Services
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry services focus on preventive care, early cavity detection, and creating positive dental experiences for children. We specialize in managing childhood dental development, treating dental trauma, and educating families on proper oral hygiene. Our team uses child-friendly communication techniques and gentle treatment approaches to ensure comfort and build lifelong oral health habits.
Orthodontics
We provide comprehensive orthodontic care including traditional braces, self-ligating Damon Smile brackets, and phased treatment plans for optimal jaw development. Our orthodontic services address bite correction, teeth alignment, and space management to create functional, beautiful smiles. Treatment is tailored to each patient's growth patterns and dental needs for lasting results.
Invisalign Treatment
Our Invisalign clear aligner treatment offers a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces for teens and adults. Using custom-made SmartTrack material aligners, we correct misaligned teeth and bite issues through gradual, controlled movement. The removable trays allow normal eating and oral hygiene while achieving straighter smiles in as little as 6-18 months.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer multiple sedation options including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation to help anxious patients receive necessary dental care comfortably. Our IV-certified providers carefully monitor patients throughout treatment to ensure safety while reducing fear and discomfort during procedures ranging from routine cleanings to complex dental work.
Preventive Care
Our preventive care program includes regular checkups, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to protect children's teeth. We provide personalized oral hygiene instruction and dietary guidance to prevent cavities and gum disease. Early intervention strategies help avoid more complex dental issues later while promoting healthy dental development.

Questions
At what age should I schedule my child's first dental visit?
We recommend scheduling your child's first visit when their first tooth erupts or by age one, following AAPD guidelines for early dental care.
What makes pediatric dentists different from general dentists?
Pediatric dentists complete 2-3 years of specialized training after dental school, focusing on child development, behavior management, and treating dental issues specific to children.
How can I help prevent cavities in my child's teeth?
Prevent cavities through twice-daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing, healthy eating habits, regular dental checkups every six months, and dental sealants on back teeth.
What sedation options are available for anxious children?
We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and IV sedation to help anxious patients receive care comfortably, with options tailored to each child's specific needs and treatment requirements.
When should orthodontic treatment begin for children?
The AAO recommends orthodontic evaluation by age seven. Early intervention (Phase One) typically starts around ages 8-9 to address jaw growth and bite issues before all permanent teeth erupt.
How does Invisalign treatment work for teens?
Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to gradually move teeth into proper position. Teens wear each set for 1-2 weeks, removing them for eating and brushing, with treatment typically lasting 12-18 months depending on complexity.
