Comprehensive General and Family Dental Services
General dentistry focuses on preventing, diagnosing and treating common oral health problems. Family dentistry extends that care to patients at different stages of life, helping families maintain healthy teeth and gums through ongoing preventive and restorative treatment.
At Modern Family Dentistry of Oak Hill, we offer a wide range of dental services to address your family’s changing needs.
- Emergency Dentist
- Gum Disease Treatment
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Preventive Dentistry
- Sedation Dentistry
- TMJ Treatment
- Wisdom Teeth Removal
Our goal is to help patients maintain healthy smiles while identifying potential problems before they require more extensive treatment.
Preventive Dental Care for Long-Term Oral Health
Regular dental visits play an important role in preventing cavities, gum disease and other oral health concerns.
Preventive care also gives our dentists an opportunity to monitor changes in your teeth, gums and existing restorations.
Dental Exams and Professional Cleanings
Routine dental examinations help identify tooth decay, gum inflammation, damaged restorations and other concerns that may not cause noticeable symptoms.
Professional cleanings remove plaque and hardened tartar that cannot be completely eliminated through brushing and flossing alone.
Many patients benefit from dental visits approximately every six months, although the appropriate schedule depends on individual oral health needs and risk factors.
Patients with periodontal disease, frequent cavities or other concerns may require more frequent appointments.
Dental X-Rays and Diagnostic Technology
Dental X-rays help our dentists identify problems that may not be visible during a routine examination, including decay between teeth and certain conditions affecting tooth roots or supporting bone.
Our practice also uses digital imaging and 3D dental technology when clinically appropriate to support diagnosis and treatment planning.
Imaging recommendations are based on your dental history, examination findings and individual needs.
Gum Health and Periodontal Care
Healthy gums provide essential support for your teeth.
During routine examinations, our dentists evaluate gum health and look for signs of inflammation, bleeding, recession and periodontal disease.
When gum problems are identified, we discuss appropriate treatment and maintenance recommendations to help protect your oral health.
Family Dentistry for Children, Teens, Adults and Seniors
Dental needs change throughout life. Our family dental practice provides continuity of care while adapting treatment recommendations to each patient’s age, dental development and oral health.
Children’s Dental Care
Positive early dental experiences help children become comfortable with routine dental visits and establish healthy oral hygiene habits.
Our team focuses on gentle communication, preventive care and helping parents understand their children’s dental development.
We evaluate each child’s individual needs and recommend appropriate care or specialist referral when necessary.
Dental Care for Teens
Teenagers may experience changing oral health needs as permanent teeth develop and daily habits evolve.
Regular dental visits help monitor cavities, gum health, tooth alignment and other concerns.
Our dentists also provide clear aligner treatment for appropriate candidates who want to improve tooth alignment.
Adult Dental Care
For adults, routine examinations and preventive care help maintain oral health while identifying changes associated with aging, wear, previous dental work or periodontal concerns.
Our dentists also provide restorative and cosmetic treatment for patients who want to repair damaged teeth or improve their smiles.
Dental Care for Seniors
Older adults may face concerns involving gum recession, tooth wear, missing teeth, dry mouth or aging dental restorations.
Our team evaluates these needs and develops individualized treatment plans that consider comfort, function and long-term oral health.
Because we provide a broad range of dental services, patients can discuss preventive, restorative and tooth replacement options within the same practice.
Restorative Dentistry When Your Smile Needs Additional Care
Even with excellent preventive habits, teeth can become damaged by decay, injury or everyday wear.
At Modern Family Dentistry of Oak Hill, our dentists provide restorative treatments designed to preserve natural teeth and restore comfortable function whenever possible.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include:
- Tooth-colored fillings: Repair cavities and certain minor tooth fractures using natural-looking composite resin.
- Dental crowns: Restore teeth weakened by large fillings, fractures or extensive damage.
- Root canal therapy: Treat certain inflamed or infected teeth while helping preserve natural tooth structure.
- Dental bridges and implants: Replace missing teeth and restore chewing function.
- Dentures: Provide removable tooth replacement options for patients with multiple missing teeth.
Dr. Maggie Sharfae provides root canal treatment, while Dr. Benjamin Sharfae provides dental implant placement and dentures. Both dentists offer a wide range of restorative services.

Emergency Dental Care for Your Family

Our practice evaluates urgent dental concerns such as:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Lost fillings or crowns
- Swelling or suspected dental infections
- Dental injuries
If you or a family member experiences an urgent dental problem, contact our office to discuss symptoms and appointment availability.

Gentle Dental Care for Patients With Dental Anxiety
We understand that some patients feel nervous about visiting the dentist, particularly if they have experienced discomfort during previous treatment or have avoided dental care for several years.
Our dentists take time to listen to your concerns, explain procedures and help you feel informed about your treatment.
Our practice also offers sedation dentistry for appropriately selected patients who need additional help managing dental anxiety. Our team can explain the available comfort options during your appointment.
We believe that building trust and maintaining open communication are important parts of providing comfortable family dental care.
