  • What is family dentistry, and how is it different from general dentistry?

    Family dentistry provides comprehensive oral health care for patients across all age groups, from young children to seniors. It encompasses preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dental services, all conveniently offered in a single location.
  • At what age should my child start seeing a family dentist?

    Dr. Kuske advises scheduling your child's initial dental visit by their first birthday, or within six months after their first tooth appears. This early start helps establish good oral health habits from the beginning.
  • Do you offer pediatric dental services?

    Indeed, our office provides child-friendly dental care. This includes cleanings, examinations, fluoride treatments, sealants, and educational resources. We strive to make dental visits enjoyable and anxiety-free for our young patients.
  • How often should my family come in for dental check-ups?

    For optimal oral health, we suggest that both children and adults schedule dental check-ups and cleanings every six months. This frequency allows for early detection of potential issues and helps prevent cavities.
  • Do you treat both children and adults at the same location?

    Absolutely. Our practice, led by Nicole Kuske, DDS, offers comprehensive family dental care for patients of all ages. From toddlers to seniors, we provide convenient, full-service dental treatment in one location.
  • What are the most common dental treatments for children?

    Typical pediatric dental services include regular cleanings, cavity fillings, fluoride applications, dental sealants, and orthodontic assessments. These treatments support healthy oral development in children.
  • How do you help children who are afraid of the dentist?

    Dr. Kuske and her staff create a comforting, relaxed atmosphere. We employ gentle communication techniques and behavioral guidance strategies to ensure your child feels secure and comfortable during their visit.
  • Do you offer flexible scheduling for busy families?

    We understand the demands of family life. Our practice offers extended hours on certain days and we're happy to coordinate multiple family appointments when possible to help you save time.
  • Can you help my teen with Invisalign or other orthodontic needs?

    Certainly. We provide Invisalign clear aligner treatment for both teenagers and adults. This offers an effective, discreet alternative to traditional braces for orthodontic correction.
  • What insurance plans do you accept for family dental care?

    Our office accepts most PPO insurance plans. We're committed to helping families verify their coverage and maximize their insurance benefits. For those without insurance, we offer various financing options to make dental care accessible.
