Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth eruption.

During the first visit, the dentist will examine your child’s mouth, gums, and teeth, checking for any signs of decay or abnormalities. They will also discuss proper oral hygiene practices and address any questions or concerns you may have.

Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent cavities. They are often recommended for children as an extra layer of protection against tooth decay, especially in hard-to-reach areas.

Prolonged pacifier use or thumb sucking can affect the alignment of your child’s teeth and the development of their jaw. If these habits persist beyond infancy, they may lead to orthodontic issues. Your dentist can provide guidance on how to help your child break these habits if necessary.

Encouraging good oral hygiene habits, such as regular brushing and flossing, limiting sugary snacks and drinks, and scheduling routine dental check-ups, are crucial for cavity prevention. Additionally, applying dental sealants and fluoride treatments can provide added protection against decay.

    I had a great experience with Dr. Hartman. I am usually very nervous during dental visits, but Dr. Hartman was very patient and gentle. He ensures his patients are comfortable and answers all questions.

    Dr. Hartman did my cleaning so they could get me in faster even though the hygienists were booked. He and Jami were very personable, informative, and encouraging. I hadn't been to the dentist in a while and they didn't judge or make me feel bad. I will continue to go to Como Park Dental for my dentistry needs.

    This was my first visit and I'm very happy I found them. Personable desk staff and dentist, excellent hygienist, and they have a great promo for brand new patients...an all inclusive price for the cleaning, exam, and ex-rays to get you started. The online form submission prior to the appointment was quite simple as well. Five stars for a very great first impression.

    These guys are ALL! AWESOME!! Few months ago I had a bad tooth. My wife called and they got me in for a quick look the next morning. And ended up needing to be pulled. They got me back at the end of the same day to pull the tooth. Then made an appt for 12/26/23 for a routine exam etc.. since I only had the bad tooth taken care of previously. I needed a deep cleaning and I was worried my wife may lose her Dental insurance. So, these wonderful folks got me in the the next morning 12/27/23 to do a deep cleaning. Great Atmosphere. Lots of Laughter and friendliness. Warm greeting. Just Great! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND COMO PARK DENTISTRY

    Everyone there was so helpful and kind! I drove 3 hours because nobody else in my area was able to see me last minute. I am even considering making them my primary dentist, it would be worth the drive. I can't thank them enough, the locals are very lucky to have such an awesome dentist!
