Does it seem as if you're busier than ever before? Thanks to your commute, long work hours and the kids' activities, you may have little free time. Luckily, choosing one dentist for your family can give you a little extra time and help you ensure that your entire group receives excellent dental care. Our Peachtree City, GA, general family dentist, Dr. James Roberts of Brilliant Smiles Dental, shares a few reasons you may want to consider choosing a family dentist.

You waste too many hours sitting in the car already

Living in Peachtree City has many benefits, ranging from the warm climate to the beautiful parks. Unfortunately, traffic free roads aren't among the advantages of living in the area. In fact, Atlanta-area commuters have the fourth worst commute in the country, according to INRIX, a traffic and navigation app. If you would like to spend fewer hours stuck in your car, it makes sense to switch to general family dentist. When you make a group appointment, you'll only need to make one visit to the dentist's office, instead of three or four trips to dentists scattered around Peachtree City.

You need a dentist with the expertise to treat everyone in your family

Family dentists are familiar with the issues that affect your teeth and mouth at every stage in your life. They have the training needed to spot potential problems with the growth or development of your child's teeth and jaw, but can also provide the treatments the adults in the family need to restore, repair or enhance their smiles.

In addition to fillings, cleanings and checkups, general family dentists provide a variety of dental treatments, including bonding, crowns and bridges, veneers, teeth whitening, dentures, dental implants, root canal therapy and dental implants. They also perform oral health screenings that detect oral cancer or signs of diseases that can affect your general health.

You want to visit a dental practice with nice people

Let's face it, everyone isn't cut out to work with patients. If you've ever visited a doctor or dentist and been disappointed with the uncaring treatment you received, you'll appreciate the friendly, compassionate care your family dentist and his staff provide. Whether your child feels a little timid about sitting in the dental chair, or you're suffering from an excruciating toothache, the staff will take the time to make you feel relaxed and comfortable before they begin your checkup or treatment.
