Why choose a family dentist?

29th July 2022 by Amy Greenburg 3 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/dental-clinic-in-singapore-orthodontic-root-canal-treatment-family-dentists/

If you’re seeking care for everyone under your roof, you may want to consider a family dentist that can look after parents and kids alike. But, it’s about a lot more than just convenience! Here are four reasons why choosing a family dental clinic in Singapore can be worthwhile, and where you can go to get quality care for your entire crew – from root canal treatment and dental surgery to teeth whitening and orthodontic care.

The benefits of choosing a family dental clinic in Singapore

Juggling the health and needs of your entire family can be a full-time job. Choosing a family dentist to look after your entire brood can certainly come in handy. But, while the ease of scheduling everyone’s cleanings on the same day is certainly a plus, there are plenty of other perks that come with choosing a family dental practice, too, says the team at Smileworks Dental. They offer services for all ages across three dental clinics in Singapore, including Paragon on Orchard Road.

With over two decades of experience treating patients of all ages, the team has seen firsthand just how beneficial choosing a family dental clinic can be for many reasons.

#1 A more comprehensive range of services

One of the great things about choosing a family dental clinic is that it’s likely to have a wider range of services and treatments. This is certainly the case at Smileworks Dental, who provide everything from general check-ups and cleanings to orthodontic treatment to cosmetic dentistry, including teeth whitening and veneers.

In fact, this dental clinic in Singapore has even got dedicated specialist centres for endodontic treatments and surgeries. So, in addition to general and paediatric dentistry and orthodontic services, you can get specialty care at one of the adjacent Paragon-based centres.

The Smileworks Endodontic Lounge focuses exclusively on root canal treatment and dental emergencies. Whether you require root canal treatment or surgery, or repair for cracked teeth or dental trauma, endodontist Dr Huang Shuyan and the team of specialist and dental nurses are trained and well-equipped to handle even the most complex cases.

The Smileworks Surgical Suite specialises in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Led by oral maxillofacial surgeons Dr William Lim and Dr Chan Wai Seng, the team of specialists provide treatment for disease and injuries that affect the head, neck, face, jaw and teeth. This includes anything from oral surgeries, extractions and wisdom tooth procedures to implant and bone grafting surgery, cyst and growth removal, deformity correction and treatment for TMJ disorders.

#2 Streamlined oral care for your family

With so many specialists and services together in one dental clinic, you’ll relish the ease of getting your teeth whitened while your teen gets fitted for his mouthguard. And hubby can get root canal treatment in the suite next door at the same time!

The-whole family can even straighten their smiles all at once. Smileworks’ orthodontic specialists see patients both young and old, and have orthodontic solutions to suit every lifestyle. This includes everything from Invisalign and other clear aligner systems to ceramic braces, traditional metal ones and other orthodontic appliances.

#3 The chance to build a long-term, trustworthy relationship

Don’t underestimate the value of a great rapport with your dentist. A family dentist gets to know you and your family history, and should be someone you feel comfortable with when asking questions. Developing a trusted bond can even help in understanding the patient and making the most informed decisions about treatments accordingly. 

Also, having a dentist in Singapore who sees your children as they grow can go a long way in preventive care. Familiarity with your family’s oral history can make it easier for a dentist to know what to keep an eye on – your predisposition to cavities, for instance, or catching those gum problems from your husband’s side before they strike.

#4 Help with easing dental anxieties

Having a family dentist builds familiarity and predicability, which is especially important in children. Going to the dentist together can even be a great way to get little ones on-board and comfortable with visiting the dentist early on. If they feel comfortable in the dentist’s chair, they won’t be afraid to come back for routine checks in the future.

Of course, a calm but kid-friendly environment helps too. At Smileworks, young patients can expect colourful treatment rooms, post-exam prizes and gentle treatment from the children’s dentistry team. Kids are slowly introduced to the dentist’s chair, as well as each instrument before it’s used.
