At Steckler Pediatric Dentistry we know that a lifetime of healthy smiles begins with a baby's first tooth. Our kid-friendly practice is built on a love for children and a desire for them to be comfortable with dentistry. It is our goal for our patients to receive the highest quality of care, in a positive environment, and to provide dental education for the entire family- ultimately, creating healthy and beautiful smiles for all.
All of our kid-centered services are provided in a calm, caring environment in order to provide you and your child with a positive experience. Pediatric dentists have 2-3 additional years of training and education after dental school that are specific to caring for the oral health of children. In our opinion, taking your child to see a pediatric dental specialist is as important as taking them to see a pediatrician.

When I brought my son for a check-up, I told Dr. Steckler I found a cavity, he said he would check it out. After the exam, he told me it was not a cavity. I was relieved at that time, however, it turned out to be a cavity. A month later, my son’s cavity-looking lesion was growing, so I took him again, since it was clearly a cavity. I am not a pro but I found the cavity a month ago and he couldn't find it despite the fact I told him about it. It was pointless to have a check-up visit there.

My daughter needed a very sensitive, urgent dental procedure today and the office got her in quickly and handled her situation impeccably. They’re all very caring and personable. Dr Steckler is incredible as always! He took such great care of her and genuinely cares not only for the health of his clients teeth but also their experience in the office. Wouldn’t take her anywhere else!

It would be hard to convince me that there’s a more wonderful pediatric dentist than dr. Steckler. He is so patient, kind, and compassionate! And his staff is beyond wonderful. It’s never easy taking your kid to the dentist, but they make it as easy and enjoyable as possible. I am so grateful for how wonderful they’ve been to us!

This was the most amazing experience! I took my 3 year old to a previous dentist and it no where compared! The staff was extremely friendly, experienced and efficient! They made my son feel comfortable and they were able to do what they needed to do to give him the care he needed! They also had chairs for the parents, which the last place we tried did not! VERY IMPRESSED AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! My son can’t wait to come back!

My daughter is 2.5 and had her first ever dentist appointment today with Dr. Steckler. The waiting room is fun an inviting for kids and my daughter loved playing in the little play area in the front. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and everyone made an extra effort to ease my daughter's fears because let's face it - the dentist is scary even for adults! The treatment/exam space is an open area which is a little different but allows the kids to see the other kids being worked on without being scared. Dr. Steckler was very personable and explained everything he was looking for

When my son was six months old, I noticed some black spots on his teeth, panicked, asked for dentist recommendations for infants, and was suggested to see Dr. Steckler. My son has now been coming here for about two years for twice yearly check-ups!
I am impressed with the friendly staff, the facility, and Dr. Steckler himself! The waiting room includes a sea-themed playroom for kids attached to the typical waiting space. The staff is always happy and able to help in any way they can. Dr. Steckler is very friendly and personable (on our last visit, he noticed my son's new light-up shoes and

Everyone is so so nice here. The facility is clean, and the environment is interactive for children. The back area with the dental chairs is open, which is different but much appreciated. Although my son has no issues hopping up in the dental chair, I imagine the openness goes a long way towards earning a child's or mom's trust. I also really love that Steckler does not push unnecessary procedures. He really takes the future relationship between him and his client into consideration when divesting if/when something should be done.

We love Dr. Steckler! He is wonderful, caring, knowledgeable and always professional. He makes sure that our son's dental needs were met. We are so blessed to have him as our son's pediatric dentist from the time our son was a year old and will soon turn 8. Dr. Steckler is amazing and we HIGHLY recommend him. The staff is just as wonderful and very efficient!

Great pediatric dentist! The playroom in the waiting area is super cute. The office is very kid-friendly. All of the staff are very nice. Dr. Steckler takes time to explain everything. He didn't make me feel rushed. The office staff are competent. The receptionist was readily able to answer questions I had on the phone. This is second pediatric dentist we have tried in Lexington, and I was much more satisfied with everything at this office.
