Pediatric Dentistry
Our board-certified pediatric dentists provide comprehensive dental care for children from infancy through adolescence. We specialize in behavioral management techniques and use child-friendly equipment to create anxiety-free experiences. Our approach focuses on preventive care, early detection of dental issues, and educating families about proper oral hygiene practices to establish lifelong healthy habits.
Orthodontics
We offer complete orthodontic solutions for children, teens, and adults, including traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligners. Our specialists evaluate jaw development and tooth alignment to create personalized treatment plans. Early intervention options help guide proper dental development, while adult treatments focus on aesthetic improvements and functional corrections.
Invisalign
As a top Invisalign provider in Rhode Island, we offer clear aligner therapy for both teens and adults. Using iTero Scanner technology, we create customized treatment plans that gradually straighten teeth without traditional metal braces. This removable, nearly invisible option allows for easier oral hygiene maintenance and fewer office visits compared to conventional orthodontic treatments.
Sedation Dentistry
We provide multiple sedation options including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and general anesthesia to ensure comfortable treatment experiences. Our certified anesthesiologists carefully monitor patients throughout procedures, making dental care accessible for anxious children, special needs patients, and those requiring extensive treatment in a single visit.
Special Needs Dentistry
Our team receives advanced training to accommodate children with special healthcare needs. We offer customized treatment approaches, sensory-friendly environments, and specialized sedation techniques to ensure safe, effective dental care. Our practice is equipped to handle complex cases while maintaining a compassionate, patient-centered approach that reduces stress for both patients and families.
