It’s Different Here (In the Best Way)
Our office feels more like a beach house than a dental clinic. Kids relax, laugh, and build positive habits while parents feel reassured and respected. We believe in honesty, warmth, and making every visit something to look forward to.
Real Talk, Honest Dentistry
There’s no sales pressure here: just clear, straightforward care. Our board-certified pediatric dentists focus on prevention and provide restorative options only when needed. Parents appreciate that we explain every recommendation so decisions feel simple and informed.

Treatments
We offer care that grows with your child, focusing on prevention, comfort, and long-term confidence. Our treatments include:
Prophylaxis (Teeth Cleaning)
Routine six-month cleanings keep teeth healthy and gums strong. Kids enjoy the playful setting while we ensure smiles stay on track.
Topical Fluoride
Fluoride treatments strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of cavities, giving kids extra protection beyond toothpaste and water.
Dental Sealants
Applied quickly and comfortably, sealants protect molars from cavities by sealing off deep grooves where food can hide.
Tooth Colored Fillings
Composite resin repairs cavities while blending naturally with teeth, restoring both strength and appearance.
Bonding
Small chips or fractures are common for kids. Bonding restores the tooth’s shape and look in a fast, simple procedure.
Root Canal Treatment
When necessary, a root canal can save a baby tooth, helping maintain space for adult teeth and preserving chewing function.
Tooth Extractions
When teeth cannot be saved, or when they interfere with development, we make extractions gentle and supportive for kids.
Digital Impressions
No messy trays, our digital scans capture detailed images quickly, making orthodontics and restorations easier.
Dental Emergencies
From toothaches to injuries, we’re here to guide you and provide urgent care when needed.
Orthodontic Intervention
Our Ortho Suite offers early evaluations, braces, expanders, and Invisalign®. Starting early can simplify treatment down the road.
Child-Friendly Sedation
Some kids need extra help relaxing. We provide safe sedation tailored to their needs so visits feel manageable.
Restorative Treatment
When teeth are lost or damaged, restorative dentistry helps rebuild function and confidence.
Healthy Habit Coaching
We teach kids and parents how to care for teeth at home, with tips that stick and build lifelong routines.
From baby teeth through teen years, we’re here every step of the way.
