Preventative Dental Care

At Family Dental Center, we believe in the power of preventative dental care to keep your smile healthy and beautiful for a lifetime. Our experienced team of dental professionals is dedicated to providing top-notch general and family dentistry services in the Greater Delaware area.

Keep your smile

happy and healthy

General dentistry encompasses a wide range of dental services focused on maintaining your oral health and preventing dental issues. You can avoid potential complications, such as cavities and gum disease, by prioritizing regular dental checkups and cleanings.

Preventative Dental Treatments

Preventative dental care is the cornerstone of our practice, ensuring you maintain a healthy smile. Whether you’re young or young at heart, our comprehensive dental care is tailored to meet every family member’s needs.

Comprehensive Dental Exams

Our comprehensive checkups go beyond the surface. We utilize digital X-rays, intraoral photos, and a 3D oral health scan to assess your dental health. Our approach lets us detect issues early on and create treatment plans tailored to your needs.

Preventative Teeth Cleanings

Regular dental cleanings are essential for keeping teeth and gums in optimal condition. Our gentle and effective preventative cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, and our fluoride treatments provide an added layer of protection against cavities.

Deep

Cleanings

For patients with signs of gum disease or more advanced plaque buildup, our deep cleaning and gum therapy services help restore your oral health. Our team offers scaling, root planing, and laser gum therapy to treat periodontal issues effectively.

Sealants

Looking for a pain-free way to prevent cavities? Our sealant treatments protect the biting surfaces of your teeth, reducing the risk of decay without any drilling involved.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Our comprehensive oral cancer screenings utilize advanced technology, including UV light detection with Oral ID, to identify suspicious spots in your mouth, tongue, and throat

Removable Appliances

Whether you need to keep your teeth from grinding while you sleep or maintain your newly straightened smile, our practice offers a range of removable appliances, such as mouth guards and retainers, to protect your smile and keep it looking its best.

What a great experience! Shouts out to the great staff at Family Dental Center of Bear, New Castle! Special Highlights to the receptionist (though, i didn't get her name) Kayla, Barbara and Dr Ben for making my visit very pleasant. I am looking forward to my next appointment

Bear

I needed a repair on my dentures and I dropped them off. Not only did they do the repair, but they tightened up the entire frame. They fit like brand new. They went above and beyond my expectations to solve my problem. One of the best Dentist I’ve ever had.

Bear

Everyone was so nice and made me feel very comfortable even though I was totally embarrassed about the way my teeth looked. The front desk lady patiently explained to me cost and payment options she answered all my questions. I can’t wait to get started on my new smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions about dental financing

Do you treat children?

Yes, we welcome patients of all ages, including children. Our team ensures every visit is gentle, positive, and stress-free. We focus on creating healthy habits early for lifelong oral health.

Why do you recommend deep cleanings?

Deep cleanings help treat and prevent gum disease by removing bacteria below the gumline. They promote healthier gums and stronger teeth. Regular deep cleanings also reduce the risk of tooth loss over time.

How often should I schedule a dental checkup?

We recommend visiting every six months for routine exams and cleanings. Regular visits allow us to detect issues early and prevent costly treatments later. Your dentist may suggest more frequent visits if needed.

Do I need X-rays at every visit?

Not always. X-rays are taken based on your dental history and current needs. They help us spot hidden problems, ensuring your teeth and gums stay healthy.

What are sealants, and do I need them?

Sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They help prevent cavities, especially in children and teens. This quick, painless treatment keeps teeth healthier for longer.
