Pediatric Dentistry
Our board-certified specialists provide comprehensive dental care tailored to children's developmental needs. From first teeth to teen years, we offer preventive checkups, restorative treatments, and orthodontic monitoring in a welcoming environment designed to reduce anxiety. Our approach combines clinical expertise with child-friendly communication techniques to create positive lifelong dental habits.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer safe sedation options for anxious patients or complex treatments. Services include nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and hospital-based general anesthesia administered by trained professionals. These methods help children with special needs, dental phobias, or extensive treatment requirements receive necessary care comfortably while maintaining strict safety protocols throughout the process.
Emergency Dentistry
Our team provides prompt care for urgent dental issues including toothaches, broken teeth, and facial injuries. We offer same-day appointments and specialized treatment plans for traumatic dental events. With three locations and after-hours guidance, we ensure children receive timely interventions to relieve pain and prevent complications from unexpected oral health crises.
Special Needs Dentistry
We specialize in treating children with developmental, medical, or behavioral challenges through individualized treatment plans. Our sensory-friendly environment, behavioral management techniques, and hospital dentistry options accommodate patients with autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, and other conditions. The team collaborates closely with families to create customized care strategies that prioritize patient comfort and long-term oral health.
Nitrous Oxide
This mild sedative helps children relax during dental procedures while remaining fully conscious. Administered through a nasal mask, nitrous oxide takes effect quickly and wears off shortly after treatment. Ideal for anxious patients or minor procedures, it creates a comfortable experience without needles or prolonged recovery time while maintaining safety for children of all ages.

Dr Chris and his staff are phenomenal. They move quickly, are comforting and kind. My 6yo was very nervous for her procedure there before it began but felt completely at ease during it. I can not say enough great things about the incredible job they did!

My oldest has gone here 14 years and has perfect teeth never had a cavity. He's had a baby tooth removed before. They're great. And not to mention the beautiful office they have with amazing artwork. My 10 year old goes here too and has needed more work than my 14 on his baby teeth. Glad his adult teeth are coming in. Hopefully healthier than his baby teeth.

My child's 1st time to this dentist office. Amazing experience, definitely our new dental home. The front desk was kind and helpful. My 7 year old had his cleaning and Dr. Brian Park explained to me in detail the pro's and con's of his tooth problems with the x-rays. Dr. Brian provided great care and made my child feel very comfortable during the extraction. He explained in a fun way what will happen next. Great office and staff!

I cannot say anything bad about this place! My daughter loves all of the doctors. They are always friendly to us and get us in and out very fast. I don't give a 5 star because am sure no place is completely perfect but I will always recommend them

I switched from another local pediatric dentist to this office and the experience has been awesome. The facility is state of the art, bright and clean. The staff is so helpful and just lovely to interact with. I'm so glad we changed dentists for my girl.
