Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry services focus on comprehensive oral health care for children from infancy through adolescence. We provide routine checkups, preventive treatments, and specialized care for developing teeth. Our approach emphasizes early detection of dental issues, habit counseling, and creating positive dental experiences. Services include dental exams, cleanings, fluoride applications, and guidance on proper oral hygiene practices tailored to each child's developmental stage.
Orthodontic Assessments
We offer orthodontic evaluations starting at age 7 to monitor jaw development and tooth alignment. Our assessments identify potential bite issues, crowding, or spacing problems. When needed, we provide early intervention guidance and referrals to trusted orthodontic specialists. This proactive approach helps ensure optimal dental development and may reduce future treatment complexity through timely intervention.
Dental Fillings
We treat childhood cavities using tooth-colored composite fillings that blend naturally with developing smiles. Our team employs child-friendly terminology and gentle techniques to make the experience comfortable. The procedure involves removing decayed tissue, applying a durable resin material, and polishing the restoration. These fillings restore tooth function while maintaining aesthetic appearance and preventing further decay progression.
Dental Crowns
For extensive dental damage, we provide stainless steel crowns that protect weakened primary teeth until natural exfoliation. These durable restorations preserve tooth structure, maintain proper spacing for permanent teeth, and restore chewing function. We use playful explanations to help children understand the treatment, referring to crowns as 'princess crowns' or 'Iron Man teeth' to create positive associations with the procedure.
Special Needs Care
Our practice offers tailored dental care for children with special healthcare needs. We create individualized treatment plans that consider each patient's unique requirements. Services include modified examination techniques, behavior management strategies, and specialized equipment like papoose boards for safety. When appropriate, we utilize sedation options to ensure comfortable care while maintaining the highest standards of safety and compassion.

Great dentist. Even better person. Great staff. Any dentist will take care of you when you make an appointment far in future. When your child has an emergency all you want is to make is better ASAP. Dr. Gjebre cares about the kids he cares for and gets you right in when you have a problem. He is great with kids and super patient and friendly. Highly recommend!

I've worked in the dental industry for 28 years, so when it comes to picking dentists for my family, I only go with the very best in the country. Dr. Gjebre fits this bill! Both of my sons have been patients for 13 years. You won't find better care, compassion, or a more kid friendly environment than his office! Neglect of young teeth results in bad things happening. Book your appointment today knowing you are getting the absolute best care in our region!

I escorted a child with autism who would visit this dentist regularly. The dentist and entire office staff were so awesome! They would be amazing for any kids but they really did well dealing with this special needs child who could be very difficult. The waiting room is full of toys including a mini basketball half court. They were the best pediatric dentist you could imagine!
