OUR SERVICES

GENERAL DENTISTRY

Dr. Randy Owen of Tidewater Family Dentistry in Newport News, VA is a general dentist providing a wide array of dental services that are vital to maintaining your optimal oral health. A general dentist provides comprehensive dental care for patients of all ages. General dentistry services range from prevention to restorative and cosmetic procedures that not only enhance the beauty of your smile, but also maintain the function of your bite and promote the preservation of your natural teeth.

PREVENTATIVE DENTISTRY

Regular dental visits for cleanings and oral health checks combined with excellent home care routines are the essence of preventative dentistry. The goal of preventative dentistry is to be able to keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout your lifetime and actively prevent dental problems that may require invasive treatments. Ideally, preventative dentistry begins early in childhood by learning the proper way to brush and floss your teeth as well as maintaining regular dental visits to identify problems early before they become bigger dental issues. Tidewater Family Dentistry encourages all patients to take charge of their oral health by keeping routine visits to the dentist and brushing and flossing at home.

RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

Restorative dentistry encompasses the dental procedures that are performed to maintain a healthy and functional smile. It is common for people to need restorative dentistry to repair damaged teeth, replace fillings, fix chipped or broken teeth and make crowns or bridges to help keep your teeth functional. The goal of restorative dentistry is to always save your natural teeth and, when that is not possible, to provide dental implants to act and function as natural teeth. Tidewater Family Dentistry is pleased to offer a wide range of restorative dental services to meet all of your dental needs at every stage throughout life.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Oftentimes, patients may wonder what they can do to take their smile to the next level. We want you to have the smile of your dreams and that is why Tidewater Family Dentistry is pleased to offer cosmetic dental services to improve the look of your smile. From teeth whitening to dental veneers, our cosmetic services span a wide range of treatment options that are sure to meet your smile goals.

DENTAL EMERGENCIES

Dental emergencies can happen at any time and often when you least expect it. It is important for you to have a plan in place in case an emergency does happen to you or a family member. One of the first steps to take to be prepared for an emergency dental situation is to have a dentist that you know and trust. Tidewater Family Dentistry is pleased to become your dental home and serve as the team of professionals you turn to in your time of need.

IMPLANT DENTISTRY

Dr. Owen of Tidewater Family Dentistry located in Newport News, VA is pleased to provide dental implants as a permanent, effective solution for missing teeth. Implants are a strong, durable and long lasting treatment option for patients missing a tooth or teeth. Dental implants serve as the root of your missing tooth and are implanted into the bone below the gum’s surface. Implants provide a strong foundation for a crown restoration which will look and act like your natural tooth.

PERIODONTAL DISEASE CARE

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease or periodontitis, is a common infection of the soft tissues surrounding the teeth that can range from mild to severe. If left untreated, periodontal disease is a progressive condition that can damage the bone beneath the teeth and lead to tooth loss. Good oral hygiene plays a key role in the prevention of gum disease. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily and regular visits to the dentist for checkups are the best tools in combating and preventing periodontal disease.

PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

As a parent, you want the best dental care for your child so that they can grow up knowing the importance of oral health and the proper brushing and flossing techniques. You also want them to develop a trusting relationship with the dentist and know the dentist is a friend that will always provide the necessary treatment to keep their teeth and mouth in top notch shape. Tidewater Family Dentistry is honored to be your family’s dental home and that includes providing a fun, reassuring and comfortable environment for your children. We happily see children from the time the first tooth erupts through the teen years and beyond.

DENTURES AND APPLIANCES

Dentures are made to look like your natural teeth and are beneficial as a replacement for missing teeth. Dentures can help improve chewing and nutrition as well as your speech. There are two main types of dentures, complete dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing in an arch. Partial dentures are used to replace the loss of several teeth in an area.
