Services
For over four decades, compassion and family values have been the guiding principles of our practice. We will treat you like a member of our own family, delivering effective care for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Since we often treat several generations of the same family, we understand genetic conditions and treatments that have been effective in the past.
At the core of our dental practice is a friendly team of professionals that are dedicated to your utmost comfort and optimal oral health. We view each patient as a unique individual, and tailor each treatment to your specific needs. As part of our commitment to providing close, personalized attention to every patient, we want to encourage patient communication.
Tufton Family Dentistry offers comprehensive dental services, including preventive exams and cleanings. We like to see children beginning around age 1 or 2. At the first visit, we will simply brush your little one's teeth and help him or her become acclimated to the office. During future appointments, we can perform more thorough cleanings and check for signs of decay and misalignment.
A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions. Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet.
A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit. Examination of diagnostic X-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions. Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Great staff!!! I have always had a little anxiety going to the dentist!!! So instead of root canals , I just would say, just pull it that way I'll be done!! I regret getting my teeth pulled!!! It was a little emotional for me today, to really see how my teeth look in x-ray view....missing teeth....I Today was my first visit with Dr. Trufton...My mother and siblings are patients. I am so pleased with my service. It takes a while for me to get numb, when I need an extraction,always no matter where I have gone. But today I was okay. I've received a filling in the front side tooth it looks amazing

I started with Dr. Peter Tufton, in 2017. I had a bad infection and just in a horrific dental state. Dr. Peter, is a companionate man, who has empathy towards his patients. I have Fibromyalgia, and had several Dentists to deny treatment, because they wasn't experienced or treated someone with the illness, but not Dr. Peter, he didn't turned me away or recommend another Dentist, instead he welcomed me, gave me instructions on what he expected from me and told me what to expect from him. He started on a regimen to get me on the recovery to a heathy mouth, and due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the treatment

My family has been going to Dr Tufton for 40plus years. Always have a great experience.
When I first started, I was very afraid of dentistry. That ceased after my first visit! I will always be a patient of the Tufton Family Dentists. Dr Peter and Dr Michael are so personable and always take care of my issues!
The staff and dental assistants and hygienists are efficient and friendly. Thank you for taking great care of me and my family!

The entire experience was fantastic. I was very impressed with how both doctors introduced themselves, asked about goals, and didn't seem pushy with upgrades, etc. The staff was outstanding and extremely personable.
I always get nervous at the Denist and Dr. Michael was extremely easy to talk to...it seemed like I was talking to an old friend. Dr. Peter was very outgoing and made you feel very welcomed. Ms. Linda was the best and I can't rate her high enough!
I wish I had seen these guys all along...I will 💯 refer everyone to them. It truly is a family practice and they use the family mentality

I was at a lost when it came to my teeth and in constant pain for years. I have been to over 6 different dentist and gotten all kind of hope of what they were going to do but, nothing happened. From the first visit I was well taken care of. The Tufton Family Dentistry is a wonderful place to go. It was pretty much painless. In a month I have a beautiful smile that I want to show the world. Everytime I see my teeth I want to cry tears of joy. My self esteem is through the the roof.I'm so blessed to have met them and they fixed my teeth so beautifully. I never thought I could smile so big and freely
