    The Advantages of a Dental Center

    Dental centers have different dental specialists practicing in the same clinic. This approach can provide additional insight into dental issues, save time, and potentially be more cost-effective. Difficult aesthetic and functional dental problems typically involve several dentistry fields. Receiving treatment at a dental center that offers various services can streamline this process. Additionally, patients with complex medical issues can benefit from a specialized dental team trained on how a patient’s medical condition can affect their dental health.

    Often, dental centers can have several dentists covering one area. Patients who do not mind seeing a different dentist every appointment may want to consider a dental center. A dental center also has the advantage of being able to offer newer technology to its patients, which can be cost-prohibitive for a smaller dental office. Another advantage of dental centers is the increased ability to treat patients with special needs, including patients with hearing issues or developmental or physical disabilities.

    Family Services in One Location

    Having family services in one location can prevent the need for multiple dental facilities for each family member’s oral health needs. Dental centers can provide services to all members of the family, regardless of age. Since dental centers offer a wider range of treatment options, families with children, teens, and adults can receive the dental care they need.

    Dental history can also be hard to track when a family uses multiple providers at different locations. A dental center can make it easier to monitor each patient and keep track of dental records. Having family services at one location allows families to save time and reduce the stress of traveling to different places.

    Dental Center Procedures

    Dental centers offer preventative, general, and specialty dentistry services in one convenient location. One major advantage of dental centers is their ability to manage complex dental treatments that other offices may have to send elsewhere. This can save patients considerable time and stress resulting from visiting different dental providers.

    Some of the services provided can include preventative dentistry, such as professional teeth cleanings and X-rays. Other possible services include fillings, extractions, root canals, cosmetic dentistry, including crowns, teeth whitening, extractions, dentures, and even orthodontics. Patients should contact our team to learn more about the available treatment options.

    Benefits of a Multi-Dentist Office

    Most dentists treat patients during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, with perhaps a few evening or weekend hours. A dental center can offer more non-traditional appointment hours since several dentists work together to cover patient appointments. This can be a significant help to busy people or families who do not have a lot of extra time to spare.

    Not only can a dental center offer expanded hours, but it is also better equipped to handle emergency patients. The same dental team can treat patients in emergencies and have access to all the necessary patient records at a dental center. This can make a stressful emergency much more manageable for both patients and their families.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q. How often should I have a dental exam?

    A. Having a dental exam twice a year is a good rule of thumb for many people. However, every person has their own unique needs and will also depend on their oral hygiene, habits, and individual medical conditions. Some people will only need to visit the dentist once or twice are year, while others may need to go more often.

    Q. What ages can benefit from a dental center?

    A. Dental centers are equipped to handle a variety of dental needs for the entire family. This means children to older adults can benefit from treatment at a dental center. Since multiple dentists are on-site, dental centers can provide treatments for patients of varying ages and needs.

    Q. What is preventative dental care?

    A. Preventative dental care is dental care that helps maintain good oral health. This practice involves education, treatment, and maintaining teeth and gums. The services include routine oral exams, X-rays, cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments.

    Q. What is cosmetic dental care?

    A. Cosmetic dental care refers to dental work that improves the appearance of teeth, gums, and bite. It primarily focuses on improving dental aesthetics through color, position, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile appearance. Common cosmetic dental procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, bondings, and more.

    Q. What is professional teeth cleaning?

    A. Professional teeth cleanings involve using a scaler to get rid of plaque and tartar around the gum line and between teeth. Once the teeth are completely tartar-free, the hygienist will brush them with a high-powered electric brush to deep clean and remove any tartar left behind. The hygienist will also floss the teeth thoroughly and apply a fluoride treatment to protect teeth against cavities.
