Services
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry services focus on preventive care and early intervention for infants through teenagers. We provide comprehensive examinations, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to protect developing teeth. Our specialists use child-friendly techniques to create positive dental experiences that establish lifelong oral health habits. With specialized training in pediatric dental care, we address unique needs including behavior management and treatment of dental trauma in young patients.
Orthodontics
Our orthodontic services offer comprehensive teeth alignment solutions for children and adults. We provide traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign aligners to correct bite issues and improve dental aesthetics. Early intervention options help guide jaw development while adult treatments focus on achieving optimal alignment. Our specialists create personalized treatment plans using advanced diagnostic tools to ensure precise tooth movement and lasting results.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom-made clear aligners. This system gradually shifts teeth into proper alignment without metal brackets or wires. The removable trays allow normal eating and oral hygiene routines while providing comfortable, nearly invisible orthodontic correction for both teens and adults seeking aesthetic smile improvements.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants provide protective coatings for children's molars to prevent decay in hard-to-clean grooves. Applied as liquid resin that bonds to tooth surfaces, these thin coatings create barriers against plaque and acids. Recommended for permanent molars as soon as they erupt, sealants offer long-lasting protection that significantly reduces cavity risk in developing teeth.
Infant Dental Care
Our infant dental care services emphasize early oral health education and preventive treatments. We provide comprehensive examinations of emerging teeth, guidance on proper hygiene techniques, and dietary recommendations to prevent early childhood caries. Regular checkups help monitor dental development while establishing positive dental experiences that create comfortable lifelong patients.

Went for a consultation and took my own x rays. ( we opted to go with a different office for services ) They have sent me a bill for 250.00. I have called multiple times for clarification with no call back. They have now sent me to a collection agency. I give No stars!

Dr. Gokli and the entire staff at PDOVA are absolutely amazing. From the upbeat greeting with which they answer the phone to their kind and courteous service in office, patients (and their parents) are sure to get top notch service. I'm thrilled that we chose PDOVA to meet his dental needs. We can't say thank you enough!

Doctor Bridges and her staff are professional and a caring group of Professionals. They make you feel part of a family bonding. I want to especially thank Ms. Cat and my attending assistant Ms. Yadira. Doctor Bridges is an amazing individual and her professionalism reflects in the staff she surrounds herself with. Thank you all for a job well done.

The staff at PDOVA is always friendly and helpful. They are easy to work with regarding appointments. They are easy to get in touch with if we had questions or needed their assistance. And most importantly my child is very happy with her results. I have another getting ready to need braces/Invisalign also and we will definitely be going to PDOVA.
