Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent, natural-looking solutions for missing teeth. Our practice offers single, multiple, and full-arch replacements using advanced techniques. Patients benefit from restored function and aesthetics, with implants integrating securely into the jawbone for long-term stability.
Same-Day Crowns
Using cutting-edge technology, we create and place custom crowns in one visit. This eliminates the need for temporary restorations and multiple appointments. Patients receive durable, aesthetically pleasing crowns that match their natural teeth seamlessly.
Orthodontics
We offer orthodontic solutions for children and adults, including traditional and modern brace options. Treatment corrects misaligned teeth, improving both oral health and confidence. Our team tailors plans to address individual bite and alignment needs efficiently.
Periodontal Treatment
Our practice addresses gum disease through diagnosis, targeted therapies, and maintenance plans. Treatments aim to halt disease progression, protect tooth-supporting structures, and promote overall oral health through specialized cleaning and patient education.

Recently switched dentists to family time dental and couldnt be happier. Everyone is so pleasant and happy and customer service is phenomenal. Unlike other dentist offices they actually care about your well being and whats important as oppose to just trying to take money. Thank you family time dentist !

I was so incredibly impressed with the safety measures put in place due to Covid 19. Each chair was sanctioned off by a complete barrier protecting you from others...each sectioned area had an individual air filtration system, all tools and equipment sterilized, all staff members gowned, shield's, masks and gloves. During this pandemic I seriously never felt as safe, and secure, as I did at Family Time Dentist...truly impressed. Dr Whelan and staff are exceptional. Thank you for all that you do, and in keeping us all safe. Wendy

I'm not a big fan of going to the Dentist. But I've been going for over fifty years. Of all the Dentist I've been too, I must say Family Time Dental for me, has always been a positive experience. From cleanings to fillings to my most recent visit for a crown. I've been a Patient for almost three years now and will continue to be.

Botched root canal. Although instruments can break - I've had issues ever since and it's been over a year. Follow up was non existent and after procedure I could tell by the reaction of the dentist performing it that something just wasn't right.. anyways I've since recently switched to Smile Dental and I would highly recommend them. Customer service is far better and they are currently in the process of fixing the tooth which was not properly cleaned. Again, I understand misrakes can happen but follow up care was not there.

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Whalen and her team at Family Time Dental for almost 20 years. We have received expert care in a warm and friendly environment. Everyone is on a first name basis. I used to be very nervous about going to the dentist. Not anymore. They make you feel very comfortable.
