we're more than just general dentists

Pediatric dental care is about much more than just the physical wellness of the mouth, teeth, and soft tissues. The mouth is the main entryway into one’s body and poor oral health is associated with several medical conditions that have negative consequences.

Bacteria from the mouth can easily get into the bloodstream and cause infection and inflammation wherever it spreads. Our team will evaluate your child’s current oral needs to ensure that they remain healthy as they grow up. We will identify any steps that might be necessary, for example orthodontics, as the mouth and jaw matures.

Sealants

It’s hard for young children to properly clean all the tiny grooves in their teeth with a toothbrush alone. Food and bacteria can collect in these grooves and eventually lead to cavities. Sealants are made of clear plastic and are applied to the teeth to seal out food and plaque and help prevent cavities.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Modern tooth-colored fillings can be bonded to your teeth for a strong and natural-looking result. These restorations are virtually undetectable and easy to apply. They are much more conservative and safer than the silver-mercury fillings of the old days. Under many circumstances these fillings can be placed without the necessity of local anesthetics (Novocaine).

Orthodontics

Early evaluation and treatment can sometimes minimize the necessity of more complicated care at a later time. No cost orthodontic consultations are provided to all of our patients! The orthodontist will periodically observe patients until the time for treatment is ideal. Starting work prematurely increases cost and the length of time necessary to obtain an ideal result.

Sports Guards

Mouth guards are plastic coverings that protect teeth while playing sports. We can customize an appliance to help avoid potential injury.

Oral Surgery and Sedation

In the event treatment is necessary, our oral surgery is here to meet your child’s needs. We utilize various anesthetic and safe sedation techniques, during both general dentistry and oral surgery to ensure a relaxing and anxiety-free experience.
