I can't say enough about how wonderful of an experience my son and I had here today! We drove from Fort Wayne after having a consultation that was horrific and recommending an extensive treatment plan that was priced at nearly 6k and would significantly alter my child's appearance! Found Growing Grins and drove 2 hours to have a consult with Dr. Morgan who was amazing with explaining things and taking into account my concerns.
She offered more than one treatment option and we ended up choosing an option that will only better my sons appearance for a small fraction of the cost that I was told in Fort Wayne! My son who is 3 is shy but when we walked out he said "they were nice dentists mama"! I can't recommend Growing Grins enough!

Phenomenal experience with Growing Grins! It's a beautiful facility with the nicest staff. I am so incredibly happy we found Growing Grins. My insurance had changed and I was needing to find an in network provider and though it ended up that my insurance does consider them out of network I felt it was worth it to keep them! They worked out all of the pre insurance information for me and let me know ahead of time what all the appointment would cost, but they would put it through to my insurance first. Such a helpful and understanding team!
