Family Dentistry

Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, Oakleaf, Orange Park

When you find a dentist that you like and you are happy with his work, why not let your whole family to benefit from his services? Dr. Blankenship is not only a cosmetic and neuromuscular dentist; he is also a family dentist, serving families in the Ponte Vedra and Jacksonville Florida areas. His highly trained team will make your entire family feel right at home.

Getting a Healthy Start

One of the best long term gifts you can give your children is proper dental care. Beginning dental care early in life teaches your child good habits, and can detect problems before they become serious. As a neuromuscular dentist Dr. Blankenship is able to help children who have a misaligned bite caused by temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).

Combating Dental Fear

Fear is the number one reason why people avoid going to the dentist. Avoiding dental visits leads to serious dental problems and even life-threatening health problems. By starting out with a dentist you trust, in a serene office environment, your child never has to develop a fear of the dental chair. For those who already have anxiety about dental work, are resistant to numbing, or have a strong gag reflex, Dr. Blankenship offers sedation dentistry.

Digital X-Rays

Traditional X-rays can be painful, especially for little mouths. Dr. Blankenship uses all digital X-rays which alleviate the discomfort of the X-ray process. Digital X-rays are faster and more accurate, and they expose you and your family to far less radiation than traditional X-rays.

The Benefits of Family Dentistry

Family dentistry means more convenience and more complete care. As your family dentist, Dr. Blankenship knows more about your eating habits, dental hygiene, and the combined dental history of your family so he can provide more effective dental care. He will be more likely to see a problem coming and treat it before it gets out of hand.

With a highly-qualified family dentist, you also get the convenience of having all of your dental care under one roof. You can schedule appointments for yourself, your spouse, and your children with less running around, and less time taken out of your busy schedule.
