Give yourself a reason to smile
Family Dentistry
Because the maintenance of oral health should begin at an early age, we are committed to family dentistry and can handle cases for all age groups. We assist parents in teaching children how to care for their gums and teeth, and aim to provide a calming experience for children so they don’t experience the fear of the dentist that was so common in the past. Continued dental care for adults and seniors includes further preventative and restorative care at our Virginia practice. Learn more about family dentistry for patients of all ages.
Dr. Bream’s prior experience working with children provides him with an inviting demeanor and gentle touch. These traits allow him to capture children’s trust so he can help educate them on how to best care for their teeth and gums. We strive to maintain a friendly, anxiety-free environment for kids at our family dentistry practice so they adopt the view that visiting the dentist can be a pleasant experience. Dr. Alan Bream can also coach parents about their child’s oral care and discuss how they can assist their children in maintaining proper hygiene.

Patients ranging from age 17 to 28 tend to experience problems related to excess sugar and soft drinks. We believe it is the responsibility of our Virginia family dentistry staff to educate our patients how they can practice preventative care to keep their teeth and gums in the best shape possible. If patients’ teeth are suffering from the deleterious effects of a high-sugar diet, we may recommend a fluoride treatment to help build teeth back up to optimal health. Many patients in this age range also seek tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, and other cosmetic dentistry treatments to improve the appearance of their smile.

Seniors have new and additional health responsibilities when it comes to caring for teeth and gums. The maintenance and preservation of teeth is crucial at this point in life, and Dr. Bream will discuss the dangers of periodontal disease and other problems that affect seniors’ oral health. If teeth or gums have deteriorated and are in need of restorative work, Dr. Bream can help you weigh the different options available, including dentures and implant dentistry.
