Smiles of Valparaiso: The Family Dentist Valparaiso Trusts

Doctors tend to specialize in medicine, which means that to maintain your family’s health, you probably need to see several physicians. Isn’t it nice to know that for almost all of your family’s dental health care, you only need one dentist? That’s the beauty of a family dentist. And the family dentist Valparaiso, IN, trusts with their family’s oral health is Smiles of Valparaiso & Associates.

As your family dentist, our practice encompasses preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry. When it comes to oral health, the adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” has probably never been more accurate. If we can prevent problems before you begin to notice symptoms, then we can likely save you the pain and expense of addressing problems later. With this in mind, and in keeping with the recommendation of the American Dental Association, we’d like to see you and everyone in your family twice each year for a checkup.

At these regularly scheduled appointments, we’ll clean your teeth and remove plaque, examine your gums for periodontal disease, and take x-rays when necessary. We’ll also examine your mouth for any soft tissue abnormalities that could be an early warning sign of oral cancer, and we’ll assess your head, neck, and jaw for symptoms of the temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMD.

Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry in Valparaiso

Few people get away without needing any restorative or cosmetic dentistry in their lives. At some point, a cavity develops, tooth chips or cracks, or teeth are missing. For those times, the family dentists at Smiles of Valparaiso have the experience and the most up-to-date techniques and technologies. We fill cavities with tooth-colored fillings, so your smile looks natural and is as strong as possible. Chips and cracks can be repaired with cosmetic bonding or porcelain veneers, depending on the severity of the damage. And there are dental implants, crowns and bridges, and dentures if you lose a tooth.
