan Beach Dentist office, you can have your family’s dental needs handled at one location.

Prevention is of primary importance when addressing the needs of your family, and we are happy to treat patients ages 8 and older. We want to make sure that you and your family receives the important preventive treatments that safeguard their oral health now and in the future. But family dentistry should also include a variety of services aside from routine exams, x-rays, and cleaning. These also include treatments like:

  • Deep cleanings
  • Fillings
  • Root canal therapy

Regular visits to our Manhattan Beach Dentist office include a thorough oral exam so that we can detect any changes or abnormalities. Professional cleanings with our dental hygienists are an important part of prevention, and their purpose is to remove plaque buildup that causes tooth decay and gum disease. Your dentist and hygienist will determine how frequently you should have a professional cleaning.

The American Dental Association recommends visits to your family dentist at least twice a year for checkups. Monitoring the oral health of your family on with a regular schedule of visits also allows us to build a relationship with your family and establish an ongoing oral health history. This history becomes an important tool in helping us identify potential problems before they become serious and difficult to treat.

Please contact our office to arrange a convenient appointment with our family dentist.
