What is family dentistry?

What services does family dentistry provide?

At Hardy Webster Dental, the team offers various family dentistry services, including:

Comprehensive oral exams (COE)

A COE assesses your oral health. Your dentist checks each area of your mouth, including your teeth, gums, tongue, and inner cheeks. They look for potential problems, such as cavities, gum disease, or abnormal growth.

Teeth cleaning

Teeth cleaning removes plaque –– a mixture of saliva, bacteria, and food particles –– from your teeth and beneath your gums. You should schedule professional teeth cleaning twice a year, even if you regularly brush and floss. That’s because plaque builds up in hard-to-reach areas that require removal with special tools.

Digital X-rays

X-rays use digital sensors and other advanced technologies to capture images of your tooth roots, alveolar bone (the bone that anchors your teeth), and jaw. They diagnose problems invisible to the eye, such as damage to the tooth pulp or severe decay.

Cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry uses whitening treatments and restorations to improve your smile’s appearance. At Hardy Webster Dental, the team offers various cosmetic services, including teeth whitening, dental implants, and smile makeovers.

Braces

Braces are orthodontic appliances bonded to the front of your teeth. They have brackets, archwires, and rubber bands that place mild pressure on your jaw and teeth. Over time, the pressure moves your teeth into the optimal position, resulting in a beautiful and balanced smile.

Fluoride treatment

Fluoride treatment uses a naturally occurring mineral (fluoride) to strengthen your tooth enamel. Routine fluoride treatments can support your enamel and reduce the risk of cavities.

How often should I schedule a family dental appointment?

The Hardy Webster Dental team recommends scheduling a dental appointment every six months, regardless of age. Even if you brush and floss regularly, problems may arise. Routine oral exams, digital X-rays, and preventive teeth cleaning can keep your smile in optimal condition for years to come.
