‍

What is digital X-ray technology, and is it safe?

Digital X-rays use advanced technology to capture clear images of your teeth and gums with minimal radiation. They are faster, safer, and more accurate than traditional X-rays, and we use them as part of our commitment to providing the best possible care.

What is an intraoral camera, and how does it help me?

An intraoral camera is a small device that captures detailed images of your teeth and gums, which are displayed on a screen in real-time. This allows us to visually show you any issues and discuss your treatment options in a way that is clear and easy to understand.

What is the process for getting dental implants?

Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. They involve a multi-step process: first, the implant is placed into the jawbone, followed by a healing period. Once healed, a crown or restoration is placed on top. Dr. Josephson will guide you through the entire process, ensuring you are comfortable and informed.

Advanced Care with a Gentle Touch

We invest in the latest dental technology to provide you with more comfortable, efficient, and precise treatments.

General Care

How often should I visit the dentist?

We recommend visiting Generational Dentistry every six months for a routine cleaning and exam. However, depending on your oral health, you may need more frequent visits. Dr. Josephson will provide personalized guidance based on your needs.

Is dental care for children different?

Yes, dental care for children focuses on prevention, education, and early intervention. Dr. Josephson and our team are experienced in making dental visits fun and stress-free for children of all ages. We work with parents to ensure their child’s dental health is on the right track.
