There are a lot of dentists in Long Island. They have different focuses and try to appeal to patients of varying needs and preferences. Here at Sunrise Dental Service located in Bohemia, we choose to take a family-oriented approach to oral care. We welcome patients of virtually all ages to visit us! What are some of the advantages you can enjoy when you visit a family dentist? This blog post discusses a few.

Convenience

When it is time for everyone in your family to attend a checkup and cleaning, it could be exceedingly inconvenient to travel to multiple dental offices. In our family practice, you can bring everyone here to enjoy top-quality care in a familiar and friendly environment.

Meaningful Relationships

When everyone in the family has the same dentist, it can be easier to establish meaningful and trusting relationships with the dental team members. Dr. Makadia and our team place a high value on taking enough time to understand the needs of each individual patient, whether they are young, elderly, or somewhere in between.

Set an Example for Children

Kids can naturally be a bit nervous when it comes to dental care. We often find that when Mom and Dad set a good example of attending checkups and cleanings, kids are likely to follow suit.

A Wide Variety of Services in One Location

Dental specialists are certainly important, and our office facilitates most types of services under the same roof. Dr. Makadia has spent decades refining his skills in various areas of oral care. You can rely on us to care for the majority of your family’s dental needs in one convenient location. (Of course, if we ever determine that you would benefit from a specialist’s care for some unique situation, we will not hesitate to make an appropriate referral.)

Effective Management of Family Records

Do things like gum disease or weak dental enamel run in your family? What about systemic health problems that might affect your smile, such as diabetes? You might also have some habits in common that have a bearing on your oral health. When your family comes to visit us, we will do our best to manage your records so we can watch out for issues that might affect both you and your loved ones. This helps us to provide the highest quality of care possible.

Visiting a family dentist can be beneficial for everyone in your household! To learn more about how we might be able to serve you, call our Bohemia, Long Island office.
