About Family Dentistry
Welcome to Family Dentistry in Reading, PA
At Family Dentistry, we’re more than just a dentist’s office—we’re a team dedicated to making every patient feel at home from the moment they walk through our doors. Conveniently located in the heart of Reading, PA, our practice seamlessly blends warm, professional care with the latest dental techniques. Whether you’re seeking a routine cleaning or require urgent attention, you’ll discover why generations of families trust us with their smiles.
Friendly, Professional Staff
From the friendly greeting at the front desk to the skilled hands of our clinical team, every member of Family Dentistry prides themselves on genuine warmth and professionalism. “She has been amazing and the staff are always very friendly and accommodating,” one patient raved after a routine visit. Our receptionists streamline your arrival, answer questions with a smile, and walk you through insurance or billing inquiries. Throughout your appointment, our hygienists and dentists maintain an approachable, reassuring demeanor—ensuring you always feel heard and comfortable.
Gentle, High-Quality Care
We understand that dental visits can provoke anxiety, which is why our clinicians emphasize a gentle, patient-centered approach. “Cleaning was pain free,” shared one relieved patient, while another marveled, “Zero pain during and after extraction.” Dr. Chen, in particular, has earned accolades for her calm technique, patient education, and thoughtful follow-up calls. And when it comes to routine cleanings, Hygienist Melissa leads the way: “She walked me through every step and frequently checked if I was comfortable.” This emphasis on comfort and clear communication transforms even complex procedures into stress-free experiences.
Rapid Emergency & Same-Day Appointments
Dental emergencies don’t wait for your convenience, so neither do we. Whether you’re battling a sudden toothache or need an urgent extraction, our team is ready to help—often on the very same day you call. As one patient celebrated, “She called me back about 10 minutes later to say I could be seen that morning!” Janet, our dedicated scheduler, goes the extra mile to find you the earliest available slot, alleviating pain and anxiety without delay.
Streamlined Visits & Minimal Wait Times
Your time is invaluable, and at Family Dentistry, we respect it. Our efficient check-in and treatment workflows ensure you spend more time receiving care and less time sitting in a waiting room. “There was no waiting for my appointment,” noted a satisfied visitor, while another commented on their swift crown replacement: “Quick and efficient…they did a great job.” By harnessing an organized scheduling system and modern treatment protocols, we keep every appointment on track and every patient on schedule.
Transparent Pricing & Billing Guidance
We believe trust extends beyond chairside manner to clear, straightforward billing. Many patients commend the value they receive, yet we acknowledge that dental insurance and coding can sometimes lead to unexpected charges. If questions arise—like unanticipated X-ray fees—our team is committed to explaining your options and helping you understand coverage details. We’ll work with you to find financial solutions, so you can focus on your smile without worrying about the bill.
Continuity of Care & Lasting Relationships
At Family Dentistry, relationships matter. Long-time patients appreciate seeing familiar faces at every visit—whether it’s Dr. Kieffer, Dr. Chen, or a trusted hygienist. Consistency fosters comfort, and we strive to maintain your preferred care team whenever possible. We recognize that occasional staff changes can feel unsettling, and we value patient feedback to ensure smooth transitions. Our goal is to create a family-like atmosphere where every smile receives attentive, personalized care.
Convenient Location & Improved Signage
Finding us is easier than ever. Thanks to our newly enhanced signage, you’ll spot our building from the street and feel confident in your arrival. Early visitors sometimes noted initial difficulty locating us, but after one tour with our front-desk team—“Being new to the area…spoke with Janet”—they discovered how simple the journey truly is.
