Family Dentistry Troy

At Degenhardt Dental, your trusted Troy family dentists, we welcome patients of all ages to our dental family. We focus on providing personalized, high-quality dental care for each stage of life. From children to seniors, we love to see you smile!

A Rich History of Quality Family Dental Care 

Dr. Ted Degenhardt established our dental practice in 1979. Today, he and his son, Dr. Chris Degenhardt, combine their skills and expertise to provide comprehensive and comfortable dental care to patients in Troy, MI, leaving little to no need for specialists. 

Partnering with Patients

At Degenhardt Dental, we pride ourselves on being your mentors in dental health. This means that we invest time in educating our patients about their dental health so they can feel confident about the decisions they make for their smiles.

Your smile and dental health are closely connected with your entire well-being, so we spend significant time getting to know you during a thorough evaluation and exam at your first visit. This sets the stage for helping you understand your treatment needs, if any, and how we’ll proceed with your care.

Caring for Our Smallest Smiles

We warmly welcome children to our Troy dental office and strive to make their dental experiences positive, fun, and upbeat.

Parents should begin oral care and tooth brushing as soon as their child's first teeth arrive. Joining their mom or dad for their own checkups and teeth cleanings will help children acclimate to visiting the dentist, and they can have their first visit around ages two or three when they feel comfortable in the dental chair. 

With a focus on preventive dentistry, we aim to keep your smile healthy, bright, and happy. Preventive teeth cleanings and checkups allow us to spot concerns early when they’re easier and less expensive for you to treat.

Restorative and cosmetic dentistry help us repair troubled teeth and create dream smiles. Some of the comprehensive services you’ll find at Degenhardt Dental are:

• Tooth-colored restorations
• Porcelain crowns, bridges, and veneers
• Dental bonding
• Root canal treatment
• Dental implants
• Bone grafting
• All-on-x implant dentures
• Professional teeth whitening
• Clear aligners with Invisalign
• Treatment for sleep apnea

We love welcoming new families to our Troy dental office, and we’re committed to forming lasting relationships and understanding your unique oral health needs.

One of the benefits of choosing a family dentist is that we’re equipped to treat patients of all ages, making it possible for you, your children, and even your parents to visit one dental office.

We want your first visit to be an experience that makes you want to come back for years to come; here’s what you can expect when you arrive at our office:

• Check-in and paperwork — You’ll receive a warm greeting, and a team member will ask you to provide your medical history and insurance information. They’ll answer any questions you have before escorting you to a treatment room.
• Comprehensive exam — A dental hygienist will look inside your mouth for any signs of cavities or periodontal disease, and they’ll probably take x-rays so the dentist can accurately assess your oral health.
• Professional cleaning — Next, the hygienist will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums before polishing and flossing your teeth, leaving them feeling smooth and clean.
• Personalized treatment planning — One of our experienced dentists will review your x-rays and talk to you about any concerns. If you need treatment, they customize a plan suited to your goals and budget.

At Degenhardt Dental, we understand the unique needs of every patient, and we realize that children’s dental concerns are different than those of adults or seniors. That’s why we tailor treatment to the individual.

Here’s how:

Dental Care for Children

When we treat children, our focus is on helping them build healthy habits for a lifetime. We want kids to know how to properly brush their teeth to prevent dental issues, and we do everything we can to ensure they maintain optimal oral health. This includes fluoride and sealants, as well as healthy eating tips.

Dental Care for Adults

For adults in their 30s and 40s, the focus tends to shift toward restorative treatments. During your visits, we assess issues such as tooth wear, cavities, and receding gums. If necessary, we’ll recommend dental crowns, bridges, implants, or tooth-colored fillings. This also seems to be the time when cosmetic dental treatments become popular, so we’re happy to speak with you about teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, or other ways to enhance your smile’s appearance.

Dental Care for Seniors

As you get older, maintaining good oral health can become a bit more challenging. Issues like gum disease, dry mouth, and tooth loss are more prevalent. We work with seniors to maintain healthy smiles, and we can create treatment plans for dentures and partials, dental implants, or periodontal treatment.
