Serving Palm Beach
A thorough first exam often catches what a quick glance misses: early decay between teeth, gum changes that cause no pain yet, or a worn bite that hints at nighttime grinding. At Family Dental Care, that careful starting point shapes everything we do for patients and families in Palm Beach. Our team, led by Michael C. Westcott, DDS, and Sujay Trivedi, DMD, provides integrative, multidisciplinary dental care from our state-of-the-art office in West Palm Beach. That means many Palm Beach residents can keep routine cleanings, specialized treatment, and urgent care under one roof.
Your first appointment with us is a conversation as much as an examination. We begin with a dental exam and dental cleaning with our hygienist. We also do cavity detection and an oral cancer screening, a simple check that is easy to overlook but valuable for adults of every age. We look at your teeth, gums, and bite together, because a problem in one area often affects the others.
From there, we explain what we found in plain language. If everything looks healthy, we talk about keeping it that way with preventive options like fluoride treatment and dental sealants, or a night mouth guard if we see signs of grinding. If something needs attention, we walk you through your choices so you can make decisions without feeling rushed. Many Palm Beach families tell us that unhurried explanation is what they value most.
Because our practice brings several areas of dentistry together, your treatment plan can grow with your needs rather than sending you across town. Our care includes:
- Restorative care: fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and composite bonding
- Root canal therapy for front teeth, premolars, and molars, plus treatment for cracked teeth and root canal retreatment
- Gum health: scaling and root planing, gum grafting, gingivectomy, crown lengthening, and periodontal maintenance
- Tooth replacement: dental implants, implant-supported bridges and dentures, snap-in dentures, All-on-X, and complete or partial dentures
- Oral surgery: simple and surgical extractions, wisdom teeth removal, and bone grafting
- Cosmetic options: in-office and take-home whitening, porcelain and composite veneers, gum contouring, and Digital Smile Design
- Orthodontics: clear aligners, including Invisalign, for both children and adults
For more involved cases, such as full mouth reconstruction or rehabilitation, we coordinate complex treatment planning across specialties. Several of these services, including endodontic, periodontal, prosthodontic, and surgical care, are available without a referral. For patients who feel anxious, we offer oral sedation to help appointments feel more manageable.
Care for Every Generation in Palm Beach
Families choose us because parents, grandparents, and kids can often be seen in the same practice. Parents are welcome in the treatment room during their child's visit. We also treat children with special healthcare needs, adapting each appointment to what helps that child feel comfortable.
Adults appreciate that one office can handle a routine cleaning one month and a cosmetic smile-design consultation the next. If you already wear dentures, we can repair or replace them. If you finished orthodontic treatment with another provider, we can provide new retainers. That continuity means our team gets to know your history over time.
After Treatment and When the Unexpected Happens
Good results last when aftercare is consistent. After gum treatment, we schedule periodontal maintenance visits to keep inflammation under control. After implant placement, we provide implant maintenance to protect your investment. After cosmetic work, we help you keep your smile bright with home care guidance and touch-up whitening options.
Dental emergencies rarely wait for a convenient time. We offer emergency dental appointments, including same-day emergency appointments for urgent endodontic needs such as severe toothaches, cracked teeth, and traumatic dental injuries. Both Dr. Westcott and Dr. Trivedi provide emergency dentistry, so Palm Beach patients have experienced help when they need it most.
Insurance, Payment, and Getting Started
We accept all major PPO insurance plans, and we file claims for you to keep the process simple. Our specialty services are filed as general practice claims, which can make coverage easier to understand. If you don't have dental insurance, we welcome self-pay patients and will review costs with you before treatment begins.
Getting started is easy. Contact our office to schedule a first exam and cleaning, or tell us if you have pain or an urgent concern so we can find the right appointment. Bring your insurance information and a list of any medications. We'll take it from there, one clear step at a time, for you and your family in Palm Beach.
