West River Family Dental offers Brattleboro and surrounding Vermont communities access to reliable, advanced dental care in a state-of-the-art environment. We keep things down-to-earth at West River Family Dental; we believe in great value, excellent dental care, and building friendly relationships with all of our patients.
Our dental technology includes digital X-rays, digital impressions, and soft-tissue lasers. Digital X-rays are a popular option for radiography these days because they dont use toxic chemicals, show almost immediate results on chairside monitors, and dont expose patients to even half as much radiation as traditional X-rays. Digital impressions are a patient favorite! When you think of impressions, you likely think of messy and uncomfortable impressions involving malleable material that we put on your teeth. Digital impressions make the entire process completely clean and easy no messy impression material needed! Plus, soft-tissue lasers make periodontal therapy more precise, more comfortable, and less invasive.
Were one of the few offices in the area to offer nitrous oxide, which we can administer to both kids and adults. Kids sometimes have a very hard time sitting still for the length of a dental visit, so light sedation with nitrous oxide can come in handy. We want to make sure that every member of your family has a pleasant experience whenever you visit West River Family Dental.
