Our team is enthusiastic, professional and dedicated to provide for every child, parent and guardian; the dental care sensitive to their child's needs and to make it a rewarding experience.
Taking dental x-rays or radiographs is essential for diagnosing dental disease and concerns. These radiographs show teeth, bones and soft tissue to help dentists determine if there are caries or hidden dental problems such as bone loss that cannot be seen when looking into a mouth. Taking dental x-rays can also help catch dental disease early to prevent pain and expensive dental treatment.
Most children are calm, comfortable and confident in a pediatric dental office. Sometimes, however, a child may feel anxious before or during treatment. Nitrous oxide/oxygen is a safe, effective sedative agent used to calm a child's fear of the dental visit and enhance effective communication. Additionally, it works well for children whose gag reflex interferes with dental treatment.

I have 2 children who LOVE going to the dentist because this team is the BEST! Dr. Devi and Dr. LaPena have always taken the time to keep my girls calm, explained what they would experience, answered any questions and honestly- asked questions to get to know them which I think is so important because it established a good relationship. I've moved away from the area but still drive 35 mins to take them here because I can't imagine taking my kids anywhere else.
The staff have also been super helpful and accommodating. Very nice on the phone and always try to get answers from insurance or send over

GREAT experience - couldn’t be happier! My 3 1/2 year old had a great time and was so happy! They really got to his level and helped him choose “flavors” and prizes that had him so excited. Dr. Lapenna was so great - she showed him and explained about every tool before she used it - let him touch it and did a “practice” before she worked. Very informative to me as well as what she was seeing. I’m so grateful we found this practice and know my son will be excited to go back! Actually that night going to bed he asked “Mommy, tomorrow can we go back to the dentist?”😁

WARNING: this office claims to understand and be able to serve special needs children. THEY DO NOT have a true understanding. The front office staff was incredibly blunt and uncaring the moment we arrived for a filling visit for my 10 yo daughter. While this was the third appointment to this clinic in a week, no one had ever mentioned that there were apparently special restrictions for COVID where anyone 5 and over could not have a parent with them in the treatment room. This was not explained in advance, nor implemented during my 2 previous visits during the same week. We came back for a filling

I had an appointment today for my kids today. My appointment was at 5.40pm. I religiously reached the place at 5.30pm and called the front office to inform that I am waiting in the car. Front office person , Jennifer by name , came out at 6.01 pm. And said she will take my kid inside and parents not allowed. Agreed because of safety concerns. When I asked if I can wait in waiting room, she said waiting room is full. Should I understand that they are not giving limited appointments
I said I need to talk to doctor about my concerns before my kid gets in room for check up. She said that I cant talk

Dr. Devi and her team are amazing! I have four children that see her. One of my children required more dental help than the others and Dr. Devi coached me through everything. She is a very knowledgeable doctor who cares and really takes her time to get to know you as a family and your dental needs and struggles. Jasmine, the dental hygienist is great with my kids, and Cathy at the front is always a pleasure to speak with over the phone and is very helpful with billing. We feel very comfortable going there, it's like family. I recommend this doctors office to anyone.

Dr Lapena and Jasmine are awesome with my kids. My 5yr old had cavities filled today. They were patient and explained every step of the way. We were not rushed and they went at my son's speed. They do a great job with staying safe with COVID. It is a difficult time for us all but I certainly appreciate them being open and putting themselves on the frontline in order to care for the kids. The front desk ladies Kathy and Jennifer were attentive to my kids and made sure they safely got a prize. They always do a great job and I am so grateful for them. Thank you Thank you Thank you!! I highly recommend

Dr Lapena and her staff were amazing to us before we even had our first visit. They went above and beyond to take such care and concern to review x-rays and records from another dentist and fit us in when we had urgent issues. We are very grateful for their knowledge and compassion and child centered practice. Their dedication to children really shows and we couldn't be more appreciative.
