Services
Pediatric Dental Exams
Our comprehensive dental exams establish oral health baselines for children. We perform thorough evaluations of teeth, gums, and bite development while making young patients feel comfortable. Early detection of potential issues allows for timely interventions that prevent future complications.
Preventive Dental Care
We develop customized home care routines to maintain optimal oral health. Our preventive strategies include brushing techniques, flossing instruction, and dietary recommendations tailored to each child's specific needs and developmental stage.
Fluoride Varnish
We apply concentrated fluoride treatments during routine visits to strengthen tooth enamel. This preventive measure helps protect against decay by making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars.
Preventive Sealants
We apply protective coatings to back teeth chewing surfaces to prevent cavities. These sealants create a barrier against food particles and bacteria, particularly effective for molars with deep grooves and fissures.
Lip & Tongue Tie Release
Our specialists evaluate and treat lip and tongue ties that affect oral function. We use advanced laser technology for precise, minimally invasive procedures that improve feeding, speech, and oral development in children.

Great first time experience for my daughter. Everyone was very sweet, respectful and thorough to help my daughter understand what they were going to do. They let her touch the tools they would use on her before starting to use it and that helps a lot. The office is very inviting to children with the fun mural and fish tank. Also, they gave her a balloon and a gift bag at the end, which was also a great way to end her experience. Thank you!

The staff made sure that my 4 year-old son was comfortable, was heard, and they frequently checked in with him if he had any worries or questions. The dentist and dental hygienist gave a generous take home bag and ballon as a parting gift. The front office staff generously asked my son to help them feed the beautiful fish in their large lobby aquarium. My son left feeling like he made new friends. Thank you Pediatric Dental Associates. :

My son is a new patient to Pediatric Dental and the front desk staff was so kind and friendly and even though my son felt nervous they made him feel more comfortable immediately! Dr. Justin was fantastic along with his assistant who helped ease my son and answered all of our questions thoroughly! We are extremely happy to have joined Pediatric Dental as our son's new dentist.

Absolutely beautiful and calm office. Every person working there was warm and welcoming. They offered detailed information and shared their plan for my son as the appointment progressed. I've never felt more comfortable, knowledgeable and ready for the next steps. My son wants to go back and he felt like a star. They won him over the second we walked in the door. They know kids! I love that they were upfront with fees and that they were to able to schedule me much sooner than expected.

Let me start off by saying this location wasn't my first choice, but I'm so glad it was the second! It was the first time visit for my daughter and parents are just as nervous as the kiddos! The space is super inviting and the front staff are a delight! Their intake process is amazing and they go as far as ask what makes the child comfortable and their favorite colors for balloons and stickers! We saw Dr Justin and he was patient, through, and friendly toward my daughter. She was still scared but the overall environment made it much more enjoyable. I'm so glad we discovered this place!
