Services
Laser Dentistry
Our state-of-the-art dental lasers provide efficient, conservative treatments for cavities, soft tissue procedures, and gum disease. These advanced techniques offer faster healing and greater comfort compared to traditional methods while maintaining precision in treating young patients. Laser technology enables minimally invasive care that reduces anxiety and promotes positive dental experiences.
Pediatric Sedation
We offer nitrous oxide and IV sedation options for anxious patients or extensive treatments. Our board-certified anesthesiologists ensure safe, comfortable procedures while maintaining conscious sedation for cooperative care. This approach helps children receive necessary dental work without developing fear-based associations with dental visits.
Myofunctional Orthodontics
Specialized appliances address improper oral muscle function and promote optimal facial development. This early intervention approach corrects breathing patterns and jaw alignment issues through non-invasive methods that support long-term oral health and proper airway formation without traditional braces.
CBCT Scanning
Our i-CAT 3D scan technology provides comprehensive diagnostic imaging of teeth, jaws, and airways. This advanced system enables precise treatment planning for complex cases while minimizing radiation exposure through digital imaging techniques that deliver high-definition anatomical details.
Infant Frenectomy
Using BabyLase and Waterlase lasers, we perform gentle frenectomies for infants with tongue or lip ties. These procedures improve breastfeeding function and prevent developmental issues through non-invasive techniques that promote immediate healing without sutures or traditional surgical trauma.

One word to describe my experience with Ashburn Children's Dentistry is upsetting. I find myself getting upset every time I even think about this place. We wasted precious time, resources and money here. The doctor there told me that my son had a severe lip and tongue tie and that he was being referred immediately for a sleep study and to a cranial osteopathy doctor. Weeks went by. No one called.
I followed up with Ashburn Children's Dentistry several times and was repeatedly told that I would be sent the information for my son's referrals to my email. Never received anything. I called and left messages. They stopped returning my calls. So like I said before. It was a complete waste of our time, resources and money. Ashburn Children's Dentistry took our money and did nothing for us and my son is who had to suffer from their negligence.

I CANNOT emphasize enough how much I adore this place. Recently, I took my 3 year old special needs son for a cleaning. I was a little apprehensive considering he does not act like a typical child. My concerns quickly dissipated upon arrival. Through the entire process they were extremely understanding and accommodating based upon his needs. Megs is a wonder dental hygienist and was very patient with my son. Dr. Lynda gave some excellent advice and also displayed great patience while evaluating. Also special shout out to the front desk staff! They were great!

Our experience has been great! From office staff to dentist. My baby had 5 ties/buccal (both lips, tongue, and both cheeks) and I went in very overwhelmed and honestly felt defeated. They provided me with education, compassion, and quality service from the beginning of our journey until the end. Dr. Lynda and her staff go above and beyond. She even texted at 10pm the night of my daughter's revisions to make sure all was well. They are professional, reliable, affordable, and friendly. And you can tell the staff enjoys their jobs and are respectful of each other. I can't say enough positive.wish I could give 6 stars!

My 3 boys love going to "the dentist with the tree". We've been traveling 4 hours one way to see Dr. Lynda since my first baby was 8 weeks old. Her knowledge and expertise is invaluable. She has treated each of my boys' tongue ties and is the reason I was able to continue breastfeeding. The office staff is professional and courteous and their customer service is second to none.

We have been coming to see Dr Lynda since the kids were 2. She is amazing with all children and my youngest has autism and she works beautifully with him. My niece is extremely reluctant to go to the dentist but loves to visit Dr Lynda. They were also able to do sedation dentistry in office instead of going to the hospital.
