Family Dentistry

Elmwood Dental is the leading provider of a full range of innovative, high quality dental services that maintain good oral health, maximize dental function and improve the patient's quality of life and appearance. We help our patients achieve their dental health goals in a warm, supportive and professional environment.

For over thirty years, Elmwood Dental Group has helped set the bar for quality dental care. Founded in 1977 by Dr. Frank LaMar, Sr., the practice quickly established a reputation for professionalism with honest, comprehensive, compassionate care at the absolute highest level. Raised on this tradition of excellence, brothers Dr. Jim and Dr. Frank LaMar joined their father in practice in 1991 and 1992 respectively, making it a true family practice. Today, our caring and knowledgeable team of doctors, hygienists, and staff carry on this legacy of excellence. We seek out the most current continuing education training, employ the finest bio-materials, and the latest technology to meet and exceed the needs of our patients and their families. As it was in 1977, we are NOT a fast paced, insurance driven practice. We take the time necessary to reach the optimal result desired for each unique individual. We enjoy knowing our patients and their families, respect and honor the privilege of the doctor patient relationship and strive to grow our practice one trusted referral at a time.

Elmwood Dental Groups Family practice is conveniently located at 1950 Clinton Ave South, facing Clinton Ave in the Brighton Lac De Ville Tops Plaza. Patients are welcomed to our warm, inviting office being greeted by one of our accommodating front desk staff, quickly checked in and provided any necessary paperwork. From their patients and loved ones may enjoy a brief wait in our spacious and comfortable waiting room, offering current reading material and multi-media.

Each of our seven dental operatory suites is well stocked with the latest dental bio-materials and technology to provide the safest, most comfortable, and thorough treatments available. We employ the safest low radiation digital radiology equipment available as well as digital record keeping, high definition intra-oral cameras, E4D digital impression system and a state of the art sterilization center to ensure your peace of mind that you are receiving not only the best treatment, but that it is in the cleanest, safest, most sterile environment possible.

Our six hygiene rooms employ the same digital technology and latest in preventive oral cancer screening, patient educational tools, ZOOM! tooth-whitening, sonicare and prescription strength preventive products, even Bio-Lase soft tissue lasers for painless and conservative non-surgical periodontal treatment. Our hygiene wing also employs its own sterilization center, again ensuring we not only meet OSHA standards for healthcare providers but exceed your every expectation for cleanliness and sterility.

Behind the scenes, knowledgeable lab technicians work in our state of the art in-house dental lab and two additional mini-labs, providing us the ability to communicate seamlessly between you the patient and the laboratory.

So what can you expect as a new patient at Elmwood Dental Group’s Family Practice? We look forward to welcoming you to a warm and inviting family atmosphere. After a brief introduction to our office manager, Karen Curcio, you will be introduced to your Doctor and the dental assistant. They will listen to your concerns and experiences before conducting a thorough exam, any necessary low radiation digital x-rays, and take the time to discuss with you all findings, treatment and preventive options, and a review of any relevant patient education. At Elmwood Dental Group’s family practice, we pride ourselves on receiving the latest training in the best techniques and technology available in order to offer a wide range of in-house comprehensive treatment including basic cleanings, periodontal therapy, fillings, root canal treatment, crown and bridge work, partial and complete dentures, implant restorations, oral surgery, TMJ, and for your little ones, pediatric dentistry.
