In addition to being interested in the beauty of your smile, we are also concerned with the health of your mouth. To help you achieve and maintain your optimal oral health, our practice focuses on preventive care and regular dental checkups. This not only keeps your teeth and gums looking good, feeling great, and functioning well, but keeping up with your oral health can also significantly reduce the amount of money youll have to spend on dental treatment later in life.
When you come in for a preventive checkup, well start by giving you a dental cleaning. For this, one of our skilled hygienists will used specialized tools to break up plaque and tartar that has accumulated on your teeth and gums. Even if you brush your teeth every day, there are still spots youll consistently miss, and these cleanings are great for targeting those problem areas.
Afterward, Dr. Gary Klein will perform a thorough oral exam where hell check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and many other dental issues. By coming in for two checkups each year, youll give him the chance to catch problems early and treat them conservatively, which trust us, is the way to go. You already have enough things to worry about, and well make sure your smile isnt one of them.
This refers to a variety of treatments that are aimed at handling gum disease. Our focus, of course, is on prevention whenever possible. If your gums feel sore or look red and swollen, you may be at risk for periodontal (gum) disease. Other signs include pain or sensitivity in your teeth and persistent bad breath. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss as well as various other serious health problems. We want to help protect your teeth, smile, and health by checking you for gum disease and guiding you into a course of periodontal therapy.
Were happy to treat patients of all ages hereit says family right in our name! If you want to give your child a strong start on the road to sustained oral health, then you should bring them to us as soon as their first tooth appears. Well take all the time they need to make sure theyre comfortable in our office, and well do everything with a gentle touch so that theyll always look forward to their next visit.
This treatment is ideal for children who are still learning to brush their teeth and adults who are prone to developing tooth decay and cavities. Dental Sealants involve applying a thin, clear layer of a plastic-based material to the teeth in order to protect them from the accumulation of food particles, plaque, and bacteria. Typically, they are only needed for the back teeth, which have many small crevices and often get missed while brushing.
Does your jaw ever feel sore in the morning, or do your teeth look worn down? If so, you may be suffering from bruxism, which is a condition where a patient clenches their jaw and grinds their teeth while they sleep. Eventually, this can cause the teeth to crack and even break! We can prevent this by providing you with a custom-made nightguard, which is a small mouthpiece that will place a protective barrier between your teeth at night. We actually can make them right in our office using our own 3D printer!
Oral cancer claims a life every hour of every day, and the saddest part is that most of those deaths are preventable. With early detection, oral cancer is extremely treatable, but most of the time, people dont find out till it is too late. To prevent this from happening to you, we will always perform an oral cancer screening during your regular checkup. Well examine your gums, lips, tongue, throat, and neck for any signs of the disease, and well guide you on what to do next should we find anything that causes concern.
Flouride treatment is one of the quickest, easiest, and most effective treatments we have. It uses the power of fluoride to protect your teeth from cavities. Fluoride is actually a naturally occurring element that helps strengthen your teeth by literally giving back the minerals that have been eaten away by plaque. This is why youll see it in so many toothpastes and public water sources. Well simply have you rinse your mouth with a concentrated fluoride solution for a few minutes, and thats it, your teeth will instantly have an extra layer of protection.

I'm used to seeing Dr Klein when I come in but todays visit was with Dr Miller. I am not a fan of going to the dentist, who is? But Dr Klein is very gentle. I got comfortable with him and was nervous (nothing new) to see someone different, but Dr Miller is great!!! She was wonderful, compassionate, gentle and I would 100% see her again!

Had a dental emergency that required a tooth to be pulled ASAP, worst pain of my life! Called Klein and they set me right up for a next day appointment. The appointment was top-notch aswell, all the staff are friendly and fun to talk to, and Dr. Klein himself has a very calming presence. Would recommend this office to anybody.

I used to love this practice so much from the skilled hygienists, Dr. Klein's great bedside manner and the always prompt service. Now, appointments are double booked, was seen 20 minutes late by an almost laughably unskilled hygienist, and then I was surprised to be seen by a new doctor. No notice given, how rude! Apparently I've been reassigned to a new doctor. No thanks!

I finally found a dentist I can feel comfortable in. I have moved almost an hour away and still drive it in order to get my teeth photoshopped in real life by their staff! In all seriousness, I will not ever change dentists. The staff is friendly, works with you and understands patients needs and fears.

Dr. Klein has been our dentist for at least 6 years now, maybe more. He's great. Knowledgable, communicative, trustworthy. Fantastic office and staff. Diligent and hard working. They are easy to talk to, easy to resolve problems, and are available if you should have a dental issue unexpectedly. We had such a great experience. Highly recommend this dentist.

Once again a stellar experience. Felt extremely safe in the office. Everything is spaced out, staff vaccinated, air purifiers. No wait as usual. If you're nervous about going back to the dentist and want the best, Klein Family Dentistry is the place to go.

I cannot say enough good things about Klein Family Dentistry!!! I used to hate and I mean hate the dentist, not the actual person but the occupation, not anymore. The waiting room was clean and bright the office staff was friendly. The hygienist explained everything, she was sweet and quick. My teeth felt so clean and nothing hurt. I met Dr. Klein he was not scary at all, (yes, I'm a full grown woman, but a fear is a fear even if it might seem irrational.) The entire experience was almost nice. Please, don't hesitate to call them if you need a Dentist, you will not be disappointed.

This is our 3rd time at the office. We had good experiences w/ the techs and the front staffs, not so much with the doctor for any of those times. Was told from the prev Dr. that I needed a fill on my teeth. Recently moved to the new location, appointment was scheduled with the office months in advance. Had told them about my problem, records have been transferred and confirmed that it was in their system for months. I showed up for the appointment, waited for my turn, he took a peak at my teeth for maybe 2 mins, and looked at the Xray (from prev doctor) for less than 3 mins, and said no fill needed, then told me to go home and come back for cleaning in couples month to re- eval. I would appreciate a phone call in advance so I didn't have to take time off from work...It was the end of the day, felt like he was rushing me out to go home... I left the office didn't feel good... wasted of my time.
