Services
Pediatric Dental Exams
Regular dental exams ensure early detection of oral health issues in children. Our gentle approach includes thorough evaluations of teeth, gums, and oral tissues to maintain optimal dental health. We recommend biannual visits for preventive care and early intervention when needed.
Preventive Care
Our preventive services include professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to protect children's teeth from decay. These treatments help maintain strong enamel and prevent cavities in hard-to-brush areas, forming the foundation for lifelong oral health.
Restorative Dentistry
We provide tooth-colored fillings, crowns, and pulp therapy to repair damaged teeth in children. Our restorative treatments address decay and trauma while prioritizing comfort and aesthetics, ensuring children maintain healthy, functional smiles.
Sedation Dentistry
For anxious patients, we offer nitrous oxide and other sedation options to ensure comfortable dental visits. Our safe, controlled sedation methods help children relax during procedures while maintaining consciousness and cooperation.
Emergency Care
We provide prompt treatment for dental emergencies including toothaches, broken teeth, and injuries. Our team addresses urgent issues with gentle care to alleviate pain and preserve dental health while ensuring children feel safe and supported.

Report
I would not recommend this place because they told me to call other local dentist for an emergency situation. I WAS ADIVSED TO CALL ALL THE OTHER LOCAL DENTIST TO REMOVE A FAULTY SPACER. I Advised that even though I was 15 hours from our dentist and just need the spacer removed. So with that being said the emergency services here and advertised are weak at best. And I wish I could rate them a zero due to how helpful they are

The front desk staff are so friendly. We are always seen on time (or with very little wait time). The clinic is very clean and the hygienists are very kid friendly and patient. Dr. Salar is awesome. Very knowledgeable, patient and willing to discuss the options and explain pros and cons.

Such a great experience! Very welcoming and calming atmosphere. Everyone there made such a great effort to ensure that our daughter's first trip to the dentist wasn't horrifying. We have found our daughter's dentist!

We normally struggle taking our 4 year old to the dentist because he is afraid; however, the patient care here is amazing. They are sweet and very patient with my son. Today we successfully took X-ray and did cleaning. I drive quite a distance to visit this office and will continue to drive as I haven't found another office like this one closer to home
