Family Dentistry

When your child visits a dentist everyone in the family sees, it gives them more confidence about their treatment. We recommend you bring your child to their first appointment starting at 1 year old.

Dr. Matt Packard and Dr. Joy will ensure your child has an enjoyable time. They can watch a TV that shows cartoons and select a prize at the end of their visit. We'll start with easy checkups. Then we'll move on to more traditional cleanings and exams.

We offer preventive orthodontics, including space maintainers, to help children avoid alignment problems. We also provide dentofacial orthopedics that encourage proper jaw development.

There's no need to feel nervous about your treatments. We have sedation options available, including kid-friendly laughing gas.

We provide general dentistry with comprehensive dental exams, cleanings, dry mouth treatment, and gum care to help every family member maintain optimal oral health.

Enhance the appearance of your smile with cosmetic dentistry like teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, teeth contouring, gum reshaping, and gum recession treatment.

Fix dental damage and replace missing teeth with restorative dentistry including fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures. We can make many restorations in-house with our CEREC machine, so you can get your crown or other restoration in just one visit.

We also offer dental implants, oral surgery, orthodontics with convenient clear aligners, and TMJ treatment with custom oral appliances or Botox.
