What Is Family Dentistry?
Family dentistry is a term that generally describes dental treatment that is primarily designed to address teeth and gum health for patients of virtually any age. Family dental care often goes hand-in-hand with preventive and “routine” dental procedures, such as teeth cleanings, fillings, periodontal (gum) care, and other treatments that are frequently performed for patients across the age spectrum. Routine procedures are also often referred to as “general dentistry” treatments; however, family dentistry typically includes an additional educational component which focuses on providing the informational tools necessary to help individuals of all ages establish habits that can help them maintain the best possible oral health for many years to come.
What Family Dental Care Treatments Does Sutra Dental Spa Provide?
Options that are often considered family dental care treatments include:
- Oral exams and dental cleanings
- Fluoride treatments
- Tooth-colored fillings

In addition to the full spectrum of general and preventive dental care options available at our practice, Sutra Dental Spa also offers an expansive selection of restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry procedures that can renew the function and appearance of the teeth.
How to Choose the Best Family Dentist
When selecting the right dentist for you and your family, it can be helpful to first identify the treatments and services that are available at the practice. A full and thorough range of treatment options is important since, for many individuals with families, convenience and efficiency can make all the difference. Dentists who offer an extensive selection of options, from family dental care to restorative and aesthetic dental treatments, can allow parents to receive care for themselves and their children in a single location, reducing the need to refer them to another dental office. Additionally, as you research the best family dentist for your needs, it’s good to evaluate the overall environment of the dentist’s office and the dental team’s approach to care. Particularly for younger patients, it is important that the practice is able to show that they provide a safe, friendly, and comforting atmosphere. Dental anxiety can be prevalent among children (and many adults, as well), so it is necessary for a good family dentist to take genuine steps designed to make patients feel comfortable. Before you make your decision, it’s also a good idea to ask the dentist about their experience treating children, and to read reviews of the dentist to see what other patients have to say. Finally, meeting with the prospective dentist in person can help you establish your level of comfort and confidence in their overall approach to care and whether you trust them to provide the services you and other members of your family need.
Here at Sutra Dental Spa, our entire dental team strives to make patients of all ages feel as relaxed as possible. Dr. Wu along with our hygienists, dental assistants, and support staff are committed to providing you and your family with the treatment and education necessary to maintain healthy teeth and gums and a sparkling smile long into the future!
