What Is Family Dentistry?
Family dentistry is general dental care for patients of every age. Instead of visiting one office for your child and another for yourself, your whole household sees the same trusted team for Montgomery family dental care. That means one set of records, one number to call, and dentists who get to know your family's history and goals over the years.
Because we care for patients at every stage of life, we can spot patterns early, such as a tendency toward cavities or crowding that runs in the family, and help you plan ahead.
Montgomery Family Dental Care for Every Stage of Life
Kids
Early visits help children feel at ease in the dental chair and build habits that last. We offer gentle cleanings and exams, dental sealants to protect back teeth from decay, and simple brushing and flossing tips for home. Because kids may need X-rays a little more often, we'll keep a close eye on their dental development.
Teens
The teen years bring new needs, from sports to straightening. We provide personalized mouth guards for young athletes, guidance on wisdom teeth removal, and orthodontic care, including Invisalign clear aligners. Invisalign® is a popular choice for teens who want straighter teeth without metal brackets and wires.
Adults
Busy parents deserve care, too. Along with routine cleanings and exams, we offer restorative treatments such as fillings, crowns, and root canals, as well as cosmetic options like teeth whitening and porcelain veneers. If you've thought about straightening your own smile, Invisalign is a discreet option for adults as well.
Older Adults
Dental needs change with age. We provide periodontal (gum) care, oral cancer screenings, dentures, and dental implants to help older family members eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child first see a dentist?
The American Dental Association recommends a first visit within six months of the first tooth or by your child's first birthday. Early visits let us check development and help your child get comfortable with the dentist.
How often should my family visit the dentist?
Most children and adults should come in every six months for a cleaning and exam. Some patients, such as those with gum disease or a higher risk of cavities, may benefit from more frequent visits.
Do you see patients of all ages?
Yes! We're happily accepting new patients of all ages, from young children to grandparents. Your whole family can see one trusted team for cleanings, exams, and the care each person needs.
Do you accept dental insurance?
We file all dental insurance for our patients. If you don't have insurance, ask about our in-house savings plan or flexible financing through CareCredit and Sunbit.
Is Invisalign a good option for teens?
For many teens, yes. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that are nearly invisible and easy to take out for meals, sports, and brushing. During a consultation, we'll check whether your teen's bite is a good fit for clear aligners.
What should I do if someone in my family has a dental emergency?
Call our office at (334) 279-1166 as soon as possible. We offer emergency appointments for new and existing patients, whether it's a sudden toothache, a chipped or broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth.
