Do you have a family dentist? Although family dentistry and general dentistry are different, they are commonly confused. A general dentist doesn’t specialize in any field, while a family dentist provides full dental services and treatments to patients of all ages. Here at Dental Design in Gainesville, VA, Dr. Maggie Olano and Dr. Mariano A. Polack practice family dentistry—read on to learn what their services can do for your household.
The Benefits of Family Dentistry
So, why choose your Gainesville family dentist instead of a general dentist? Well, this is a great way for you and your children to go to the same dentist. Drs. Olano and Polack provide care to toddlers, seniors, and everyone between these age groups. This is time-efficient because you don't need to make several appointments at different locations and helps put your children at ease when they see their parent's comfortable behavior. This reduces stress and anxiety, giving your child a better chance of not forming a phobia.
Here are a few procedures that your family dentist provides:
- Dental implants consist of a titanium post that replaces missing tooth roots. This procedure improves a person's smile and reinforces your jawbone. The biocompatible titanium post doesn't undergo tissue rejection, giving it a 95% success rate, one of the most successful dental procedures.
- Veneers are wafer-thin porcelain appliances that bond to the surface of teeth to hide stains, cracks, fractures, and dental misalignments (e.g. crookedness, overbite, and underbite). This simple procedure improves your smile by replacing the protective dental enamel.
- Crowns are caps placed over teeth to hide flaws and strengthen teeth. The life-like porcelain appliances prevent a cracked tooth from worsening, prevent a loose filling from becoming completely dislocated, and hide stains caused by smoking, chewing tobacco, and certain medicines.
