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.
Our other services include:
- General Dentistry – Comprehensive dental exams, cleanings, dry mouth treatment, and gum care help every family member maintain optimal oral health.
- Cosmetic Dentistry – Enhance the appearance of your smile with teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, teeth contouring, gum reshaping, gum recession treatment, and smile makeovers.
- Restorative Dentistry – Fix dental damage and replace missing teeth with fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures. We can make many restorations in-house with our CEREC machine. You can get your crown or other restoration in just one visit!
- Dental Implants – Restore your missing teeth with dental implants for improved functionality and jawbone health. We offer full-arch replacement solutions using implants.
- Oral Surgery – Surgical procedures may be needed to prepare for implants, reduce overcrowding, or improve oral health.
- Orthodontics – We have a wide range of solutions to correct alignment issues, including convenient clear aligners. Your dentist will discuss which is ideal for you or your child.
