Our Practice
Why choose a pediatric dentist? These are the things that make us unique.
Our Time Together
Our first focus is to ease any fears while creating an exciting and fun environment for your children. We always envision each young patient as a future young adult with healthy smiles and low dental fear and anxiety. This journey begins very early in life, sometimes right at birth (working with tongue and lip ties).
We encourage your little-one’s first dental visit to happen by their first tooth or their first birthday, whichever comes first.
Happy Visits
We offer more frequent “happy visits” for you and your child to become more comfortable us our office and staff. These happy visits vary by what each child needs. Some begin and end in the parking lot, others include rides on our operatory chairs. We devote time at each visit to truly get to know you and your family. When the sad day of graduation from our office arrives, we hope to be a positive part of their childhood.
Sugar Bugs
Our second focus is the disease of dental caries (also known as cavities), the most prevalent chronic disease in children. The single, most effective way to maintain the best oral health is by stressing prevention through regular checkups, appropriate fluoride use, and proper nutrition.
Catering to your Needs
We will work with you individually to find ways to prevent caries and, if necessary, restore the effects of dental caries. We strive to use the least invasive measures when suitable and always use the highest quality materials. We treat our patients as if they were our own children.
