What to Look For in a Family Dentist
Choosing a dentist for yourself is easy — you are looking for someone you get along with. But what happens when you are not the only person seeking care? Your children and partner are often the deciding factor when choosing a provider.
What if you found a provider who had all of the dental treatments you are looking for but could also care for all of the other members of your family?
You are looking for someone who offers all levels of treatment, like…
… High quality teeth whitening
Affording Care for the Family
Once you’ve selected a dentist for your family, it’s time to figure out how you will pay for that care. One way families try to avoid paying for dental care is by not taking their children to the dentist until after baby teeth have fallen out.
Please, don’t make this mistake.
Any money that you might have saved by avoiding the dentist will be spent as the dentist works to repair years of neglect. While baby teeth will fall out, they serve a vital role as placeholders for adult teeth. If teeth are lost too soon due to decay, if gum disease is allowed to take root, or if serious conditions are not caught until it’s too late, your child’s smile will show the consequences for the rest of their life.
Any money saved will be spent repairing teeth, providing orthodontic care, and trying to heal years of infection.
Instead, look into our payment options. We know how challenging it can be to pay out of pocket, so we work closely with our patients to help you find a financial plan that will work for you. We work with third party lenders and even offer in-house financing for major dental procedures.
