About Family Dentistry of Lakewood
Same-day, in-office milled crowns and nitrous oxide options make this a practical choice for anxious patients who want efficient care from Dr. Jutric.
Family Dentistry of Lakewood is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign and retainers, though most reviews focus on general care. Reviewers highlight Dr. Jutric's gentle, unhurried approach and his use of in-office crown-milling technology that can complete a crown in a single visit rather than requiring a return trip. Several patients mention driving well beyond their local area to keep seeing him, and anxious or fearful patients note that nitrous and other calming measures help them get through appointments. A number of reviews also mention transferring here after a previous dentist, including one from Bate's Dental, closed or retired.

Family Dentistry of Lakewood, is absolutely the best place for dental care. Staff are professional and friendly. Honestly, atmosphere is like family. The care is the best ever and they go above and beyond to ensure your dental needs are met with the utmost attention to detail. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.

I have dental anxiety but I don’t need my meds before going to Family Dentistry. There is no judgement - they just take care of me! The staff is professional, efficient and I always have a pleasant experience.

This was my first visit to this dentist. I received all my paperwork through text so I wouldn't have to do it in the waiting room Everyone that I met were very upbeat and happy. All my questions were answered without hesitation. I actually enjoyed my visit with this dentist and the staff that I met.
