Services
We have two sets of teeth during our life: 20 primary teeth and 32 permanent teeth. The 20 primary, or baby teeth, are essential for chewing, speech, and holding space for permanent teeth. Primary teeth start to develop In Utero and emerge in the mouth in the first 3. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends children visit their pediatric dentist at least twice a year for a routine cleaning and exam.
This includes proper brushing, flossing and eating habits, ideal fluoride levels and the use of pit and fissure sealants. Dr. B and his team strive to provide a fun, educational environment whose children learn about the importance of good dental hygiene. This includes children's fillings, crowns and prosthesis, including treatment of the often devastating nursing bottle decay.
A pediatric dentist, like Dr. B., has an extra two years of specialized training after dental school and is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years. The very young, pre-teens, and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with behavior, guiding their growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems.

My son became a patient of Dr. B at age of 3 and has remained his patient continuously until he turned 18 years old. We would never have even considered another dentist in all those years. Dr. B and his entire staff are phenomenal! You will never find a more knowledgeable, kind, caring, attentive, or compassionate dentist. When you weigh your choices in pediatric dentistry, there is only one correct choice — DR. B!

Dr. B and his staff create a welcoming and uniformly positive environment to teach kids good dental health. I appreciate that Dr. B always speaks directly with parents after each appointment to keep them updated on their child's progress, and to give a head's up on any issues. Can't recommend this practice highly enough!

We love Dr. B and his team! They are always so friendly and timely. My children look forward to their visits every 6 months. My daughter even got upset when her brother had an appointment and she didn't. Dr. B is very patient with them and discusses preventive measures and treatment. He is truly a partner in their dental care.

Dr B is simply the best pediatric dentist I've ever met! He and his staff have it down right! From the way the office is designed to their protocols, they make kiddos feel safe and comfortable. I have 3 1/2 year old twins and brought them to Dr B at 3 years old. They LOVE going to the dentist! I wish I could have said this when I was their age! You can't find a better dentist for your kids!!!

I can't say enough positive words about Dr. B and his staff! They are friendly and warm and extremely professional. My 12 year old daughter has been a patient of Dr. B for several years now and looks forward to her visits. She actually reminds me about setting her appointments. I highly recommend Dr. B to anyone who is looking for a caring and knowledgeable pediatric dentist .

Dr. Blen and his entire staff are amazing! My 2yr old was comfortable enough with his team that she walked back to be examined by herself!!! She left the office excited about her visit and exam. I recommend this office to my coworkers even though we work in a practice that includes dental services. It's a testament to how amazing Dr. B's office is!

I have 5 boys that are 2 to 13, so finding a good dentist is a must. My 8yr old is very clingy, nervous and has a lot of anxiety. We found Dr. Blen after 2 very bad dental experiences (in the eyes of my child). And one we loved but was so far away. Dr. Blen eased my son's anxiety and was able to do work he needed without me present which was a huge feat for my son. He helped my son trust a dentist again and be excited about the next time he would go in for a cleaning. I feel so blessed to have found such a sweet man with a true loving heart. You can tell he cares deeply about your child

This place is amazing! I can hear my daughter giggling and having a great time while getting her check up! I did a lot of research before I picked her 1st dentist and oh boy am I thrilled with my decision! The staff is so nice and they really care about the kids. Dr. B is so nice and informative and my daughter loves him! She loves to brush her teeth with her new Dora toothbrush we got!

I am currently 16 years old, and I have been a patient at Dr. B's office since I was 3. My mom calls Dr. B the 'dental whisperer' because I have never, ever had a fear of visiting the dentist due to the way in which Dr. B calmly and carefully approaches each patient, especially the youngest ones. His welcoming smile, friendly hygienists, and colorful office decor set the mood for a fun and exciting trip to the dentist. Maybe his slogan should read, 'Never fear...Dr. B is here!' If you're ever in need of a pediatric dentist, Dr. B is the place to be! He was even able advise me on braces when the

This is my three year old daughter's second visit to Dr Blen's and I have to say that I wouldn't want to go anywhere else! They treat my daughter like she is a princess and she absolutely LOVES coming to the dentist.
The office is in a nice big building and there is a ton of free parking in the lot behind the building. The office itself has the "kid friendly" feel without feeling like you are at Chuck E Cheese. The furniture and decor is modern with a few toys and a TV to keep the kiddos entertained for the short wait. Speaking of short waits, I didn't have a change

Where to start? Dr. Blen's office is warm and inviting, and once a mom steps into reception, all the stress disappears. Our two children both adore Dr. B and their staff. Everything in this office is kid-friendly, and yet manages not to be condescending. Kids wear sunglasses during exams, and get to pick a prize at the end. Moms and dads are invited to relax in one of the waiting areas, which seems to give kids confidence. Dr. Blen will work with parents on issues like tongue-thrusting, bites, orthodonture, x-rays, and will watch for spacing as teeth come in, keeping parents informed
