Family Dentistry
Looking for a dentist who can care for your whole family under one roof in Topsham ME or Biddeford ME? That’s exactly what family dentistry is all about. At Gentle Dental, we welcome patients of all ages, from toddlers just getting their first tooth to grandparents who’ve seen it all. Whether it’s a simple cleaning or something more complex, we’re here to make sure your entire household feels at ease and cared for.
Let’s face it—life gets busy. That’s why we make it easier to get the dental care you need with fewer appointments, more convenience, and a consistent team who knows your family’s oral health history.
What Is Family Dentistry?
Family dentistry focuses on delivering comprehensive dental care to patients of all ages, all in one practice. Unlike pediatric-only or adult-only practices, a family dentist treats kids, teens, adults, and seniors with personalized care that evolves as your needs change.
Think of us as your one-stop shop for everything from baby teeth to dental implants.
Why Choose A Family Dentist?
Great question. Here’s why families stick with us for years:
- One Trusted Provider For Everyone
Say goodbye to juggling different dentists for each family member. We handle everything in-house, so your kids, spouse, and even your parents can all be treated by the same trusted team. - Easier Scheduling
We offer flexible scheduling options—including same-day family appointments—so you can bring the whole crew in at once and save time. - A Lifetime Of Dental Records In One Place
Seeing the same provider through every stage of life helps us monitor changes, catch potential issues early, and provide care that’s truly tailored to your history and goals. - A Stress-Free Experience
We know how to keep little ones calm and how to explain treatment in a way adults understand. Our office is designed to be warm, welcoming, and free from the "clinical" feel that makes some people uneasy.

Family Dental Care For Children
We love seeing young smiles—and we’re trained to care for them, too. Our goal is to make dental visits fun, friendly, and educational for kids. The earlier they develop good habits, the better their long-term oral health will be.
We recommend bringing your child in around their first birthday or when their first tooth appears—whichever comes first.
Teenagers And Oral Health
Teen years come with their own set of challenges: braces, wisdom teeth, sports injuries, and diet choices. We’re here to help your teen keep their smile healthy as they grow and become more independent.
Adult And Senior Dental Needs
As we age, dental needs change. Adults may need restorations, cosmetic updates, or help managing gum health. Seniors may be managing missing teeth, dry mouth, or denture care. We offer compassionate, judgment-free solutions for all of the above.
Your Family Deserves A Dental Team That Feels Like Family
At Gentle Dental, we take pride in building lasting relationships with the families we serve. We don’t rush appointments or treat you like a number. We take time to listen, answer questions, and deliver care that keeps your family smiling confidently.
