Dr. Alan Dechter and Dr. Matthew Moy understands that each patient is different and has unique needs. We work with each patient on an individual basis to help them achieve optimal dental health and maintain it. As a full service dental office, we can address all your dental needs under one roof.
We offer custom dental treatment plans for patients with dental problems or who want a smile makeover. General dentistry is the foundation of our dental practice. We ensure our patients have a healthy mouth for a lifetime.
Family Dental Practice
As a family dental office, we see patients of all ages for preventative dental care. We can treat your entire family in one convenient office location. Our friendly office staff will work with you and your schedule to make sure we can see everyone in your family in one trip.
We recommend you bring your children in for their first visit when their primary teeth begin to erupt or by age one. Early dentist visits for children are important. They allow us to spot major dental issues early on that can affect their speech or oral development.
Most importantly, they will allow us to gain your child’s trust and acclimate them to a dental office setting. We will do our best to make sure your child is comfortable and do all we can to minimize anxious feelings. At these visits, we will also educate you and your child about healthy oral hygiene habits.
The Importance of General Dentistry
As a general dentist office, our job is to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy. Visiting us at least twice a year is the best way to achieve this and maintain a healthy smile. At each visit we will clean and polish your teeth, perform a thorough dental exam, and take x-rays when necessary.
If our dentist finds a problem, we can treat it early and when treatment is least invasive before it gets worse. A common issue we often see is tooth decay (tooth cavity). If caught early, we can perform a simple tooth filling to fix it and prevent further decay. If the decay is significant, it may require a root canal or even a tooth extraction.
stick to a strict oral hygiene routine in-between your routine visits to our Wheaton, MD, dental office. This includes brushing your teeth after meals or at least twice a day. Floss daily to remove food stuck in-between teeth, and use mouthwash once or twice a day. In doing this and visiting us every six months, you have the best chance at achieving the best dental health.
Restorative Dentistry
Not everyone is blessed with perfect oral health. Some people have neglected their teeth for years and some have suffered injury or trauma. Whatever the cause, we help our patients regain the health and function of their teeth and gums using restorative treatments.
We are a no-judgement dental practice! Our dentists want our patients to feel comfortable coming to us for help. After an exam, we will create a treatment plan to help you regain your oral health. The restorative treatments we offer include:
