Services
At First Smiles Children's Dentistry, we're on a mission to help parents and their little ones enjoy a playful, informative, and compassionate dental journey, together. We believe in a personalized approach, so patients and parents feel valued every step of the way. From infants to adolescents, we love seeing tiny smiles grow to be lifelong, confident participants of their health as a whole.
Preventive dentistry is the foundation for a healthy smile. With regular cleanings and exams, small dental issues can be caught before they turn into large and costly problems. Preventive dental care along with a diligent at-home brushing and flossing routine can help prevent dental issues all together.
When preventive care is not enough, restorative dental treatments can bring your child's smile back to exceptional oral health. From repairing cavities with simple fillings to gentle extraction of problem teeth, restorative treatment can help your child's smile stay healthy. Contact First Smiles Children's Dentistry for an appointment in Modesto today!
Emergency dentistry is available to patients who have experienced a dental injury or accident, or are in severe dental pain and discomfort. The goal of emergency dental care is to get patients out of pain quickly and back to optimal oral health as soon as possible. Between contact sports and exploring their worlds, children can have an accident at any time.
Unfortunately, not all children have positive memories of the dentist. Some children may be more sensitive or find it difficult to sit still during treatment. But there are solutions that can make receiving dental care more comfortable for them. Sedation options are an effective way to give your child the dental care they need without the discomfort or anxiety that may come with their cleanings or restorative care.

What a wonderful experience, it was my sons first dentist visit. Thank you guys all so much! I absolutely love this dentist office, it was such a welcoming facility. I honestly thought my son was going to cry and get upset. The staff went above and beyond, not one tear from my son.
I recommend them with no doubt!

First Smiles Children's Dentistry provides quality services while making children feel safe when receiving treatment. From the dental assistants to the office staff, everyone is friendly and kind. My 6 year old who tends to be nervous about certain experiences is actually EXCITED to go to the dentist! This truly shows how pleasant her experiences have been with all staff.

I couldn’t be happier we found First Smiles Children’s Dentistry. We came here to get a second opinion for treatment my son ,who is 4 needed done. Our previous dentist didn’t want to give us a second chance since our son was a bit scared at the first attempt of doing treatment. He was really pushing to put him under. As a parent I wanted to try one more time before going down that route, but I didn’t have the option. So we found First Smiles Children’s Density, who did give us that second chance, they welcomed us and made my son feel extremely comfortable. My son just had his second treatment

Dr. Bains is wonderful, we always have a please visit and he’s to the point and always recommends his honest opinion and what’s best for the patient. Katie is always so helpful and professional when I call in and has made us feel comforted knowing we can reach the office at any emergency. The dental assistants have all been gracious with my daughter even at times when she’s stubborn and not willing to open her mouth. They are patient and willing to go the extra mile to get what needs to be done. We are truly grateful for finding this practice and always recommend to anyone asking for a pediatric

I have been taking my 3 girls here for years. The ladies that work here are always so sweet with them, and make them feel comfortable. They make balloon animals and swords for the kids at the end of their visit! Dr. Bangs is a very calm and gentle dentist. He is very good when it comes to filings and I feel he is conservative and flexible when putting together treatment plans.
