Family dentistry provides complete oral health care to people of all ages.
Finding a family dentist by the time your child turns 1 (or gets their first baby tooth) can significantly reduce their risk of cavities and gum disease. What’s more, it emphasizes the importance of preventive care and may even help reduce dental anxiety.
At Urbandale Smiles, the dentists offer various family dentistry services, including:
Your dentist checks your teeth, gums, and tongue for potential problems during an oral exam. They use a handheld mirror and light to see hard-to-reach areas between your teeth and at the back of your mouth.
During professional teeth cleaning, a dental hygienist uses a tool called a scaler to carefully remove plaque from beneath your gums and the surfaces of your teeth. Afterward, they polish and floss your teeth. Try to schedule professional teeth cleaning twice a year, even if you brush and floss daily.
Fluoride treatment reduces the risk of tooth decay. During treatment, your dentist applies a fluoride solution to your tooth enamel. The procedure is safe, effective, and takes less than an hour.
Periodontics treats gum disease. At Urbandale Smiles, the dentists specialize in periodontal care, offering scaling, root planing, and antibiotic therapy.
Emergency dentistry provides treatment for oral health problems that require immediate care. Urbandale Smiles always sets aside time for same-day emergency dental consultations.
Restorative dentistry is an oral health subspecialty that treats damaged or severely decaying teeth. Various restorations can transform your smile, including crowns, bridges, and dental veneers.
Invisalign uses removable plastic aligners to straighten your teeth and/or jaw. It’s a faster (and more discreet) alternative to orthodontic treatment with metal braces.
