Brown and Baran Family Dentistry - General dentist in Seaford, DE

Drs. Brown and Baran work to meet your needs and deliver your desired results. We provide treatment to patients of all ages; we can help young children learn proper dental hygiene, or place dentures in seniors who have lost many or all of their teeth. Our teams number one priority is preserving and improving your dental health, so we perform routine cleanings, oral cancer screenings, and tooth extractions. Our dentists are also experienced in treating more complex oral health issues such as sleep apnea or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder.

If you want to improve the appearance of your smile, we provide cosmetic procedures such as porcelain veneers or dental bonding. To restore the look and function of your teeth, we can fill them with tooth-colored fillings or cap them with durable crowns. The only type of dental procedure we do not provide at our office is traditional orthodontia. If you wish to straighten your teeth with braces and are not a good candidate for Invisalign, we can refer you to a trusted partner orthodontist.

Dr. Browns father opened our original practice in 1968. Since then, we have maintained a commitment to advocating for our patients and being there for them throughout their entire treatment process. We will answer any questions you have and ensure your comfort from start to finish.

Advanced Dental TechnologyIn addition to attending continuing education courses to enhance their skills, Drs. Brown and Baran use some of the latest dental technologies. We understand the importance of using improved digital tools and like to stay ahead of the trends.

We can create restorations in just one day using our computer-aided manufacturing and design machine. We also use the sophisticated KR whitening system, which has been shown to diminish even dark, intrinsic staining caused by chemicals and medications. Our dentists also use our intraoral camera to give patients a look at the inside of their mouths so they can better understand their diagnoses and treatment plans.

Our dentists restore teeth with modern dental implants, titanium posts that fuse with the jawbone to hold crowns, bridges, and dentures in place. We create custom surgical guides for this procedure with our Prexion 3-D cone beam scanner and use immediate-load techniques to place restorations more quickly than with traditional dental implant treatment. Dr. Brown is a member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, a respected organization that furthers the field of implant dentistry.

People ask me why and how I decided to become a dentist. I say dentistry chose me! Somehow, I always knew this is what I wanted to do. I make smiles and love doing it. When you are able to give someone a smile they never had, or see them leave with a positive experience, it is very satisfying. Dr. Baran

If you only need general dentistry procedures ( checkup, cleaning, cavity filling), this practice may provide you with what you want or need. However, if you need more extensive expertise, they will refer you to an endodontist and you will need yet another evaluation appointment before finally receiving a treatment appointment. This has happened to me twice! When you have a toothache, you would prefer to have it quickly treated. Not an option with Southern Dental. I wish that they would have just referred me to an endodontist to save time from the beginning. The " we need to evaluate and cannot guarantee treatment at the time of your visit" is just a waste of time and money.

My initial experiences were very good. Recent experience my husband had was very disappointing. A $1,200 Porcelain Crown put in ten days ago falls out? What type of adhesive was used to affix the crown. Yes they'll put it back in, but the inconvenience of having to take the time and return for another appointment is an inconvenience.

Disgusting. You can not be a family dental office and not be able to handle children. Children being afraid of something that only happens 2 times a year and is with a strange person...ia completely normal. Family dental someone in the office should be able to handle a child that is crying. Also having someone who looks like they are fresh out of college working on kids and complaining because they cant work with screaming children is not good business practice. Multiple customers left the parking lot with me when they heard about this treatment as well. Change your name to only works with silent and elderly people. This place is a joke. And is being reported to every place necessary.

Today was my first visit with Southern Dental. I am just thrilled with my entire experience. From the time I contacted the office and set up my appointment with the receptionist, my cleaning with the hygienist, to my introduction to Dentist. I'm awful with retaining names so I used titles.Sorry! Thank you !

Absolutely amazing experience! I can not thank Dr. Baran, Kenny, and staff enough for their professionalism, kindness, great atmosphere, and extremely prompt care. While I was there to only fill out new patient forms , they fit me in for my exam. Directly after, Kenny stayed late upon request to do my cleaning. All of the staff there made my visit easy and calmed my nerves every step of the way. They listened to my concerns and answered every one of my (million) questions. I purchased their "Smile Savers Program" which saved me a good amount of money since I do not have dental insurance. In short, I will recommend Southern Dental in Seaford for all of your dental needs. I will return for mine.

Wonderful experience! My husband had a tooth that was very infected and needed pulling. After calling around to several other local offices, they got him in within an hour of my phone call. They treated him great and would highly recommend this dental office.

They really don't know the insurance process, at least not mine - made an appointment as a new patient - after telling me they accepted my insurance, at the appointment I was told they don't accept the insurance - my insurance shows them in network, it was a big confusion mostly due to their lack of knowing how to process the insurance claim, long story short I didn't to see a dentist - after figuring it all out, as I was confused, I tried to make another appointment - but couldn't get anything for 4 months -- long story short they aren't interested in new patients, just a heads up to anyone considering them for your new dentist and I was actually recommended to them - oh well moving on.

This dentist is totally unprofessional. He lists himself in insurance programs that he does not belong to. Very shady.
