Our Mission: To Create Lasting Smiles for Every Lititz Family

We will provide our dental services on a personal basis, be it child or adult, in a loving, directed, and purposeful manner. Individually, we will search out our personal balance and professional excellence so we may live our lives for your benefit and ours. Dr. John and Dr. Sara Gotwalt

Our family dentists in Lititz, PA, Dr. John and Dr. Sara Gotwalt, have been providing personalized, comprehensive dental care to patients and their families for over 35 years.

Family dentistry can often provide the foundation that young patients need to establish lasting oral health habits, enabling them to be treated alongside their parent or caregiver. Early visits to our family dentist’s office can ease the anxiety many young patients can experience when coming to the dentist and receiving an oral examination.

Drs. Gotwalt and their staff make every effort to ensure your child’s comfort during their treatment and take the time to educate them on what we are doing to help them maintain a clean smile. We demonstrate good brushing and flossing techniques for proper, effective at-home oral hygiene.

Dental Care for Every Age and Stage

As a trusted local dentist in Lititz, we know oral health evolves throughout life. That’s why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. From baby teeth to dentures, we provide thoughtful, age-specific care that supports healthy, happy smiles now and for years to come.

For Adults & Seniors

Adults face unique dental challenges—worn dental work, periodontal concerns, or cosmetic goals. Seniors may need extra support to maintain oral and overall health. Dr. Gotwalt provides restorative and cosmetic solutions personalized for every stage of life.

Care for adults and seniors includes:

Routine exams and professional cleanings
Periodontal therapy for gum health
Tooth-colored fillings and dental crowns
Cosmetic dentistry: whitening, bonding, veneers
Full and partial dentures
Dental implant consultations and restoration

Drs. Gotwalt treats every patient with courtesy and clarity, ensuring you understand your options and feel supported in your care decisions.

For Children & Teens

Dental visits in childhood shape how kids view oral health for life. Dr. Gotwalt focuses on creating positive experiences and teaching good habits from the start.

Pediatric and teen services include:

We also offer cosmetic and restorative dental treatments at our location in Lititz to address dental problems or aesthetic concerns that often arise for both young and old patients. They are dedicated to your oral health as well as your overall well-being and treat each patient as a member of their “dentistry family.”

Prevention Starts at Home—and With Us

Consistent, preventive care is the foundation of a lifetime of healthy smiles. We believe that prevention should be personal, with care that’s tailored to each family member’s age, lifestyle, and oral health needs. At every visit, we focus not just on cleaning teeth but on catching problems early and empowering you with the knowledge to stay ahead of potential concerns.

Preventive visits include thorough cleanings to remove buildup and apply fluoride when needed, along with digital x-rays that allow us to spot issues before they become painful or costly. Dr. Gotwalt also performs detailed evaluations of gum health, screening for early signs of periodontal disease. We check alignment and bite development, and when appropriate, include oral cancer screenings as part of your overall health monitoring.

Throughout your visit, we take time to discuss nutrition, home care techniques, and dental habits that support simple, effective daily hygiene routines. Because we don’t just care for your teeth—we’re here to help care for your whole health, starting at home and supported by a team you can trust.

Flexible Family Scheduling & Payment Options

We understand that busy families juggle a lot, and finding time for dental visits—especially multiple appointments—can be a challenge. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling options designed with real life in mind. Whether you’re coordinating checkups for the kids or looking to group your family’s visits into one convenient timeframe, we work to make it easy and efficient for everyone.

Beyond scheduling, we’re also committed to making your family’s dental care as affordable and stress-free as possible. Our team provides clear cost estimates before any treatment is done and offers guidance on maximizing your dental insurance benefits. We’re happy to assist with claim submissions so you can focus less on paperwork and more on your health.

For patients without insurance, we partner with trusted financing providers to offer budget-friendly payment plans. And with the added convenience of online scheduling, taking that next step for your family’s care has never been easier.

Creating Positive Dental Experiences for the Whole Family

We treasure the lifelong relationships we’ve built with families across Lititz, Manheim, and the surrounding Lancaster communities. Many patients grew up seeing Dr. Gotwalt, and now bring their children—or even grandchildren—back to their trusted dentist.

Drs. Gotwalt takes the time to explain treatments and procedures in age-appropriate language, ensuring that both children and adults understand their dental care. We celebrate milestones like cavity-free checkups and successful treatments, making each visit something your family can look forward to. Our goal is to establish trust and open communication with every family member, creating a foundation for lifelong oral health success.

“Dr. Gotwalt and his staff are so friendly and make a trip to the dentist more enjoyable. Our children enjoy Dr. John’s sense of humor! They treat us like family and truly care about what goes on in our lives beyond our appointment time. We appreciate their kindness in caring for us as individuals, not just a number in their filing system.”
