Finding a dentist in the Bay area is not always and easy task. There are some dentists who specialize in adult only care and some who only provide the basic preventative care. This can leave families who are looking for a well rounded practice in a bind. Many families search out a family dentistry office so that the majority of their dental care can take place within the same practice. This can help families out since they do not have to make trips or find a specialist that deals with dental work outside of preventative care. Many families prefer this option because they are comfortable with the dentist they are with and don’t want to have to go through the process of looking for a specialist who is in their dental network.
There are a lot of dentists who provide a variety of services. These services are:
Implant dentistry
This is a specialized field. It deals with the restoration or placement of dental implants. It is usually a root device that replaces a tooth or a group of teeth that are missing.
cosmetic dentist
This type of dentistry primarily focuses on the look of the teeth and gums and does not focus on their health. This would include procedures like whitening of the teeth to remove any stains.
invisalign
This is a form of braces. They are barely noticeable, and a much less intrusive procedure than standard wired braces. This type of brace can be removed for brushing, eating, and flossing. Results can be seen within six months to a year of having them fitted, which is much quicker than wired braces.
Before setting up an appointment, it is important to find out about the dentists, reputation, how long they have been in business, what fields of dentistry they are licensed in, and how often does the dentist and hygienists attend training’s. As a patient, you should feel 100% comfortable with the dentist and hygienist that you choose. Your oral health is just as important as your physical health. When considering dentists take the time to ask questions and review their practice.
