Why People 💛 Seneca Family Dentistry

Julia C.



I have a tremendous fear of having my teeth worked on. I came in today for a cleaning, and the ladies at the front desk did a lot to work with my insurance, and were able to get me scheduled very promptly. Monica was my hygienist, and she absolutely put me at ease. She talked to me about what she was doing and there were no surprises at any point. I met with Dr. Macy to set up a treatment plan, and I feel good about coming back to see it through.

Seneca is a group of terrific people with bright smiles welcoming you with warmth and hospitality at each dental visit. Once in the chair you feel confident in the skills of Dr Tanaka and his team of hygienists. Look no further for a dentist for the whole family.

Definitely recommend! I fell asleep during a root canal! The staff is super friendly also. Always fast. Always clean. This is my forever dentist!

I love these people. I'm not just a patient. They are all my friends. Thank you for making my smile brighter and Marilyn I promise to continue to do better. See you in December!

For the last few cleanings I’ve been going to see Dr. T. I had a cavity filled and like most people, I dreaded going. Dr and his team made me feel comfortable and gave me a few breaks as needed. I would recommend his office to family and friends!

Tina H.



Dr. And the entirety of the staff are truly caring and lovely people. They are very professional and positive, and the work is spectacular. I've been to too many dentists in my life and by far he's spot on and detail minded.

Michael B.



This dentist is super popular. The staff was there the whole step. The phone kept ringing. I felt real lucky to be there that day. None of the staff had attitudes. They were very professional. I recommend them.

Tonni M.



It took maybe 2 visits before they knew me on a 1st name basis. I was greeted by my name and not just another customer. I'm one of the few I'm sure who love going to the dentist but feeling like part of the "family" makes it so much better!

Zielke P.



Seneca Family Dentistry was recommended to me by a friend and I'm glad he did, because the hospitality of the staff here is exceptional. Dr. Tanaka and his staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. I highly recommend this dental office if you're not happy with your current healthcare provider.

Dr. Tanaka will take care of your dental worries. Had a horrible toothache so I went in and he took care of it. His referrals are good too. Friendly staff!

Deborah T.



Dr Travis was very professional and kept me updated throughout the procedures that I have had here over the past few weeks. He explains things well so that you can make an informed decision. The assistants and support staff were kind also. They are flexible with rescheduling if you call ahead. I initially started coming here because of the location and my time constraints but will keep coming because of the service I’ve received.

Maggie R.



I went in today to have an abscessed tooth removed. I have the biggest fear of the dentist and have been deal with this tooth for years. Dr. Tanaka and his staff were wonderful. They made me feel at ease and the whole procedure went quick! I'll definitely be going back for regular cleanings from now on (and it's been years since ive.done regular cleanings and preventative maintenance)! Very pleased!

Lynn W.



Wow, I had an awesome experience from start to finish! This is a caring group of people, the doctor was friendly and professional, and it is a very comfortable office. Dr. Tanaka and his staff were amazing and made what could have been a tough visit much easier! I won't be going anywhere else. Thanks for a wonderful dental visit!

Do I Need to See the Dentist?

Accidents happen, and dental emergencies can occur when we least expect them. It can also be difficult to know when it’s important to see the dentist right away. Common dental injuries and emergencies include:
‍
‍Toothaches: Intense and persistent toothaches can be caused by tooth decay, infections, or a dental abscess.
‍Chipped or Broken Teeth: Accidents or trauma can cause chips or fractures in your teeth, leading to pain and sensitivity.
‍Knocked-out Teeth: A knocked-out tooth requires immediate attention to increase the chances of successful reattachment.
‍Lost Dental Restorations: If a filling or crown becomes dislodged, it can cause discomfort and vulnerability to the affected tooth.
‍Severe Gum Bleeding: Uncontrolled gum bleeding may result from injuries or advanced gum disease.
‍Abscesses: A painful dental abscess can develop due to infections deep within the tooth or gum.

What to Do During a Dental Emergency

During a dental emergency, it's essential to stay calm and take appropriate actions to minimize pain and potential damage. Here are some steps you can take before reaching our dental office:

‍Toothaches: Rinse your mouth with warm water, gently floss to remove any trapped debris, and apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce swelling.
‍Chipped or Broken Teeth: Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and gather any broken tooth fragments if possible.
‍Knocked-out Teeth: Handle the tooth by the crown (the chewing surface) and gently rinse it with water. Try to place the tooth back into its socket or store it in a container of milk or saliva to keep it moist.

Lost Dental Restorations: Apply dental wax or sugarless gum to the exposed tooth surface to protect it until you can see the dentist.
‍Severe Gum Bleeding: Rinse your mouth with a mixture of warm water and salt and apply gentle pressure with a moistened gauze or tea bag to the bleeding area.

Remember, seeking professional dental care as soon as possible is crucial during a dental emergency. Contact Seneca Family Dentistry immediately, and our skilled dentist will provide prompt attention and relief.

How Dental Emergencies Are Treated

Pain Relief

The first priority during a dental emergency is to alleviate your pain and discomfort. Our dentist will quickly assess the situation, diagnose the problem, and administer the appropriate pain relief measures. This may include prescribing pain medication, applying local anesthesia, or recommending over-the-counter pain relievers.

Chipped Tooth Repair

For chipped or broken teeth, our skilled dentists will assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action. Minor chips may be repaired using dental bonding or veneers, while more substantial fractures may require dental crowns for added strength and protection.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are versatile restorations that can be used to repair and strengthen damaged or weakened teeth. Our dentist may recommend dental crowns for cases involving severe tooth decay, fractures, or large fillings that compromise the tooth's integrity. Crowns are custom-made to match your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.

Root Canals

A root canal may be necessary if a dental emergency involves severe tooth pain or a dental abscess. During this procedure, our dentist will remove the infected pulp from the tooth, clean and disinfect the root canal, and then seal it with a filling material. Root canals effectively alleviate pain, save the natural tooth, and prevent the need for extraction.

Tooth Extractions

In some cases, a dental emergency may necessitate tooth extraction, particularly if the tooth is severely damaged or cannot be saved. Our dentist performs tooth extractions with precision and care, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. We also offer various tooth replacement options, such as dental implants and dentures, to restore your smile and oral function.

The Top 3 Reasons to See the Dentist During a Dental Emergency

You might think your condition can wait, but it’s better to see the dentist as soon as possible. Time is of the essence and can be the difference between saving a tooth and losing it. Here are the top three reasons to call Seneca Family Dentistry when you experience a dental emergency:

Prompt Pain Relief

Dental emergencies can cause excruciating pain, disrupting your daily life and well-being. Seeking emergency dental care allows us to provide immediate pain relief and address the underlying issue to prevent further discomfort.

Prevent Further Damage

Dental emergencies left untreated can lead to more significant problems down the line. By seeing the dentist promptly, we can assess the extent of the injury or condition and provide the appropriate treatment to prevent further damage to your teeth and oral health.

Preserve Your Smile

Our priority during dental emergencies is to preserve your natural teeth and oral structures. Seeking emergency care can make a significant difference in saving a knocked-out tooth or repairing a chipped tooth, ensuring you maintain a beautiful and healthy smile.

Our Commitment to Your Comfort

We believe in creating a soothing atmosphere for our patients. When you enter our office, you'll be greeted by a warm and friendly team who genuinely cares about your well-being. Our relaxing patient amenities and cutting-edge dental technology are designed to make your dental visits stress-free and enjoyable.
