At the Smile Shop, we believe that trust and personal relationships with patients are our top priorities. Our team of dedicated pediatric dentists, including Dr. Michael Stoker, Dr. Richard Adams, Dr. Nicole Stoker, Dr. Melissa McCool, and Dr. Whitney Garol, are passionate about providing comprehensive dental care to children from infancy to their teenage years. With three convenient office locations in Reno and Sparks, we strive to make every visit a fun and educational experience for our young patients.

Our Approach to Dentistry

At the Smile Shop, we take a preventative approach to dentistry, emphasizing the importance of regular check-ups, proper brushing, flossing, and eating habits, as well as topical fluoride treatment and pit and fissure sealants. We understand that dental problems often start early, and our goal is to prevent them whenever possible. Our experienced dentist will carefully examine your child's mouth to identify any potential issues and provide personalized recommendations for a healthy smile.

Restorative Dentistry

While prevention is always our top priority, we also provide restorative services for children with dental caries or other oral health issues. Our experienced dentist will work closely with you to determine the most effective treatment plan for your child's specific needs. We are committed to discussing all options and answering any questions you may have.

Emergency Care

We understand that dental emergencies can be stressful for both parents and children. That's why we are always available to provide prompt and compassionate care when you need it most. Our team is trained to handle a range of dental emergencies, from simple fillings to more extensive procedures. We take pride in our ability to provide calm and reassuring care during times of dental distress.

Sedation Services

For some children, dental procedures can be overwhelming or even traumatic. That's why we offer sedation services to help your child feel more comfortable during their visit. Our most commonly used sedation method is nitrous oxide, which is safe and effective in helping your child relax during treatment.

Your Child's First Dental Visit

We understand that your child's first dental visit can be a significant milestone. That's why we are dedicated to making it a positive and educational experience. Our goal is to make every child feel welcome and supported from the moment they walk through our door. We believe that by establishing a relationship with a pediatric dentist early on, we can help prevent dental problems and provide lifelong oral health benefits.
