General and Family Dentistry
in New Smyrna Beach, FL

Regular checkups and cleanings are the foundation of a healthy smile. Even if you brush and floss every day, plaque and tartar build up in places your toothbrush can't reach, and small problems like cavities or early gum disease often don't hurt until they've become bigger ones. Seeing a dentist regularly catches these issues early, when treatment is simpler and more comfortable.

At Atlantic Family Dentistry, we care for patients of every age, from routine cleanings to complex treatment, all under one roof in New Smyrna Beach. New patients are always welcome, and families can book their visits back-to-back to save time. Call us at (386) 426-2191 to schedule your next checkup.

‍

What Happens at a Checkup and Cleaning

Your routine visit usually includes:

• Professional cleaning: Your hygienist removes plaque and tartar, then polishes your teeth
• Dental exam: Your dentist checks each tooth for cavities, cracks, and wear, and looks at any existing fillings or crowns
• Gum check: We measure your gums to spot early signs of gum disease
• Oral cancer screening: We check your mouth, tongue, and throat for anything unusual, a quick step that can catch problems early
• X-rays, when needed: X-rays show what we can't see, like decay between teeth or problems below the gumline
• Personalized advice: We share tips for your brushing, flossing, and diet, and answer your questions

How Often Should You See the Dentist?

Most patients do best with a checkup and cleaning every six months. If you're prone to cavities or gum disease, your dentist may recommend coming in more often. We'll help you find the schedule that keeps your smile healthiest.

‍

Preventive Care for Every Age

Preventing problems is always easier than fixing them. Along with regular cleanings, we offer professional fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and dental sealants that protect the grooves of back teeth from decay, for children and adults alike.

If your gums bleed, feel tender, or have started to pull away from your teeth, you may need more than a regular cleaning. We treat gum disease with deep cleanings that remove buildup below the gumline and help your gums heal.

One Dental Home for the Whole Family

Juggling separate dentists for everyone in the house takes time you don't have. With us, you can book parents and kids back-to-back, keep your family's records in one place, and see the same trusted team year after year. Kids get gentle care that makes checkups something they don't dread. 

‍

Care That Grows with You

When you need more than a checkup, you don't have to go elsewhere. Our team provides tooth-colored fillings, same-day crowns, and root canal treatment to save damaged teeth. When teeth are missing, we offer dental implants and dentures.

If you'd like to improve the look of your smile, our cosmetic dentistry options include bonding, veneers, professional teeth whitening, and clear aligners, which can straighten teeth discreetly.

Nervous about the dentist? We offer sedation options to help you relax. And if something unexpected happens, like a toothache or a broken tooth, our emergency dental care can help you get relief fast.
