4 Things You Should Know About Family Dentists<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a great dentist in the Santa Cruz area, you must consider choosing a family dentist. Family dentists offer many types of treatments and have many advantages.<\/p>\n

Check out these four things you may not know about a family dentist.<\/p>\n

1. They See Patients of All Ages<\/span><\/h2>\n

Get your whole family\u2019s treatments done in one location with Landmark Dental family dentist. It\u2019s right there in the name: \u201cfamily\u201d dentist, so it shouldn\u2019t be a surprise that a family dentist like Landmark Dental in Santa Cruz<\/a> sees patients of all ages. You don\u2019t have to take your child to a pediatric dentist, your parents to a geriatric dentist and yourself to a general dentist. Landmark offers services targeted at different age groups, such as sealants for children.<\/p>\n

The benefits of choosing one family dentist for your entire family are convenience and comfort. You can schedule all your cleanings in lumped appointments, so you don\u2019t have to miss work on more than one day. Also, the dentist gets to know you and your family better, which makes everyone a little more comfortable about going to the dentist.<\/p>\n

2. Many Offer Major Services <\/span><\/h2>\n

You may think that a family dentist can\u2019t offer much more than cleanings, X-rays and yearly exams. While they do offer these important services, that\u2019s not all they offer. Many family dentists also offer major services you wouldn\u2019t expect. Many offer services such as extraction, dental bridge and dental crowns, so you don\u2019t have to go see a specialist.<\/p>\n

They may even offer more specialized services<\/a>. For example, at Landmark Dental Group, you can have your root canal therapy performed without having to go see an endodontist<\/a>. This is especially important because people tend to fear root canals. However, if you are able to have yours performed by your regular dentist, you know what to expect and feel less anxious than if you have to see a specialist you don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

3. They Typically Offer Cosmetic Services<\/span><\/h2>\n

Cosmetic dentistry is exploding. To keep up with the demand, more and more general dentists are learning these valuable skills. So it\u2019s no wonder so many family dentists offer cosmetic services. It isn\u2019t surprising to find that a dentist provides treatments like tooth whitening, porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers and tooth-colored fillings.<\/p>\n

Some dentists, however, go above and beyond to ensure their patients get a gorgeous smile without having to see a specialist. At Landmark Dental Group, if you have missing teeth, you don\u2019t have to choose between a bridge or dentures because they offer dental implants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. They\u2019ll Give You a Healthy, Beautiful Smile<\/span><\/h2>\n

The best thing about family dentists, however, is that they are dedicated to give you a smile you want. Of course, this starts with a healthy foundation of strong teeth. Therefore, your dentist will work with you to create a treatment plan that will get your teeth healthy with cleanings, fillings, root planing and scaling, etc. If you already have a healthy smile, your dentist will help you keep it that way.<\/p>\n

For many people, however, having a healthy smile isn\u2019t enough, but a dentist who only focuses on cosmetic dentistry may not be the best option. When you choose a dentist who also wants to keep your smile healthy, you\u2019ll get a treatment plan that is perfect for improving the look of your smile without impacting the health.<\/p>\n

Choose a dentist that can treat your whole family and provide a wide range of services. You\u2019ll get a healthy, beautiful smile. For more information, contact Landmark Dental Group today<\/a>.<\/p>\n
