Family Dentistry
Personalized Dental Care For The Whole Family
As family dentists, Doctors Melissa and Randall work with children, adults and geriatrics—making dental care for the entire family conveniently available all under one roof. Our family dentistry services address a broad spectrum of dental needs to enhance and restore your smile’s health.
Why Family Dentistry?
Family dentists undergo specialized training in order to treat people of all ages. One advantage of seeing a family dentist is that everyone in your family can receive dental care of all kinds in the same place. Another advantage to a family dentistry practice is that there is no need to find a separate pediatric dentist that your child will eventually grow out of. At Stewart Dental Group, we grow with you!
Our Family Dentistry Services
Our experienced dentists and caring team strive to provide the highest-quality of family dentistry services in the Charlotte area. We offer the following services for our patients and their families:
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings repair teeth that are affected by tooth decay, and they are one of the most common services that we offer. Most people have around three dental fillings. However, it is not uncommon for a person to have multiple dental fillings. There are several different types of materials used to create fillings, and our experienced dentists will help you choose the best fit for your lifestyle.
Mouth Guards
Mouth guards act as a protective shield for the mouth. The device fits over the top front teeth, providing padding and protection from common injuries that occur while playing sports. Correctly and consistently wearing a mouth guard while participating in a sport helps prevent tooth trauma from a fall, body contact or another incident that inevitably comes with playing a sport. At Stewart Dental Group in Charlotte, NC, we fit young and adult athletes alike with custom-fit mouth guards that form perfectly to the patient’s smile.
Root Canals
When tooth decay reaches the pulp of a tooth and becomes infected, we do everything we can to save the tooth. This involves performing a root canal on the tooth to prevent needing to extract it, and unnecessary extractions of permanent teeth can lead to problems with the jaw and your overall oral health. At Stewart Dental Group, we help patients with infected teeth safely and comfortably receive the care they need to save their teeth.
Tooth Extraction
Our dentists prioritize preserving the teeth whenever possible. Pulling unnecessary teeth can cause bone loss in the jaw, affecting the shape of your face and negatively impacting your overall oral health. Sometimes, extraction is the best option. If this is the case, Dr. Randall and Melissa Stewart will remove the affected tooth or teeth to relieve pain, create space or improve the patient’s dental health.
Pediatric Dentistry
At Stewart Dental Group, we believe that good dental habits start early. Your child’s first appointment should take place by the time they turn one year old. From there, your child should visit us every six months for regular cleanings and monitoring. Pediatric dental services center on preventive care that includes cavity prevention, fluoride treatments and dental fillings. Routine dental care from infancy on helps create strong, healthy teeth for a lifetime.
