A special kind of dentist

Providing the best care for a child’s oral health requires a special kind of dentist. A pediatric dentist completes two additional years of training after dental school to learn how to better care for children. Many offices advertise that they cater to kids — but if you ask whether the dentist is a true pediatric specialist, you might be surprised by the answer.

Believe it or not, dental care for a child is very different from that of an adult. From the anatomical differences of childhood to the special behavioral concerns of children, our pediatric dental specialists — and our whole staff — are prepared to provide the best possible care for your child.

What services do we offer?

We offer a full suite of services to ensure your child has a healthy, happy smile. All restorative options are available, including fillings, sealants and crowns. Pulpotomies and pulpectomies (“baby teeth root canals”) are also available, as are surgical procedures including extractions and space maintenance.

  • Pediatric & infant dentistry
  • Regular cleanings & check-ups
  • Sedation dentistry when necessary
  • Custom mouthguards & veneers for teens
  • Tooth whitening and so much more

All of these services are provided in an atmosphere dedicated to kids! Children can watch movies while they receive treatment, or play in the game room while waiting for their siblings.

Our treatment philosophy

Our emphasis is on prevention — both in the office and at home. We recommend regular exams and cleanings as well as positive, thorough home care: limiting sweets, brushing twice daily, and flossing at least once a day. Proper care of your child’s primary teeth forms the basis of their dental hygiene habits into adulthood.

We do everything possible to preserve the integrity of your child’s dentition while fostering a healthy, relaxed attitude toward dental care that your children will have no problem embracing. We take most dental insurance policies and have financial assistance available.
