Services
Orthodontic Treatment
We offer comprehensive orthodontic solutions including traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign aligners. Our board-certified specialists create personalized treatment plans to correct alignment issues and create lasting smiles. Using advanced SureSmile technology, we reduce treatment time while maintaining precision. Our team works with patients of all ages to achieve optimal dental alignment and improved oral health through modern orthodontic techniques.
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dental services focus on creating positive dental experiences for children starting at age one. Specialized care includes routine checkups, cavity prevention, and emergency treatment in a child-friendly environment. Our board-certified pediatric dentists use minimally invasive techniques like ICON resin infiltration and silver diamine fluoride treatments. We emphasize early oral health education to establish lifelong dental hygiene habits in a comfortable, welcoming setting designed for young patients.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom-made clear aligners. This technology straightens teeth without metal brackets or wires, making it ideal for teens and adults seeking aesthetic solutions. Our specialists utilize digital imaging to create precise treatment plans, with aligners that can be removed for eating and cleaning. Invisalign provides effective results while maintaining comfort and convenience throughout the orthodontic process.
Sedation Dentistry
We provide safe sedation options for children requiring complex dental procedures or experiencing dental anxiety. Our specialists are trained in administering oral sedation and monitoring patients throughout treatment. This service ensures comfortable care for children with special needs, extensive treatment requirements, or fear-related challenges. Sedation is carefully tailored to each child's medical history and dental needs under strict safety protocols.
Dental Sealants
Protective dental sealants offer effective cavity prevention for children's permanent molars. Applied as a thin plastic coating on tooth surfaces, sealants create a barrier against plaque and acids. This quick, painless procedure is recommended for children aged 6-14 when their back teeth erupt. Combined with regular checkups and proper hygiene, sealants significantly reduce decay risk in hard-to-clean areas of developing teeth.

Report
Some months after the removal of the brackets, our teen had two spots that needed to be filled directly under where the glue had been. The dentist said it was most likely due to careless removal of the brackets since there were no signs of decay, and our teen has NEVER HAD A CAVITY.

I took my 2 yr old daughter for her very first dental appointment today and Jaime was incredible with her. Explained every tool in easy non-intimidating ways, got great buy in from my daughter, and had such a cheerful easy manner than we actually had a great time. No tears and my daughter wants to go back. Can't thank Jamie enough for a great first experience! The actual dentist (I forgot her name) could have been more gentle and patient and completely ignored me when I asked her to be more gentle. She seemed very pressed for time. I'd go back for Jamie.

Our hygienist Jamie was absolutely amazing this morning! She was great with our unpredictable toddler and knew exactly how to interact with her to reduce anxiety. We got through an entire cleaning without any issues whatsoever. Both Dr. Itty and Jamie were incredibly thorough and really took the time to teach and explain things which I really appreciated. I cannot express enough how happy I am with this practice!

We know this clinic since 2011. Dr Julie and her entire staff is excellent. My sons and daughters have seen most of the dentists in this clinic. We highly recommend Affiliated Pediatric Dentistry for kids.
