About Our Office

We want all our young patients to develop great, lifelong dental hygiene habits, so we strive to make their dental visits as enjoyable as possible. Our offices are decorated with bright colors. We have toys and video games, chair-side televisions, and a fun, friendly staff that enjoys interacting with children of all ages. Whether it's your child's first visit to the dentist or one of many, we want their time in our office to be enjoyable. Good dental health is essential for good physical health, so our objective is to develop a positive attitude about dental visits.

Before performing any pediatric dental procedure, we do "show and tell" with the child. We explain what we're going to do and how we'll do it, and we have models to make the procedures easy to understand. We find that this method greatly reduces the amount of stress and anxiety that our young patients – and their parents – experience. We want to make sure that your child looks forward to their dental visits rather than dreading them.

Your Child's First Dental Visit

We recommend that your child have their first dental visit when their first tooth erupts, but no later than the age of one year. Although primary teeth will fall out eventually, it's important that they erupt correctly, and a dental checkup can ensure that your child's teeth and gums are healthy and in proper alignment. If your child has special needs, let us know when you make the appointment. Our state-of-the-art equipment enables us to accommodate those with special needs and ensure that they develop good dental habits for their lifetimes.

Our Equipment

We keep current on the latest technological advances and use the iTero digital scanner and iTero Invisalign^® simulation for our procedures.

Our pediatric dentists are specialists, meaning that they have completed the necessary training to properly treat children of all ages. Our focus is on the variety of dental problems that can occur when a child’s mouth is still developing. We also provide care to children with special needs, creating personalized care plans that ensure the comfort of the child and his or her parents. We utilize a team approach, working closely with parents, pediatricians, and general dentists to develop comprehensive care plans.

Our Pediatric Dental Services

 We're a full-service pediatric dental office, and our patients range in age from birth to 20 years. If your child needs dental procedures, we can provide them. Our pediatric dental procedures include:

• Pediatric dental checkups: Children need regular dental checkups the same as adults. Maintaining a regular dental checkup schedule can ensure your child has good dental health throughout their life. We'll examine your child's teeth and gums to ensure that there's no decay or disease, and we'll recommend an oral hygiene regimen to maintain your child's good dental health.
• Pediatric dental cleanings: Your child should receive regular dental cleanings starting at age three. This will ensure the best outcome for their permanent teeth and will deter the formation of gum disease.
• Pediatric dental x-rays: The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children receive dental x-rays during their annual checkups. This enables their pediatric dentist to detect cavities, gum disease, and other abnormalities that might be missed during a visual exam. X-rays are also necessary for orthodontic treatments.
• Pediatric periodontics: Gum disease doesn't only affect adults. It also affects children. Lifestyle factors and genetics can exacerbate the development of periodontal disease, so be sure to have your child checked for gum disease during their annual checkup.
• Emergency pediatric dentistry: If your child has a dental emergency, call our office without delay. Whether it's a knocked-out tooth, a broken tooth, a severe toothache, or any other emergency dental issue, we can help you. Calling our office without delay will often enable us to save the tooth and reduce the possibility of the situation escalating.
• Special needs dentistry: If your child has special needs, our skilled pediatric dentists have the training that enables them to positively interact with your child so that they feel relaxed and secure. We'll also formulate a dental plan that will enable your child to have consistent and good dental care.
• Pediatric dental anesthesia: Our pediatric dentists are specially trained to diagnose the best type of sedation for your child. Not all children react the same to all types of anesthesia, so we'll use your child's age and specific needs to determine the best method of anesthesia for them.
• General anesthesia in hospital: Sometimes, pediatric dental procedures need to be performed in a hospital setting using general anesthesia. If your child needs this type of procedure, we'll work closely with your child's pediatrician, oral surgeon, and anesthesiologist to ensure the best outcome.

Payment Options

We never want our patients to go without the dental treatment they need because there's not enough room in their budget, so we offer a variety of payment options, such as:

• Insurance: We accept most dental insurance plans, and because dental insurance billing is complicated and confusing, we'll do the billing for you.
• Flexible financing: We'll work with you to find a payment plan that will fit your budget.
• CareCredit: CareCredit is a credit card that works the same as a typical credit card, except you can only use it for health-related expenses. Ask us about it when you call, or you can apply through our website.
• Smile Alliance Club: Although Smile Alliance Club isn't an insurance plan, it can save you money. It's a discount membership plan that provides substantial discounts on dental procedures as well as vision care and prescriptions. Members report saving a minimum of $250 annually, so ask about it when you call.
• Special offers: Periodically, we offer special discounts to new patients as well as existing patients, so check our website for specials or ask about them when you call.
