Compassionate, Comprehensive Dental Care for All Ages
Finding a dental home that caters to the needs of every family member—whether it's a child getting their first check-up or a senior maintaining long-term oral health—shouldn’t be complicated. At Chips Dental Associates, our commitment to family dentistry ensures that patients of all ages receive expert, personalized care under one roof.
Our dual-location practice in Gibsonia and Pittsburgh is designed to make your family’s dental experience convenient, efficient, and rooted in long-term trust.
What Is Family Dentistry?
Family dentistry is a comprehensive approach to oral care that spans every stage of life. Unlike pediatric or geriatric specialists, family dentists provide ongoing care for children, teens, adults, and seniors—monitoring oral development, maintaining dental health, and treating a wide range of conditions.
Our general dentistry services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each family member and often include:
- Routine exams and dental cleanings
- Children’s dentistry
- Cavity prevention with fluoride treatments
- Tooth-colored dental fillings
- Education on brushing, flossing, and diet for long-term dental wellness
Why Families Choose Chips Dental Associates
Families throughout the North Hills of Pittsburgh and the Gibsonia area have trusted us for generations. We take pride in nurturing smiles from the very first baby tooth to adulthood and beyond. Here’s why families keep coming back:
- All-in-one care: From baby’s first visit to restorative solutions for aging adults, we do it all in-house
- Flexible appointments: Early mornings and late evenings at both locations accommodate your family’s schedule
- Continuity of care: Our multi-generational practice builds lifelong patient relationships
- Modern tools: Technology like digital x-rays and intraoral cameras helps us catch issues early
We also emphasize education—equipping families with the tools and information needed to maintain excellent oral health at home.
Preventive Care Is the Foundation of a Healthy Family Smile
Prevention is at the heart of our family dentistry philosophy. Regular checkups allow us to spot small issues before they become major problems. During your visit, we may recommend preventive services like:
- Dental sealants for children to block out cavity-causing bacteria
- Oral cancer screenings for adults
- Occlusal and sports guards to protect teeth during activities
Emergency Care for the Unexpected
Toothaches, injuries, or broken restorations can’t wait. Our team provides same-day support for dental emergencies, ensuring your family has a trusted provider when urgent dental care is needed.
A Holistic Approach to Lifetime Oral Health
Our dentists—led by Dr. Timothy Chips, Dr. John Chips, and Dr. Lutfiie—understand that every life stage brings unique dental needs. That’s why we provide everything from gentle pediatric care to root canals and dental implants for aging adults—all under one roof.
We also work with families on long-term treatment planning, which might include:
- Invisalign clear aligners for teens and adults
- Smile makeovers for parents looking to boost confidence
- All-on-X dental implants for full-arch restoration
