General & Family Dentistry

Brushing and flossing at home are a great start, but healthy smiles also depend on regular visits with Dr. Nickolas Felten in Maplewood, Minnesota.

What Is General & Family Dentistry?

General and family dentistry covers the everyday care that keeps your whole family’s smiles healthy, from routine cleanings and exams to same-day emergency care and treatment for gum disease. It also includes protective treatments like sealants and guards, along with extractions when a tooth cannot be saved. Explore the full range of family services below.

The Importance of General & Family Dentistry

Consistent dental care is one of the most effective ways to protect your family’s health long term. Catching Issues Early: Regular exams and X-rays often catch cavities and gum disease before they cause pain or require extensive treatment. Building Healthy Habits: Family visits establish good oral hygiene routines for children that carry into adulthood. One Trusted Team for Everyone: Seeing the same practice for the whole family makes scheduling simpler and builds continuity of care over time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Consult was great, service was top notch & pricing was fair.  Dr Felten and staff were a great find in the neighborhood.  I used to drive 45 minutes to my dentist for years, I wish I would’ve called them sooner.  They don’t disappoint

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a senior citizen who had a troublesome wisdom tooth that needed to come out. My experience was good and the results are great so far. To say I was cautious about the whole procedure is an understatement; but Dr. Felton and his assistant went above board to assure my comfort. Many,  many thanks.
