We are open - safety is our top priority!
Achieving a glowing, pain-free smile is possible with regular visits to a general dentist in Shelton. Routine dental exams and cleanings are the best line of defense against serious dental problems.
What Is a General Dentist Today?
General dentists are responsible for providing comprehensive dental care to patients of all ages. These dentists focus on several areas of dentistry instead of specializing in one field. Typically, your family dentist is the dental professional you see most often for your oral care needs. At your general dental office, you can receive a variety of services that help protect your teeth and gums.
What Services Are Offered at a General Dentistry Office?
Family dentists provide routine dental services, including tooth cleanings, treatment for gum disease, and restorations. These general dentistry services are essential when it comes to preserving the health of your teeth. General dentists can also treat common dental health issues like toothaches and cavities. If you’re ready to achieve your healthiest smile, call us today to book an appointment.
General Dental Services
With regular visits to our dentist general practice, you can achieve a healthy smile that’s free of discomfort. Here are the general dentistry services we currently offer to patients:
How Often Should I See a Dentist?
Many patients ask us, “How often should I see a general dentist near me?” While the answer will vary depending on the condition of your teeth, most healthy patients will only need to see a general dentist every six months.
How Much Does a Dental Appointment Cost?
Every patient is different, therefore, the charges for a general dentist visit will vary from person to person. Your total charges will depend on the treatments you receive and whether you have insurance coverage.
Why Should I See a Dentist?
Dental health is an important aspect of overall wellness. Not only does taking care of your teeth and gums prevent oral health problems, it also decreases the risk of stroke, diabetes, and other medical conditions that are affected by gum disease. Give us a call today to set up your appointment.
How Long Does a Dental Cleaning Last?
If you practice great oral health habits at home, it’s possible that your dental cleaning will only last for 30 minutes. However, those who require more intensive cleanings may need a longer appointment.
Preparing for Your Next Dental Visit
Being prepared for your appointment can help you feel more relaxed. Bring with you as much information about your health history and insurance as you can, and arrive at our office on time. Give us a call if you have any questions about preparing for your visit.
What Happens When You Don’t Visit the Dentist?
Neglecting your dental health can lead to severe dental issues that are expensive and time-consuming to fix. Regular exams prevent the need for extensive dental work since problems are detected and treated early. With routine exams and cleanings from our general family dentistry office, you can save time and money on long-term dental care.

Our patients leave smiling
I have been a patient of Dr. Sal for over 35 years! He is terrific, always puts me at ease and works with my other physical issues to make me comfortable. All staff from my hygienist (Alisha), to (Laura) dental assistant to the office staff have always been extremely kind and friendly. No matter how far or near I have worked I have always stayed with Dr. Sal and Huntington Family Dental … TH…
Debra B.
Dr Sal is the best! Always a good experience and great results. Dental hygienist Laura was awesome, too.
Sanna-Maria J.
Greeted by Laura in the waiting room. Had Maria for a thorough cleaning. Exam from Dr. Sal. Insurance and fee discussion with Marie and Francesca. From start to finish, the experience was warm and professional. And that is exactly why I have been going to Huntington Family Dental for 40 years.
Paul M.
Fabulous! I was so anxious about my oral surgery yesterday and was very impressed with the chairside manner and skills of Dr. Art Adams! He and his team were angels sent from above! He called me last evening to check on me and again offered his home phone number if I needed him…very impressive! I highly recommend Dr.Adams for any periodontal surgery or care.
Maryjane P.

To much good stuff to say about this group… no longer do I say I hate going to the dentist. Last dental group I went to wanted to was quick to recommend an expensive solution… Huntington Family Dental said I needed to improve my home care (better brush and floss) to get healthy gums before I cold proceed. 100% looking out for my best interest!

We’ve been going to Huntington Family Dental since we moved to Shelton 8 years ago, and we love them so much that we plan to continue using them even though we’re moving to Monroe soon. We’ve never felt that they’ve tried to oversell us on services or tried to get us to do anything we didn’t need. We also started taking our kids to them when they were around 1 (they&#…

I came for my first visit frantic upon losing my crown. My regular dentist was unavailable so I was referred to Huntington Dental Group. The staff took a stressful situation and brought me ease and peace. They were professional yet warm as if reuniting with friends helping you through a hard time. They were gentle when letting me know the route of action would be extraction and they were efficient…

After neglecting dental visits for years due to chronic pain from degenerative disc disease and fear I somehow found HFDG and its been the best dental experience of my life for the last 5 years. Top notch dentistry and state of the art equipment at its finest, but the sincerity and care for the patient’s total trust and comfort can’t be taught or bought, it comes from the soul. Dr. Sal…

Thanks to Maria–a great hygienist! And my congratulations to the staff for hiring the new Indian physician who examined me, very professional, and friendly. I was even able to share with her about our Indian brothers and sisters and what important roles they played in our lives.
Stephen T.
Very pleasant and professional experience. (My review of a previous visit that was more negative now appears to have been an isolated personnel issue.)
Herb S.
I am a always treated with great respect and care at HFDG . I was made very comfortable. Each step of the procedure was explained to me and Dr Sal has magic hands and he is compassionate to my apprehensions. Together Dr Sal and his assistant are a great team and asset to HFDG

They are so great with both of my girls! I often go for my appointment’s with both kids and the staff is so understanding and helpful with the kids while I get my teeth cleaned. The kids love going and are never afraid of their visits, I attribute this to the fact that everyone there has a great bedside manor. Couldn’t be happier with this practice.

I cannot say enough good things about the HFDG. Everyone is exceptionally helpful – from the front office staff to the back office (hygienists, etc.) staff. I always appreciate the way in which everyone treats me – and continue to do so. While I know all the hygienists are highly experienced, I am seen by RoDonna Kokenos who is not only a top-notch dental hygienist (I always come away…

Always a great time for me! LOL – I actually look forward to my visits. I try to maintain the same hygienist, as that allows a continuity of care, and I have to say, my hygienist is fantastic!
Michael K.
Have gone to this group for about thirty years. Have gone to others, they do not hold a candle to HFG. Maria the hygienist is the best and should be made a partner. Very perky, very caring and very, very good at what she does.

Jocelyn B.
Entirely pleasant and painless `removal’ for a crown. I deeply appreciated Dr. Sal’s check-up call around dinner time the same day, to see how I was doing. That was particularly thoughtful, especially coming from their busy office at the end of a long day for the dentists and staff. I always get excellent care from the Huntington Family Dental Group. Sincerely, Diane K R Jowdy

The staff is very friendly. I didn’t wait any longer than 5 minutes before I was taken in the back for my cleaning. Doctors there are great and very thorough, I would recommend them to whoever is looking for a good dentist.
Laura D.
My hygenist today was Angela. She was professional; she listened to my concerns conveyed them to Dr. Greg, and he was able to make recommendations based on his exam and her input. They worked well as a team. The entire office staff is welcoming, concerned, and always courteous and professional.
