Plateau Dentistry For Children

Pediatric Dentistry, Laser dental treatments, Sedations, Orthodontics, and Emergency care. We view each child as a whole rather than a single symptom to be treated. Your child deserves proper care and attention. We offer all ranges of restorative treatments options ranging from most conservative restoration to surgical treatment.

The first "regular" dental visit should be no later than your child's first birthday. In this visit, we will introduce you and your child to our staff and facility. Questions are welcomed. Exploration and observation is encouraged. Our ultimate goal is to build your child's comfort, confidence, and trust where each visit will be a rewarding experience.

Our practice offers a wide range of payment options. For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, and Discover. For those patients who may not have dental insurance we offer Care Credit as an option, or, for those paying cash, a cash "allowance." We strive to deliver the finest care at the most reasonable cost to our patients.

We accept most insurance plans. We are a participating provider with Premera, Delta Dental, Regence, Cigna and Guardian Employer-Sponsored Group Plans such as those offered by Microsoft, Starbucks, Amazon, and the Washington Education Association.

If your dental insurance changes, you or your spouse change jobs, or your child gets new dental insurance through the Washington Health Benefit Exchange, please let our Financial Coordinator know immediately in order for her to find out as much information as possible about the new dental insurance plan before your child's appointment.That way you can avoid unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.
