Family Dentistry

All members of the family are welcome and of all ages. The dental team at McDonald Family Dentistry focuses on providing the highest quality family-focused experience. One of the best things about having a family dentist is the convenience of taking care of all your dental needs for the whole family in one place. 

The Advantage of a Family Dentist

Scheduling a trip to the dentist for cleanings can be done in groups. With our flexible scheduling, it might be possible to get the whole family taken care of in one day, making it easier to fit everyone's smile needs into busy family schedules. In addition, our familiar, family-oriented environment of friendly faces creates a comfortable atmosphere that becomes familiar and welcoming from the moment you walk through our doors.
