What Is Family Dentistry?
Family dentistry means having one trusted office that can meet the needs of your entire household. At our Wilmington, DE dental practice, we combine preventive, restorative, and cosmetic treatments under one roof, so you don’t need to travel elsewhere for care.
Preventive visits are the foundation of a healthy smile. We recommend biannual exams and cleanings to remove plaque, check for early signs of decay, and screen for gum disease. Children benefit from fluoride treatments and dental sealants that guard against cavities, while adults gain peace of mind knowing their oral health is monitored closely.
Restorative Dentistry for Every Age
Even with the best preventive care, dental problems can occur. We offer tooth-colored fillings to repair cavities discreetly, and dental crowns or bridges to restore function and strength. For more advanced cases, root canal therapy can save natural teeth, while extractions are performed gently when necessary.
If you’re missing teeth, we provide a variety of replacement options, including traditional dentures, implant restorations, and All-on-4 dental implants for full-arch support. These treatments help restore both your smile and your confidence.

I had a wonderful dental visit today with Dr. G. He is just great. He takes his time to explain everything that you need and what he is doing that visit. I travel two hours just to see Dr. G and it is worth the drive. The staff is always pleasant and professional!! I encourage anyone who reads this review to set up an appointment. You will not be disappointed!!! Looking forward to my next visit.

Dr Goodling and his team are the best! Been going there for a long time and now both of my kids go there too. Carine is so good with my kids, they actually look forward to going to the dentist every time. Jen takes care of me and she’s is awesome! I love talking with her and she makes me laugh. Always a great experience every time we go!
– Thomas B.
Today was my first visit at Dr. Goodling’s office. The staff and dentist were absolutely amazing. I had a bad experience at my last dentist, which caused me to not search for a new dentist until I ended up in pain. This dentist took all of my anxieties away immediately. The staff were compassionate, listened and answered questions without feeling rushed. I am so glad to finally find a great place like this.

Healthy Gums, Healthy Smiles
Gum health is just as important as tooth health. Our periodontal services include scaling and root planing, gum disease maintenance, and advanced therapies designed to stop infection before it can spread. Protecting your gums protects your whole smile.
Cosmetic & Orthodontic Care
Family dentistry also includes helping you love how your smile looks. We provide professional teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding to improve appearance, along with Invisalign clear aligners for straighter teeth. These services ensure that your family can enjoy both healthy and attractive smiles.
Emergency & Sedation Dentistry
When urgent problems arise, we make ourselves available the same day for emergency appointments. Whether you’re facing a severe toothache or a broken tooth, we’ll provide fast, effective care.
For patients who feel nervous about dental visits, we offer sedation dentistry. Options like nitrous oxide or oral medication can help you stay relaxed and comfortable during treatment.
