What Is Family Dentistry?
All licensed dentists in the United States must earn a DDS or DMD at an accredited university, then pass a national exam, as well as any state or regional exams. Only after this can a dental license be attained. The DMD and DDS degrees are essentially the same, but the name varies depending on the school at which it’s earned. All dentists must learn general dentistry, including family dentistry, as part of their training.
Family dentistry focuses on long-term dental care, as well as convenience and trust, for patients of all ages and from all walks of life. Note that “family dentistry” is not a speciality, requires no special certification, and can be provided by any dentist. However, not all dentists want to cater to patients of any age. Some don’t see children, while others shy away from special needs patients. At Dr. Brown’s office, we welcome and appreciate families, and we always provide five-star service to our patients.
Benefits of Choosing a Family Dentistry Practice
If family dentistry is not a specialty, why would it matter if you chose a general dentist, rather than a general dentist who identifies as a family dentist? Great question!
Consistent Care from a Dentist Who Knows Your History
Not only is our team of talented dentists invested in building patient relationships, but we’re also focused on preventing dental problems. We want your family to choose the right home care products, learn how to effectively brush and floss, and consume a diet that promotes good oral and overall health. We partner with our patients, and by understanding their history, we can easily detect changes in oral health over time. Our dentists want to be your go-to resource for dental health, for every member of your family.
Convenience for Busy Naperville Households
Instead of going to an adult dentist for your parents, spouse, and yourself, then a children’s dentist for the kids, and maybe an orthodontist as well, we offer preventive, general, restorative, prosthetic, and emergency dental care. You can schedule your and your family members’ appointments consecutively, thereby saving time–and who isn’t excited about saving time? We understand that our families are insanely busy with school, work, hobbies, sports, volunteer pursuits, and more. Because of this, we aim to make dental care as accessible and convenient as possible, and appointments as concise as possible, because your time is an irreplaceable commodity.
A Comfortable Experience for Anxious Patients
If you struggle with dental anxiety, fear, or phobia, or if you find sitting in the dental chair with your mouth open uncomfortable, ask about sedation dentistry. We provide various levels of sedation when clinically appropriate, ensuring patient comfort while maintaining the highest standards of safety.
Dental Services to Support Each Smile You Love
We provide comprehensive oral care to our patients. This includes but is not limited to:
- Preventive & General Dentistry
- Emergency Dentistry
- Restorative & Cosmetic Solutions
- Advanced Comfort & Wellness Options
