In 2003 I got my second set of dentures, now in 2025 I've just got my third set in my denture time. Of course in that time span there's facial changes. It's taking me a minute my top is fitting perfectly. I'm still working on the bottom. They are hitting areas that's not been touched in 22yrs, so there the getting used to the new set that's just normal. The staff is giving me all the adjustment time I've needing. They have been nothing less than very nice, cooperative to my needs to make my new dentures work for me. I highly recommend Today's Family Dental for you new set of dentures whether it's your first pair or the fifth. Thank you guy's very much.

This is the best dentist I have ever been to. They were able to get me in for an emergency appointment and then get me in the same week to finish the root canal.
I did not feel judged at all for not going to the dentist for years, and the dentist is nice, funny, and very direct which I really appreciate.
10/10 will recommend to anyone

Anxiety hits. As everyone, sacred of dentist. This was amazing!! First welcome, complete tour of all rooms. Met each employer, first name, a little about them. I felt like a new member of the family. Greeting, gift bag , more info and time for me questions in office. On down to examination room. So friendly talking, me through each exam. Questing me to see if I need any thing to make me more comfortable, not a rush in and out the door business.Wow, the y really cared. So thankful and blessed I found them, I no sweat down attacks. That is a first, they know me , I know them. My dentist work has a plan, so I know what happens on future visits. Got myself a new dental family. And I full of thankfulness for them all.

I recently had a new patient visit to this practice. As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the receptionist and invited to help myself to snacks and a drink. The waiting area was the most well decorated and inviting space I've seen. I was impressed that there was a toy/food drive happening. This practice seems to want to try to give back as much as they can to the community. The welcome gift bag was a lovely touch. Dr. Parikh was thorough and knowledgeable. I am looking forward to continuing my care here!
Frequently Asked Questions About Today's Family Dental General Dentistry
Why are my teeth sensitive?
Sensitive teeth often come from the fact that your gums have slightly receded. This recession of the gum line allows the underlying dentin to show through which allows water and food easier access to the sensitive nerve. To manage this, there are a number of toothpastes, gels and even some dental procedures that can be applied. Speak to us in more detail if you have very sensitive teeth.
What should I do to prevent gum disease and tooth decay?
