Routine Cleanings
Professional teeth cleanings for children aged 0-18 using child-friendly techniques. Our hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup while educating kids about proper oral care. Each session includes fluoride treatment and digital X-rays when needed, followed by a prize selection to encourage positive dental habits.
Sedation Dentistry
Specialized sedation options for anxious or special needs patients. We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and general anesthesia administered by board-certified pediatric anesthesiologists. This ensures safe, comfortable treatment for children requiring complex procedures or experiencing dental phobia in our McKinney clinic.

Laser-assisted frenectomy procedures for infants and children with lip or tongue ties. Our specialists address breastfeeding difficulties in newborns and speech/developmental issues in older children. The procedure includes post-operative care guidance and lactation support for optimal recovery and functional improvement.

Our equipment uses 80% less radiation than traditional X-rays while providing immediate high-resolution images. We follow strict safety protocols to ensure child comfort during imaging procedures.

We searched for a pediatric dentist to handle my daughters difficult case after seeing several dentist in the area one appointment here and we were at ease. They fixed all the issues she was having quickly, it was affordable and they did a wonderful job! I have had issue come up on the weekend and they are there to help offer flexible ways to communicate and always get us in when we need! Now I bring both my kids here from Carrollton because this office is that great! We are lucky to have found them!

Love this office! Their hygienists are amazing with special needs kids, as well as the dentists and you can't beat the movies while they're getting their teeth cleaned. My son with autism has been able to get his teeth completely cleaned due to the patience of our hygienist Melissa. Highly recommend!
