A Note from Dr. Hojnowski:
We are a family dental practice that treats you and your family like a part of ours. One of the greatest benefits of seeing your family is that we can provide a deeper understanding of family health patterns. This allows us to tailor your family’s dental care to your needs based on genetic predispositions like crowding or decay from shared habits. This can also help to reduce anxiety, simplify scheduling, and provide lifelong care.

Common Questions About Family Dentistry
-
What is the main difference between a family dentist and a pediatric dentist?
-
A pediatric dentist focuses exclusively on children. Our family dentist center is trained to treat all ages, from children through seniors, providing lifelong care.
-
​
-
When should my child first visit the dentist?
-
We generally recommend the first visit by their first birthday, or within 6 months of their first tooth coming in. At this time, it is normal to expect a review of brushing and homecare habits, and an oral exam. The most important part is to get your child used to being in the dental chair to build a familiarity as they grow.

-
Do you offer same-day emergency dental care?
-
Yes, we usually maintain openings in our schedule daily for emergencies.
