Services
Laser Dentistry
Pediatric Laser Dentistry uses advanced Solea laser technology for minimally invasive treatments. This method reduces pain, bleeding, and healing time while treating cavities, tongue-ties, and gum lesions. The precision technology preserves healthy tissue while effectively addressing dental issues in children.
Dental Fillings
Pediatric Dental Fillings restore teeth damaged by decay using tooth-colored composite resin. The process involves numbing the area, removing decay, and placing durable fillings that blend naturally with teeth. Laser technology enhances precision while minimizing discomfort during treatment.
Gentle Exams
Gentle Exams and Cleanings provide preventive care through bi-annual dental visits. These appointments include comprehensive oral examinations, professional cleaning, fluoride treatments, and personalized hygiene education. Early detection helps prevent complex dental issues in growing children.
Special Needs Dentistry
Special Needs Dentistry accommodates children with developmental, sensory, or cognitive conditions. Customized treatment plans incorporate behavior management techniques, sensory-friendly environments, and specialized equipment to ensure comfortable dental experiences for patients with unique requirements.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation Dentistry options include nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation for anxious patients. These methods help children relax during procedures while maintaining safety through careful monitoring. Sedation enables efficient treatment for complex cases or extensive dental work.

I love the staff and Dr. Zotovich.everyone is great! My youngest has a very difficult time due to past experiences, but they are so patient with him. I really appreciate their patience, them giving me options about care and taking the time to explain them. I was going to them unfortunately lost my insurance and had to go to another dentist and I saw the difference right away. I decided to pay for insurance just so that I can go back to them. I can assure you that your children will be in good hands.

Going to Dr. Zotovich was the best decision I made for my daughter. We had been to several other dentist who gave us the runaround and made it very difficult to get my daughter help. After the first visit Dr Zotovich he made both of us very comfortable and took her right away as a patient. She had her dentist appointment and they did a wonderful job and he fixed her teeth and she felt comfortable and safe and we love the whole office from his assistants to his office manager.
I recommend Dr zotovich for every child he will help you and make it a wonderful experience so they will always take care of their teeth. Thank you Dr zotovich and everyone that works in your office. Sincerely Melissa

Report
My main concern was not having my son being strapped down as this was the reason why we changed our last dentist. The last dentist tromatized my son and this was explained to Ralph during our consultation. I specifically told him I wouldn't proceed with the dental work if this was their practice. He said "No" so we proceeded with the dental work. Well it turns out they did strap my son down afterall.
My son was crying and a angry when we left. I was so upset when I left their office and I didn't make a big deal because I didn't want to make a scene. Well I decided to visit another dentist and a year later was told that the fillings needed to be redone because they were not done correctly. Beware.
