Family Dentistry for Every Stage of Life
At Modern Dental, we believe great dental care should feel personal, comfortable, and tailored to you. Our approach to family dentistry is simple: we treat people, not just teeth.

Family Dentistry Services We Offer
Routine Cleanings & Exams
Regular visits help keep your smile bright, healthy, and strong. We focus on prevention and early detection to avoid bigger issues later.
Digital X-Rays & 3D Imaging
We use low-dose digital technology to get the clearest, safest view of your oral health — including areas that can’t be seen with the naked eye.
Gum Health & Periodontal Care
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth. We check for early signs of gum disease and provide personalized treatments to protect your long-term oral and overall health.
Fluoride & Sealants (As Needed)
Conservative, preventive care to help strengthen teeth and reduce the risk of decay.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Natural-looking, biocompatible fillings that blend seamlessly and support your long-term health.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Every exam includes a thorough head, neck, and oral cancer screening — something many patients have never experienced at previous offices.
Oral Appliances
We offer custom mouthguards, nightguards, and appliances for clenching, grinding, snoring, and sleep apnea.
Our goal is to support your smile during every season of life.
A Dental Home You’ll Feel Comfortable In
Modern Dental is designed to feel different — calming, warm, and thoughtfully modern. From overhead entertainment TVs and noise-cancelling headphones to weighted blankets and warm neck pillows, we want every visit to feel relaxed and reassuring.
If you’ve had stressful dental experiences in the past, you’ll find that our gentle approach and supportive team can make dentistry feel manageable again.
