Many children are afraid of the dentist. I feel it is my responsibility to do everything I can to help children not be scared and actually look forward to caring for their oral health. I go home happy if I have had a positive impact on a young patient: whether that was a worry-free first visit, improving a little boy or girl's self-esteem with a restored smile or a fixed broken tooth, or relieving a throbbing toothache.
We recognize that all our young patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your child to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
Working with children is one of the most rewarding things you can ask for. There is no better feeling than helping a child transform themselves from having tears at the thought of going to the dentist to jumping up and high-fiving you once the procedure is over! In the years I have been practicing, I have found myself increasingly drawn to working with children with special needs.
I love that dentistry is both a science and an art: we use our science and medical education to diagnose disease and facilitate care, while also working hands-on to treat problems and relieve pain. Being able to combine these two aspects of healthcare, all with a focus on growing smiles, is especially rewarding.
Our practice prides itself on quality, comprehensive pediatric dental care in a fun and child-friendly setting. All our doctors are board-certified pediatric dentists.
As pediatric dentists (which is different from general dentists that see kids), our doctors completed an additional two years of education, then furthered their education by passing a rigorous written and oral board exam to earn their certification with the American Board of Pediatric Dentists.

I took my son in for his first dentist appointment this week. This is the best place for your children. They're patient, kind, understanding, and very helpful. My son wasn't scared at all and had the best time! If your kid's are ready for their first appointment or any dental work, definitely bring them here!
