What Is Family Dentistry?
Family dentistry is a comprehensive approach to oral health that provides care for patients of every age, from toddlers getting their first teeth to seniors who need restorative treatments. By bringing your household to one trusted Bloomington office, you can enjoy:
Convenience: We can coordinate scheduling for your entire family at one convenient Bloomington office location.
Continuity of Care: We can track your child’s growth and your family’s dental history over the years to ensure consistent treatment.
Comfort & Trust: Seeing familiar faces at each visit helps children and adults alike feel at ease. We know your name when you visit.
Starting dental visits early establishes lifelong oral health habits. Our dentists and hygienists love to make appointments positive and educational for children. For seniors, we provide attentive care and customized solutions for concerns such as gum disease, tooth loss, or TMJ disorder.

Time for Your Child’s First Appointment?

Starting dental visits early helps your child build healthy habits and feel comfortable in the dental chair for life. At Wyse Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Bloomington, we recommend scheduling a first visit by age one or within six months of that first tooth.
Our friendly team loves welcoming young patients! We take extra time to explain each step, show them the tools, and make the experience fun and stress-free. We have TVs in the treatment rooms, offer gentle care, and always keep a smile to help children see the dentist as a positive part of growing up.
Let us help you plan your child’s first appointment and give them the best start toward a lifetime of healthy teeth.
Easy Affordability and Financing
Cost should never stand in the way of excellent dental care. Our Bloomington office accepts most major dental insurance plans, and our team can help you navigate your benefits to maximize coverage.
For treatments not fully covered by insurance, like Invisalign, we also accept CareCredit® financing. You can split expenses into manageable monthly payments with low or even zero interest.
We want to make it simple for every family in Bloomington and Champaign to maintain excellent oral health.
A Focus on Comfort & Convenience
A visit to the dentist should be as stress-free as possible, so we build comfort into every detail:
Sedation Dentistry: We offer safe sedation options for patients with dental anxiety, sensitive gag reflexes, or trouble sitting still.
Inviting Office Amenities: Sip coffee or water in our cozy waiting room. Enjoy soothing décor and TVs in each treatment room.
Flexible Scheduling: We’re no strangers to busy family calendars. We can work with you to arrange appointments that fit school, work, and extracurricular activities.
