Services
Laser Dentistry
Our Waterlase laser technology provides minimally invasive dental care for children. This advanced system combines laser energy with water spray to perform procedures without traditional drills or scalpels. Benefits include reduced anxiety from eliminating drill noise, needle-free treatments for some procedures, and faster healing times while preserving healthy tooth structure.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer multiple sedation options tailored to children's needs. Nitrous oxide provides mild relaxation while maintaining consciousness. Oral conscious sedation helps anxious patients through complex procedures. General anesthesia administered with specialists ensures safe treatment for very young or special needs patients while maintaining natural breathing functions.
Special Needs Dentistry
Our practice specializes in treating children with developmental disabilities including autism and ADHD. We employ Touch Points Training methodology and create personalized treatment plans involving family members. Services include early intervention, behavior management, and specialized dental care for patients with physical and cognitive challenges.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We provide aesthetic dental solutions for children's teeth. Our NuSmile zirconia crowns offer durable, natural-looking alternatives to traditional stainless steel crowns. This restorative treatment addresses tooth decay while maintaining appearance, particularly for front teeth where aesthetics matter most for young patients' confidence.
Tongue Tie Correction
Our specialized procedure addresses ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) in infants and children. Using advanced techniques, we release restrictive frenulum tissue to improve feeding, speech development, and oral function. The quick, minimally uncomfortable procedure resolves eating and speaking difficulties associated with this congenital condition.
