Pediatrics & Orthodontics
Our Pediatric and Orthodontic specialists work together to offer a full menu of pediatric dental services for all ages and orthodontic smile solutions for children and adults.
Our Unique Advantage
We bring pediatric dentistry and orthodontics together in one location, so families don't have to juggle multiple practices. Our pediatric team focuses on prevention and building healthy habits, while our orthodontists guide tooth and jaw alignment at the right time.
Having both specialties under one roof means we take a long-term approach to your child's smile. We monitor their development over time, recommend treatment only when needed, and coordinate care seamlessly. No managing multiple offices or conflicting advice.

Pediatric Dental Treatments

Our focus is on prevention and building healthy habits while making sure every visit is comfortable and age-appropriate for your child. Our goal is to keep your child's smile healthy while building their confidence, so they actuallywantto take care of their teeth.
Questions about your child’s oral health?
Healthy
Smile Habits
As your child grows, we emphasize prevention and education to keep their smile bright. Our goal is helping kids build consistent oral hygiene routines that last a lifetime.
Prophylaxis
(Teeth Cleaning)
At their regular six-month checkup, your child receives a gentle, thorough cleaning to prevent cavities and support overall oral health.
Nitrous Oxide
Sedation (Laughing Gas)
For children feeling nervous about their visit, we offer nitrous oxide sedation. This safe, mild option keeps kids calm and comfortable while they remain fully awake and able to communicate.
IV Sedation
For extensive procedures or severe anxiety, IV sedation provides deep relaxation throughout treatment. Our trained team monitors your child continuously, delivering safe, comfortable care while completing necessary dental work.
Tooth-Colored
Fillings
When cavities occur, we use composite resin fillings that match your child's natural tooth color, creating a seamless, healthy-looking result.
Silver Diamine
Fluoride
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is an FDA-approved treatment that helps stop cavities in their tracks without drilling. The silver kills cavity-causing bacteria on contact, while the fluoride strengthens your child's tooth. It's a quick, painless option that's especially helpful for young children.
Laser Frenectomy
(Infant Lip & Tongue-Tie Release)
We use laser technology to release lip or tongue ties, restoring proper function for breastfeeding, speech development, eating, swallowing, and normal oral growth.
Dental
Sealants
This protective plastic coating is applied to chewing surfaces to prevent cavities. Sealants are quick to place and offer years of lasting protection.
Tooth
Extractions
When decay, disease, trauma, or developmental concerns affect a tooth, we safely remove it to protect your child's oral health.
Dental
Emergencies
If you're uncertain whether your child's pain needs immediate attention, please call us right away.
Highly Recommend For Anyone
My son is autistic, and we usually have problems with dental visits. The staff could not have been more accommodating and made it a pleasant process. I would highly recommend for anyone, especially families with special needs.
Orthodontics
As Orthodontists, we specialize in guiding the growth and alignment of your child's teeth and jaws during their developing years. We're trained to spot alignment issues early, which often means simpler treatment down the road. Our goal is to create healthy, confident smiles tailored to your child's age and needs.
Orthodontic Treatment Options
We offer orthodontic treatments for children and adults.
Standard Braces
(Clear or Metal)
Traditional braces offer the most comprehensive solution for complex orthodontic issues, from crooked teeth to bite and jaw alignment concerns. Available in both clear and metal options.
Invisalign Teen®
Virtually invisible and removable, Invisalign's clear aligners help teenagers achieve straight smiles without the visibility or restrictions of traditional braces.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces deliver the same effective results as metal braces but use clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend naturally with your child's smile. Perfect for kids who want a less noticeable treatment option.
Early Interceptive Treatment
Early interceptive orthodontic treatment helps maximize the opportunity to accomplish the ideal healthy, functional, and aesthetic result that will remain stable throughout your child’s life.
Phase 1
The goal of Phase-One treatment is to help the jaw develop in a way that will accommodate all the permanent teeth and improve the way the upper and lower jaws fit together.
Resting Period
In this phase, the remaining permanent teeth are left alone as they erupt.
Phase 2
The goal of the second phase is to make sure each tooth has an exact location in the mouth where it is in harmony with the lips, cheeks, tongue, and other teeth. When this equilibrium is established, the teeth will function together properly. Phase two usually involves full upper and lower braces.
