Whether you want to whiten your smile, reduce your cavity risk or repair damage to your teeth, a visit to the family dentist can help you 
improve your smile. Eastpointe, MI, dentist Dr. Peter Jost explains how family dentistry can help you.
Quality care for the entire family
Family dentists don't just treat one age group or specialize in a particular type of dental problem. They care for patients of all ages and are trained to diagnose and treat dental issues that may affect their patients at any point in their lives. Convenience is one of the most attractive benefits of family dentistry. In fact, you can schedule a group checkup for your entire family, rather than individual appointments spread throughout the year.
The services you need
Family dentists offer all of the services you need to look your best and maintain good oral health, including:
- Checkups and Cleanings: During your regular visits to our Eastpointe office, you'll receive a complete examination and a cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. If cavities or other issues are detected during your visit, we'll recommend an appropriate treatment.
- Sealants: Sealants prevent cavities in your child's pre-molars and molars. They're applied soon after these permanent teeth erupt and last as long as 10 years.
- Gum Disease Treatment: Gum disease treatment can destroy your gum tissue and even lead to the loss of teeth. Family dentists offer deep cleanings and other treatments that will help restore the health of your gums.
- Fillings: Fillings restore areas of teeth damaged by tooth decay.
- Root Canal Therapy: Tooth-saving root canal therapy eliminates infections and inflammation in your tooth pulp by removing the pulp and replacing it with a flexible filling.
- Crowns: Hollow crowns slip over teeth are used to support fragile teeth, restore damage, change the shape or length of teeth, and also conceal flaws.
- Veneers: Veneers also hide imperfections and change the shape and length of teeth, but these thin porcelain shells are only attached to the fronts of teeth.
- Teeth Whitening: If you're embarrassed by your dull, stained smile, teeth whitening can help. A quick one-hour treatment removes stains caused by aging, smoking, and foods and beverages, leaving your smile whiter and brighter.
- Tooth Restoration: If you've lost one or more teeth, you may want to consider filling the gaps in your smile with bridges, dentures, dental implants or implant-supported dentures.
Family dentistry can help you keep your smile strong and healthy. If you're concerned about a toothache or other dental issue, schedule an appointment with Dr. Peter Jost in Eastpointe, MI, by calling (586) 771-1460 to schedule an appointment.
