Why Prioritize Family Dentistry?

Little cavities grow into big worries. Routine family dentistry stops problems early, teaches lifelong habits, and lets you budget for care instead of emergencies. At Arden Dental Group in Arden, Dr. Soojin Lee, Dr. Robert Huffman, and Dr. Meredith Clark combine gentle technique with time-saving technology, so even anxious patients relax in the chair. Convenient hours, an in-house membership plan, and personalized care you can trust, while our warm, smile-focused team turns checkups into neighborly catch-ups.

What’s Included in Family Dentistry?

  1. Routine Exams & Cleanings: Twice-yearly visits pair a gentle professional cleaning with a comprehensive checkup to spot concerns early and keep every smile sparkling.
  2. Protective Treatments: Fluoride treatments, oral health education, oral cancer screenings, tooth extractions, and dental sealants to form a cavity-fighting shield over vulnerable enamel, especially for kids and teens.
  3. Customized Restorations: Dental fillings and personalized crowns repair damaged teeth while seamlessly blending with natural enamel for confidence-boosting results. Dental implants, root canal therapy and bridges repair smile health and esthetics.
  4. Gum Health Therapy: Scaling, root planing, and personalized periodontal maintenance halt gum disease, freshen breath, and safeguard overall health.
  5. Sedation Solutions: Nitrous oxide or “laughing gas” sedation induces calm and relaxation and wears off quickly for anxious patients. Oral sedation is taken before a procedure to help you feel calm while chairside.
