At Ponderosa Family Dental, we take care of every grin in your crew. Regular checkups with us include professional dental cleanings, thorough exams, and even oral cancer screenings (for our grown-up family members). We follow the American Dental Association's recommendation of having professional cleaning or exam at least twice-yearly visits to prevent problems before they start.
Give your child a bright start with healthy teeth! Professional dental care for kids is the key to your child's oral health journey.
We recommend scheduling their first visit to their pediatric dentist by their first birthday or even when their first tooth erupts. These early appointments allow us to gently monitor their oral development and catch any potential issues early on.
Remember, developmental problems are much easier to address when they're small! By establishing a strong foundation for your child's oral health from the beginning, you're setting them up for a lifetime of confident smiles and healthy teeth.
Healthy gums are necessary for a brilliant smile, like a solid foundation for a beautiful house. With our approach to gum care, periodontal disease (the primary reason for tooth loss) can be prevented. Visit your experienced dentist, Dr. Lindsey, for advice on preventing periodontal disease, a very straightforward procedure.
At Ponderosa Family Dental, we offer preventive and periodontal care for gum issues. Through regular checkups and cleanings, we can identify any signs of gum issues early on, preventing them from escalating into more serious issues.
Are you waking up with jaw discomfort? These could be signs of teeth grinding, also known as bruxism. Grinding teeth can wear down teeth, cause jaw pain, and even disrupt your sleep.
At Ponderosa, we offer custom-made night guards that fit comfortably and protect your teeth while you rest. Acting as a gentle cushion, a night guard absorbs pressure and prevents your teeth from grinding together, helping you wake up feeling more refreshed.
If chewing feels difficult or you’re experiencing jaw pain, it could be a sign of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Your TMJ is the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull, allowing smooth movement when you eat, talk, and yawn. When this joint isn’t functioning properly, it can cause discomfort and limit your ability to enjoy everyday activities.
At Ponderosa Family Dental, we offer TMJ treatment designed to ease symptoms and help you return to a more comfortable, confident smile.
We know that many children — and even adults — feel anxious about the dentist. That’s why we’ve created an atmosphere that feels safe, relaxed, and reassuring. Aspen’s gentle presence plays a big role in that experience.
