Getting to know you and your child individually is very important as doing so enables us to develop a tailored approach that works best for your family. We believe in forming partnerships with parents and encourage you to accompany your child in the treatment room for all visits. We take the time to listen to your concerns and answer any questions you may have.

According to The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) your child's first visit should be when their first tooth erupts, or around their first birthday. An early examination provides your child with preventive dental care while establishing good dental habits at an early age.

Very disappointed. First of all to schedule an appointment. My son is special needs. I mentioned that right on the beginning. He has two insurance, one is private and another is Medicaid. Lady from the scheduling immediately said that they don’t work with Medicaid. Okay, I said we have BCBS. Do you work with this one? Lady said she doesn’t know. Really? One of the biggest health insurance company as I know. I tough, let me schedule anyway, because of 5* reviews. That was a mistake.
We arrived for the appointment. They put my son on the chair for cleaning. He is Autistic, so he was continue

5 stars is definitely not enough! This practice is amazing! I was impressed from the first phone call, Elizabeth was always transparent about pricing and she makes you feel welcomed as soon as you step into the office.
The place is impeccable and you can see they put this place together with a lot of love and dedication.
Dr. Patty and her assistant are absolutely amazing and really good with kids! I love how they address directly to my kid , explain to her what they are doing and always put her in first place.
One thing that really made a difference for me was when Dr. Patty told me is really

My baby boy had a tongue tie and a lip tie. The entire staff was very helpful and nice. They were knowledgeable about the different problems that we had concerns with and they answered all our questions fluently. Dr. Patty was great and helped ease our nerves since she was very knowledgeable about the problems that we had with our baby. Definitely would come back and recommend them!

Happy Grins Dentist provides a calm, positive environment for their patients. My daughter looks forward to her appointments. From the manicure during dental procedures to the fun, toy filled, gum ball machines, she forgets that it's a dentist and just sees it as a fun place to go. Dr. Patty is very informative and explains what is occurring during the appointment to the patient and parent. Dr. Patty's attention to detail is incredible. I'm so happy that I found such a great dentist for my daughter and highly recommend Happy Grins to anyone seeking a Pediatric Dentist.

What a catfish experience!
My wife was very excited how her call went asking questions and getting the appointment. The front desk lady was very nice, respectful and delightful to our daughter. (She is a keeper)
Take a deep breath for this one.
Once we got to the back to see the doctor she asked for our daughter to seat down on the chair. Our daughter (3 years old) was getting nervous. The room is very plain and the tools aren’t kid friendly. They look like it’s they are for older kids or adults.
She asked my wife to seat with her and once she sat down. She took my daughter teddy bear away

Dr. Patty is absolutely amazing! I came in desperate for a lip revision for my 2 week old daughter. We had issues latching and weight loss and I was determined to get help ASAP. Dr. Patty recommended therapy prior and after to the revision, all which I was hesitant on ( I just wanted it done!) but man am I glad I followed her recommendations. My only regret is not knowing about her when my eldest needed her revision because clearly she is the best in this field. Her team was so accommodating and professional, I just can’t imagine going to another dentist. If you’re looking for 100% happiness

Happy Grins is simply the best pediatric dentist in Central Florida! My son needed a tongue release procedure to help with his feeding. Dr. Patty and her team took great care attending to his tongue tie and general teeth cleaning.
The tongue tie release was quick, and most importantly the pain was minimal. His follow up went great, and now we can move forward with his feeding therapy.
P.S. Liz is awesome! She provides amazing customer service, while going above and beyond to make your kids feel special.Thank you!

This place is absolutely amazing. They have amazing skills, and Thoroughly explain what is going on and what you need. They are great with children and are flexible when it comes to the little ones. I cannot explain my appreciation for this place. The decor is strategically put in such a way that it’s never boring. Hint just that but they have two TVs and the option of wat channel you would like to watch, if you ask of course. Along with additional TVs inside of the examination rooms, where they clean and treat your teeth, they ask the kids what movie or show they would like to watch along with

Our experience with Happy Grins was phenomenal! Dr.Patty and her team made us feel super welcomed from the time we stepped in the door! They gave us their undivided attention and took amazing care of our baby boy! Titan’s revision of his lip and tongue was so smooth and seamless. They even provided a video of what to do after leaving the facility!!!! This was the game changer. We’ve watched the video numerous times to refresh our memories before doing the stretches. They were also on call for the first 72 hours in case we needed them for anything! We can’t thank the Happy Grins team enough
