A family dentist is a dental health professional who caters to the oral care needs of an entire family. From kids to adults and senior citizens, a family dentist is skilled at treating everyone with the same proficiency level.

Dr. David D. Shively, DDS, and Dr. Roger V. Pham, DDS, at Auburn Dental Center have long been offering dozens of dental health services to patients of all ages in the Bakersfield, California region and know all about the benefits of having a family dentist. Read on to find out what they are.

Family Dentists Are Versatile

Whether your teen daughter wants braces or your father wants a custom-made denture, family dentists like Dr. Shively and Dr. Pham are equally good at making it happen.

Dental Care Becomes Simpler
