Services
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry services focus on early oral health development, offering comprehensive exams, preventive care, and specialized treatments tailored to children's unique needs. We emphasize education and parental involvement to establish lifelong dental habits. Our approach combines advanced technology with child-friendly techniques to create positive dental experiences.
Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup while educating children on proper oral hygiene techniques. Our hygienists use gentle methods to ensure comfort during twice-yearly visits recommended by the American Dental Association. These sessions include fluoride treatments and dietary advice to prevent decay.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative treatments address dental decay and trauma using composite fillings and crowns to preserve natural teeth. We employ minimally-invasive techniques and sedation options for anxious patients. Our goal is to restore both function and aesthetics while preventing future complications.
Special Needs Care
Customized dental care for children with special needs incorporates flexible treatment approaches and sensory-friendly environments. Our experienced team modifies procedures to accommodate physical, developmental, and cognitive requirements while maintaining high clinical standards.
Athletic Mouth Guards
Custom-fitted athletic mouth guards protect against sports-related dental injuries. We provide precise impressions for optimal comfort and protection during contact activities. These guards help prevent tooth fractures, lip injuries, and jaw trauma during athletic participation.

Mr. & Mrs. DR's Mulvey are amazing! They're kind and informative. They have a fantastic team that is always courteous. My son whose 8 loves coming to the dentist. We've been coming here since he was born and now my daughter goes as well. I can't tell you how comfortable dr mulvey made her. She's 2 and he showed her and let her feel all instruments he used so she wouldn't be frightened. This amount of care and compassion is so reassuring. I will continue to come here with my kiddos and I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for fantastic dentist for kids.
