Family Dentistry in Rochester Hills

The core of Dr. Aurelia’s practice is family dentistry. Patients of all ages and stages are welcome at his practice, and he helps many families maintain excellent oral health with general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry.

Children are an exciting addition to Dr. Aurelia’s practice and bring wonderful energy into the office. Children adjust well to the environment as we acclimate them to the experience and make it a non-threatening process. Making their first experience at the dentist’s office a positive one is essential in easing fears or anxieties associated with the dentist’s chair. Many children enjoy watching their parents undergo treatment first and then are excited to have their own turn in the dentist’s chair. We provide toys for children after they undergo an appointment to give them something to look forward to each and every time they visit.
