Pediatric Dentistry at its Finest
Along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend that a child’s first dental visit be scheduled by his/her 1st birthday. It is very important to make the first visit as positive and enjoyable for the child as possible. We want your child to enjoy getting to know our doctors and staff and be comfortable at all times.

Why Choose A Pediatric Dentist?
A children's dental specialist is a practitioner who, after becoming a general dentist (often called a family dentist), has completed an additional two years of post-doctoral training in the recognition and treatment of children’s dental and orthodontic problems. Specialty education includes child psychology, behavior guidance, preventive techniques, restorative dentistry, interceptive and comprehensive orthodontic care (braces), and the treatment of handicapped or chronically ill children.
A pediatric dentist is the only doctor completely qualified in delivering comprehensive children’s dental care.
Our doctors and staff strive to make your child's experience safe, comfortable, educational, and fun.
"Had my son's first dentist appointment on 6-25-2025 and was greeted by 2 very sweet respectful receptionists and went back within a few mins after we got there. The dental assistant and the dentist himself where so nice and listened to any concerns I had and was so gentle with my son. We drove almost 2 hours to go to this dentist and I am so blessed and happy we choose this one. I highly recommend this place to anyone who has little kids or bigger kids to go here. We are a permanent client now."

"I can not say enough great things about this place and their staff. From the time of walking in the door we were greeted with smiles, everyone was thorough and made sure we had no questions, they even took the time to explain what was going on to my 5 year old so she understood and was comfortable. After we left I received 3 calls and a text from the staff checking on my daughter after her procedure. They were so patient and kind and I can’t thank them enough!"
