Family Dentistry

We are glad that you are considering us to take care of your family dentistry needs! We look forward to making your family smile for years to come.

While many dental practices specialize in just pediatric dentistry or adult dental services, at Lockhart Dentistry we welcome every member of your family, from toddler to adult. We believe that your entire family deserves great oral health and fantastic teeth, but doesn’t need to go to several different dentists to get there!

Family Dentistry Services 

Although most people think of going to the dentist in terms of routine care like dental cleaning and dental exams, there is much more to consider. Cleaning and regular exams are the cornerstone of family and general dentistry, but there are many more services we offer.

While we are happy to see you every six months for your regular cleaning and exams, you may find yourself at some point needing extra care. No need to schedule multiple appointments with multiple dental offices to meet the needs or every member of your family.

Benefits of Family Dentistry

There are definitely some strong benefits to choosing a family dentist.

First and foremost, it can be a hassle to find a different dentist for each member of your family, dealing with different insurance claim processes and billing. At Lockhart Dentistry we simplify that process.

Second, by having the same dentist as their parents, children are much happier during their appointment. After all, seeing your parents at the same dentist means that there is nothing for kids to worry about!

Another reason is that having all of your family’s dental records in one place is a fantastic benefit. No more running around town to collect this information from several offices.

How to Get Started?

That’s the easy part – just give us a call! We’ll schedule appointments that are convenient to every member of your family, perform the first cleaning and exam, and then work closely with you to tailor a plan that fits each individual. Since every member of your family has unique needs, we’ll be sure to discuss with you options that work best to fit your plans and budget.

You have plenty to think about as you manage your family, it’s our goal to make taking care of your family’s oral health the easiest part of your day!

We look forward to seeing you and your family soon!
