Dentist for Edwardsville families

Yes. We have the training, experience, and capabilities to care for all members of your household. These early appointments are great opportunities for us to instill healthy habits and behaviors that your child will carry with them into adulthood. Plus, unlike other practices, your child does not graduate or grow out of our practice. We see generations of families, and can continue to care for your child’s needs as they grow and start their own families. 

All family members, regardless of their overall health and risk of dental disease, should visit our office at least twice per year. These 6-month dental check-ups are all about examining your mouth for signs of problems. So, if they are present, we catch them early. By detecting and treating gum disease or tooth decay before it progresses, we prevent further damage and potential tooth loss.

Kellerman Dental provides complete services. Our recommendations for treatment depend on your specific needs. They include a “deep cleaning” for gum disease and dental restorations like fillings and crowns to preserve decayed or damaged teeth. We can even make some restorations on-site, while you wait, thanks to computer-aided technologies.

While every effort is made to save teeth with treatments like painless, advanced root canal therapy, not all treated teeth heal properly. And deeply decayed teeth may not be good candidates for other treatments. No worries, though. We are among the select general dentists’ offices in the Edwardsville area to offer complete implant dentistry services. We can handle every step in the implant process from our office. Conventional dental bridges are another cost-effective option that can last a long time with appropriate care. 

We are here to help! Our dentists offer many services to enhance your smile, including professional teeth whitening. We also take a special interest in orthodontic treatments. With modern options like Invisalign®, your teeth can be straightened discreetly. Instead of visible silver-colored brackets and wires, Invisalign® uses a series of clear aligners that can also be removed for effortless eating, brushing, and flossing throughout treatment.

Kellerman Dental is distinctive because we have specialized expertise in the treatment of conditions like sleep apnea. So, our knowledge extends to supporting the health of other tissues and structures in the mouth, face, and head. As dentists skilled in airway health, our oral appliances can help with sleep apnea and are less intrusive alternatives to CPAP therapy for the right patients. 

Our dentists can accommodate many urgent needs on the same day. It helps that we are just a few minutes’ drive away from many parts of Edwardsville. So, you can get to us quickly, and before you know it, you will be back to feeling and looking more like yourself again!

Trust us, we are nothing to fear. However, we empathize and appreciate that dental anxiety is common. For this reason, we have invested in many “helpers” to ensure you are comfortable and relaxed. This includes a range of sedation options, carefully and safely tailored to your needs.
