Yes. If you’re pregnant or recently had a baby, finding a family dentist is one of the best decisions you can make. If your child receives routine dentistry from the time they’re young, they’re less likely to experience oral issues.
The Riverside Dental team’s knowledge and expertise can help keep you and your loved one’s smiles healthy and problem-free for years.
The Riverside Dental team offers various family dentistry services, including:
Riverside Dental has a 3D panoramic digital X-ray machine onsite. The machine takes detailed photos of the tooth roots, jaw, and alveolar bone (the bone in the upper jaw that anchors the teeth).
Digital X-rays can identify underlying issues and help guide treatment, including dental implant placement.
During an oral exam, your Riverside Dental provider examines your mouth, looking for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other issues. If they notice an abnormal growth, they can collect a sample and order additional testing.
Dental sealants are thin plastic linings applied to your teeth. The sealants block harmful bacteria from reaching your enamel, reducing the risk of cavities.
Orthodontics is a family dentistry subspecialty used to treat alignment issues, like crowded and crooked teeth or a misaligned jaw. The Riverside Dental team offers orthodontic treatment with Invisalign to teenagers and adults.
Laser dentistry uses highly concentrated light energy to treat issues like gum disease or plaque build-up. The Riverside Dental team offers treatment with hard and soft tissue dental lasers. Compared to traditional handheld dental tools, laser dentistry presents few risks and allows for quicker recovery.
Periodontal diseases, like gingivitis and periodontitis, are the leading cause of tooth loss. Treatments like scaling and root planing or antibiotic therapy can stop the infection from spreading and preserve your smile.
The Riverside Dental team tailors family dentistry to your and your loved one’s needs.
If you’re visiting Riverside Dental for the first time, arrive 15 minutes early so you can fill out new patient paperwork and other documents. Let the team know if you or your child have dental anxiety. The providers strive to provide a warm and relaxing experience.
