 At LADD Dental Group , we believe that a trip to the dentist should be a positive experience for every patient. While modern technology and compassionate care play an important role, sometimes the greatest source of comfort comes on four paws. That's why we're so grateful to have Anna , our dental support dog, as part of the LADD Dental Group family. For many people, visiting the dentist can bring feelings of anxiety or fear. Whether it's a child coming in for their very first appointment, an adult who has had a difficult dental experience in the past, or someone who simply feels nervous in the dental chair, those emotions are real—and they deserve understanding and compassion. Anna has a remarkable way of helping patients feel at ease from the moment they meet her. Her calm demeanor, gentle personality, and unconditional affection create an atmosphere that helps replace anxiety with comfort. A wagging tail, a friendly greeting, or simply having Anna nearby can make all...

Family Dentistry | Family Serving Families Since 1978

 A healthy smile is about more than appearance—it is an important part of a person's overall health and quality of life. Family dental care provides comprehensive oral healthcare for children, adults, and seniors, allowing entire families to receive trusted care from the same dental team throughout their lives. One of the greatest strengths of family dentistry is the relationships it creates. When patients see the same dentist over many years, that provider develops a deep understanding of their medical history, oral health needs, and personal goals. Children become comfortable visiting the dentist, parents have confidence in their family's care, and older adults receive continuity as their needs change over time. Preventive care is at the heart of family dentistry . Routine exams, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and patient education help identify problems before they become serious. Preventing dental disease not only saves patients time and money, b...
