When you have dental appointments across multiple offices, keeping up with everyone’s care becomes a puzzle you’d rather not solve. Choosing one trusted practice where every family member feels comfortable makes oral health a straightforward part of your routine. The right dental home grows with your household through every stage.
Naylor Family Dental and Implant Center welcomes Gil Crease families into a practice built on genuine relationships and quality care. Dr. Brian Naylor graduated from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2017 and approaches each visit with both clinical skill and personal warmth. Our doors stay open to patients from toddlers through grandparents, offering the kind of attention we’d want for our own families.
How We Care for Every Age
Family dentistry means more than just treating multiple generations under one roof. It requires understanding how oral health changes across life stages and adapting care accordingly. A six-year-old learning to brush properly needs different guidance than a teenager considering orthodontics or a retiree managing medication-related dry mouth.
Your youngest family members benefit from fluoride treatments that fortify enamel during critical development years. As kids grow, we monitor tooth eruption patterns and catch small problems before they become bigger concerns. Teenagers with crooked teeth discover that clear aligners discreetly straighten their smiles, fitting into their social lives without metal brackets.
Why Prevention Matters Most
Daily brushing and flossing form your first line of defense against decay and gum disease. The American Dental Association recommends brushing twice daily and flossing once daily, and replacing your toothbrush every three to four months as bristles wear down. These home habits work alongside professional cleanings to remove stubborn plaque and tartar your toothbrush can’t reach.
Regular checkups catch cavities when they’re still small and treatable with simple dental fillings. We also screen for oral health issues that develop silently, giving you the best chance for successful early intervention. Prevention costs less than restoration, both in time and money.
Comprehensive Services Under One Roof
Adults juggling work and family responsibilities appreciate access to restorative dentistry without having to bounce between specialists. When a tooth becomes infected, root canal therapy often saves it from extraction. Damaged teeth regain strength and natural appearance with dental crowns that blend seamlessly with your smile.
Missing teeth create more than just aesthetic concerns. They affect how you chew, speak, and feel about smiling in photos. Dental implants replace lost teeth with permanent solutions that function like the originals, while dental bridges offer another effective restoration option.
Cosmetic Options That Build Confidence
Sometimes your teeth work perfectly fine but don’t look the way you’d like. Dental bonding repairs minor chips and closes small gaps in a single visit. For more dramatic transformations, veneers create the smile you’ve always wanted by covering imperfections with custom-crafted porcelain shells.
Meeting Senior Health Needs
Oral health doesn’t retire when you do. Aging brings changes that demand thoughtful attention. Many medications reduce saliva production, leaving mouths dry and vulnerable to cavities. Gum tissue recedes over time, exposing tooth roots to decay. We design care plans acknowledging these realities while respecting your overall health picture and any physical limitations you face.
Dentures restore function when multiple teeth are gone, and implant-retained dentures provide extra stability for confident eating and speaking. Full mouth rehabilitation addresses extensive damage or wear accumulated over decades.
Financial Options We Accept
Dental care shouldn’t drain your budget or force impossible choices. We’ve built our practice around accessibility, accepting multiple insurance carriers and offering alternatives when traditional coverage doesn’t fit your situation.
Our team works with these insurance providers to help you access the care you need:
- Delta Dental PPO
- Cigna Dental
- Aetna Dental
- Guardian
- Always Care
- UFCW
- Unum
We handle insurance submissions regardless of your PPO carrier, translating confusing benefits into straightforward explanations. For families without traditional insurance, our in-house dental membership plan provides predictable costs and comprehensive preventive care. Financing through CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and Cherry breaks larger treatments into manageable monthly payments, often with promotional interest rates for qualified applicants.
The Value of Having a Family Dentist
Bouncing between dental offices means starting over with each new provider. They don’t know your history, your concerns, or the patterns your teeth follow. When you stay with one practice, your dentist recognizes subtle shifts that might signal trouble brewing. Digital x-rays from previous visits become comparison points, making diagnosis more accurate.
Children who grow up seeing familiar faces develop trust that lasts into adulthood. They learn that dental visits aren’t scary, just a normal part of taking care of themselves. Parents enjoy coordinating fewer schedules and repeating medical histories just once.
