It means building a relationship with providers who remember your concerns, track your progress, and celebrate your victories along the way.

At White Pine Family Dental, we’ve created a practice where families can receive complete preventive dentistry services without juggling multiple appointments at different offices. Our approach combines proactive prevention with skilled restorative treatments and confidence-boosting cosmetic solutions. Whether you’re maintaining healthy teeth or addressing years of deferred care, our team provides personalized treatment plans designed around your schedule, budget, and goals.

What Preventive Dentistry Means for Your Family

Preventive dentistry goes beyond cleaning your teeth twice a year. It’s a comprehensive approach to oral health focusing on early detection, patient education, and building habits to keep problems from developing in the first place.

Regular dental exams give us the opportunity to catch small issues before they become painful, expensive problems. During these visits, we utilize advanced 3D imaging to provide you with a clear visual representation of what’s happening in your mouth. This technology helps you see what we see, making it easier to understand why we recommend certain treatments and how they’ll benefit your long-term oral health.

Building Strong Foundations Through Prevention

Many Lakeside Drive families tell us they wish they’d prioritized preventive care sooner. Fortunately, starting today still makes a significant difference.

Professional cleanings remove calcified plaque and tartar your toothbrush can’t reach, no matter how diligent your home care routine. These deposits harbor bacteria causing gum disease and tooth decay. Regular removal keeps your mouth healthy and your breath fresh. Our comprehensive preventive visits cost $87 and include thorough cleaning, examination, oral cancer screening, and any necessary X-rays.

Beyond cleanings, we offer protective treatments such as professional fluoride applications and dental sealants, which add an extra layer of defense against cavities. For patients who grind their teeth at night, we create custom night guards to prevent damage to tooth enamel and reduce jaw pain. Active families benefit from custom sports mouthguards that protect teeth during athletic activities.

Restoring Function When Problems Occur

Even with excellent preventive care, dental problems sometimes develop. Our restorative dentistry services repair damage and return your smile to full function.

Natural-Looking Fillings and Crown Restorations

Today’s composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These tooth-colored materials bond directly to tooth structure, providing strength and durability while remaining virtually invisible. Gone are the days of obvious silver fillings affecting your confidence.

When teeth experience more extensive damage from large cavities, cracks, or failed old fillings, dental crowns provide comprehensive protection. We craft each crown to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size. With proper care, quality porcelain crowns last 15 years or longer, making them a worthwhile investment in your oral health.

Replacing Missing Teeth With Modern Solutions

Missing teeth affect more than appearance. They impact your ability to chew comfortably, speak clearly, and maintain proper bite alignment. Remaining teeth may shift into empty spaces, creating new problems.

Dental implants provide the most durable and natural-looking solution for tooth replacement. These titanium posts integrate with your jawbone, providing stable anchors for replacement teeth. Many implants last 25 years or more with proper care. We also offer bridges and dentures, allowing us to recommend solutions matching your specific situation and budget.

Enhancing Confidence Through Cosmetic Treatments

A smile you’re proud to show changes how you interact with the world. Our cosmetic dentistry services help Lakeside Drive residents achieve the attractive, confident smile they’ve imagined.

Professional teeth whitening delivers dramatic results in a single 60-90 minute visit. Our safe, effective whitening systems remove years of staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and natural aging. You’ll leave our office with a noticeably brighter smile.

For minor cosmetic concerns, such as chips, small gaps, or discoloration, dental bonding offers same-day improvements using tooth-colored resin materials. This conservative treatment requires minimal tooth preparation while delivering immediate, natural-looking results.

Porcelain veneers offer comprehensive smile transformations for patients wanting more dramatic changes. These custom-crafted shells correct severe discoloration, gaps, uneven tooth shapes, and worn enamel. With proper maintenance, veneers provide beautiful results lasting many years.

Complete Care for Every Generation

Lakeside Drive families appreciate our ability to care for every family member under one roof. Our child dentistry services help young patients develop healthy habits and positive associations with dental visits through gentle, age-appropriate care.

Parents can schedule convenient back-to-back appointments for multiple family members, building lasting relationships with providers who know each person’s unique history, preferences, and needs. This continuity allows us to spot patterns and provide personalized recommendations for optimal outcomes.

Modern Technology Enhancing Patient Comfort

Advanced dental technology enables more accurate diagnoses, precise treatments, and improved patient comfort. We utilize digital imaging systems, minimally invasive techniques, and rigorous sterilization protocols to ensure the highest standards of care.

Many patients experience dental anxiety. We offer sedation dentistry options, including nitrous oxide and oral sedation, to ensure comfortable treatment experiences. Most patients find modern dental procedures far more comfortable than they expected when performed with proper technique and patient-focused attention.

Addressing Specialized Oral Health Needs

Beyond routine preventive and restorative care, we treat specialized concerns common among Lakeside Drive residents. Our gum disease treatment services help patients achieve healthy gums, which form the foundation for overall oral health.

We also address sleep apnea and related breathing disorders, significantly impacting quality of life and overall health. When unexpected dental emergencies arise, we provide prompt care to address pain and prevent further complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a routine preventative dental visit include?
  • A standard preventative visit typically includes a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums, oral cancer screening, a 3 dimensional scan of your mouth so you can see what we see (photos at 6,000 frames/second) and dental X-rays (usually once yearly). We also provide personalized oral hygiene advice and discuss any concerns you might have about your dental health. These regular visits help us catch potential issues early, saving you time, discomfort, and expense down the road.
  • For maximum benefit from your preventative appointment, maintain your regular oral hygiene routine but avoid whitening toothpastes for 2-3 days prior, as they can cause temporary sensitivity that might interfere with comprehensive examination. Make a list of any changes in your oral health, new medications, or concerns you’d like to discuss. If you experience dental anxiety, let us know in advance so we can implement comfort measures. Avoid consuming highly pigmented foods or beverages, which can temporarily stain teeth and make thorough examination more difficult, right before your appointment. Finally, bring your current insurance information and any questions about your home care routine.  Be sure to mention when your last cleaning was completed because your insurance may not pay if a frequency limitation is in effect.
  • Regular preventative dental care significantly reduces long-term dental expenses by addressing issues before they require costly treatments. Studies show that for every dollar spent on preventative dental care, patients save on emergency and restorative treatments. Additionally, preventative care helps identify signs of systemic health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis in their early stages.
  • Most dental insurance plans prioritize preventive care and typically cover routine services like regular checkups, professional cleanings, and annual X-rays at 80-100% with little to no out-of-pocket cost. However, coverage details vary significantly between insurance providers and specific plans.
