Medically reviewed by Dr. Craig Baker, DMD · General Dentist · AACD Member · Last reviewed Family dentistry at Baker Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is the day-to-day work that prevents bigger problems: routine hygiene, exams that catch decay early, sealants for new molars, fluoride for at-risk teeth, fillings before a tooth needs a crown, and gum care before recession sets in. We handle the full range under one roof so household appointments can stack on the same day.
Twice-yearly hygiene visits with a comprehensive exam, oral cancer screening, and bitewing radiographs at the cadence your insurance covers. We move at your pace — no rushing children or older patients.
Tooth-colored composite fillings for new decay, crowns for compromised teeth, and bridges where a tooth needs to be replaced quickly. Conservative removal of healthy tooth structure is the philosophy of the practice.
Standard prophy cleanings, scaling and root planing for early gum disease, and perio maintenance for patients in active periodontal therapy. Dr. Perera reviews complex cases.
Plastic sealants on first and second molars (around ages 6 and 12) reduce cavity risk on chewing surfaces by ~80%. Fluoride varnish at every preventive visit when indicated.
We see patients from their first tooth onward. First visits are short and gentle; we narrate everything in age-appropriate language and let kids see the instruments before we use them.
Stacking parent + kid appointments back-to-back is the most-requested logistical favor — call (727) 531-4462 and we will block the chairs side-by-side.
Dr. Craig Baker (DMD, AACD member, University of Florida College of Dentistry) leads the family-dentistry side, with Dr. Cecilia Perera (board-certified periodontist) handling any periodontal escalations from routine hygiene.
