What to Expect

Your child will feel like they belong here

We work hard to create a welcoming environment because it sets the tone for positive interactions and fosters a sense of belonging.

Your child will feel like we understand them

We understand that every child is unique and visiting the dentist can be intimidating, so we take time to explain procedures in a way that they can understand and address any concerns they may have.

Your child will feel empowered

We believe pediatric dentistry is about empowering children to take control of their oral health and fostering a lifelong appreciation for the importance of maintaining a healthy smile

Your child will have fun

We believe a great experience at the dentist is critical to building lifelong dental habits.

You’ll feel like you made the right choice

Our goal is to build trust with you and your child, and we do that through genuine care, complete transparency, and creating an empathetic environment.

Finances & Insurance

We accept most PPO insurance plans and offer a complimentary benefits check. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t worry! We offer a $150 new patient cash special, giving you and your child the chance to get to know our office and staff.
