Services
Laser Dentistry
Our Waterlase MD laser technology provides minimally invasive dental care with reduced discomfort and faster healing. This advanced system uses laser energy and water to perform precise dental procedures without traditional drills. The technology allows for more accurate treatment of tooth decay and soft tissue procedures while preserving healthy tooth structure.
Dental Exams
Comprehensive dental exams assess children's oral health and development. We examine teeth, gums, and jaw alignment while using digital radiography to detect hidden issues. Our exams include personalized guidance for maintaining optimal oral hygiene and preventing future dental problems.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide and other sedation options help anxious patients receive necessary dental care. We offer conscious sedation for children with dental phobia and general anesthesia for special needs patients. Our board-certified anesthesiologists ensure safe and comfortable treatment experiences.
Fluoride Treatments
Professional fluoride applications strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay. We use topical fluoride varnishes as part of preventive care programs. Our dentists recommend customized fluoride treatment schedules based on individual patient needs and risk factors.
Sealants
Dental sealants protect children's molars from decay by sealing deep grooves. This preventive treatment creates smooth tooth surfaces that resist plaque buildup. We apply durable plastic resin coatings that typically last 3-5 years with regular dental checkups.

Questions
When should my child have their first dental visit?
We recommend scheduling your child's first dental visit when their first tooth erupts, but no later than age one. Early visits help establish good oral health habits and prevent future dental problems.
What makes pediatric dentists different from general dentists?
Pediatric dentists complete two additional years of specialized training beyond dental school. They focus exclusively on children's dental care, including treatment for special needs patients and behavior management techniques tailored for young patients.
How does laser dentistry benefit children?
Laser dentistry reduces discomfort and anxiety during dental procedures. The Waterlase MD system eliminates heat and vibration associated with traditional drills, allowing for more precise treatment with less anesthesia and faster healing times.
What sedation options are available for anxious children?
We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild sedation and general anesthesia administered by board-certified anesthesiologists for special needs patients or extensive procedures. Our team carefully evaluates each patient to determine the safest sedation method.
How do dental sealants protect children's teeth?
Sealants create protective barriers on molars by filling deep grooves where food particles accumulate. This preventive treatment reduces cavity risk by making tooth surfaces easier to clean and more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria.
