Pediatric Dentistry

We know the importance of oral health for your child’s overall well-being and we want them to grow up with healthy teeth. That is why at our office, you can expect comprehensive care from infancy through adulthood.

We have extensive training and experience in managing all aspects of pediatric dentistry, including routine exams; cleanings to keep them safe during those early years (and preventative measures if needed); restorative work like fillings or extractions when necessary – even emergency services that come into play should an accident happen.

We strive everyday not just towards making sure children have beautiful smiles but also empowered minds by teaching about proper oral health habits for a lifetime of healthy teeth.

What is a Pediatric Dentist?

A pediatric dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training through a residency and fellowship (for subspecialized training) in pediatric dentistry after 4 years of dental school, and is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years. The very young, pre-teens, and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems. A pediatric dentist is best qualified to meet these needs.

Our mission is to provide your child with exceptional dental care, in a safe and compassionate environment using state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment technology with an emphasis on evidence-based dentistry. Our friendly, well trained staff will ensure that your child will have the most pleasant and fun dental experience possible. We are committed to educating you and your child in maintaining a healthy and happy smile.
