Family Dental Center of Manteca is excited to welcome new patients to our comfortable dental office. Drs. Mircea Mituand and George D’Louhy wants your first visit—and everyone that follows—to be as relaxing as possible. Whether you want a simple check-up or an emergency appointment, we’ll give you the confidence-boosting smile you deserve.
First-time dental visits can settle a few nerves, but it’s our promise we’ll make your visit comfortable. Here’s what you can expect during your first visit.
Before the examination begins, your dentist will review your medical and dental history. This involves discussing existing health conditions, medications, allergies, and previous dental treatments. Understanding your health background helps the dentist tailor your treatment to meet your needs.
The dentist thoroughly assesses your teeth and gums for signs of decay, gum disease, bite misalignment, failing dental work, etc. The dentist also examines your soft tissues, including the tongue, cheeks, palate, and throat, for abnormalities, lesions, and other signs of mouth cancer. Routine exams allow us to detect and address oral problems before they become hard to treat.
Our dental exams are thorough, but not every issue is visible to the naked eye. Your dental exam also involves digital X-rays to unearth bone loss, impacted teeth, interproximal cavities, and other hidden problems. We use the latest dental X-rays, generating high-quality images with minimal radiation exposure.
We’ll discuss the findings of your dental exams and develop a personalized treatment plan. If no significant issues are found, we’ll perform a thorough dental cleaning, removing plaque and tartar from all surfaces of your teeth. To help prevent future buildup, we’ll also polish your teeth for a smoother finish.
Some patients may benefit from additional preventive treatments, such as dental sealants or fluoride application. However, if more extensive care is needed, we’ll recommend periodontal therapy, fillings, dental crowns, etc., to restore oral health. Our office offers comprehensive dental care, including preventive, cosmetic, and restorative services, ensuring your smile stays healthy and beautiful.
Informed patients make the best decisions about their oral health. We’ll equip you with information on oral hygiene, nutrition, harmful lifestyle choices, etc., to ensure you take charge of your oral health destiny.
We have made dental care affordable to all patients. While we are an insurance-friendly office, we understand not everyone has coverage. We offer CareCredit financing to help you manage treatment with low-cost monthly installments. Applying for CareCredit is simple, and pre-qualification doesn’t affect your credit rating. Once approved, you can use CareCredit for your whole family, including pets!
Family Dental Center of Manteca doesn’t want you to hide your charming smile. Whether you want a simple check-up or a second opinion from our office, call (209) 420-1205 and schedule an appointment with our team. We can’t wait to help you achieve the healthy smile you deserve.
