Services
Routine Cleanings
Our routine cleanings include professional teeth cleaning, x-rays, and fluoride treatments every six months to maintain optimal oral health for children. Our hygienists use gentle techniques to ensure comfort while removing plaque and preventing dental issues. This proactive approach helps establish positive dental habits from an early age.
Digital X-Rays
We utilize digital x-ray technology to minimize radiation exposure while capturing detailed images of your child's teeth and jaw structure. This advanced imaging allows for accurate diagnosis of potential issues like cavities or developmental concerns, enabling timely and effective treatment planning.
Operating Room Dentistry
For extensive dental work or very young patients, we offer operating room dentistry with licensed anesthesiologists. This service enables completion of all necessary procedures in a single visit under general anesthesia, ensuring both safety and comprehensive care for children who require specialized attention.
Nitrous Oxide
We provide nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help anxious or restless children relax during dental procedures. This mild sedative keeps patients awake but calm, allowing us to perform treatments efficiently while maintaining a positive and stress-free experience for both child and parent.
Simple Fillings
Our team specializes in treating childhood cavities with durable, tooth-colored fillings that restore dental health while maintaining natural aesthetics. Using child-friendly techniques and materials, we address decay promptly to prevent complications and preserve your child's smile with minimal discomfort.

We haven't been to Dr. Andy since March 2020 and I normally expect to get scolded when going to the doctor or dentist. Welp, no scolding! LOL The dental hygienist was kind and considerate of my children's worries about getting their teeth done. And it didn't take very long at all! Remember, you still need to wear masks in the office, you want to keep all the workers safe.

It was our first visit and I appreciated being able to stay with my son during the visit! Dr. Andy and his staff talked through everything and really took the time to educate me and my son through the process.

Welcoming office environment with friendly staff. Providers and staff explained everything in detail using an engaging and respectful tone. They also handled my 1y.o. very gently and played with his airplane to get him comfortable before starting his cleaning checkup.

I wasn't sure about the reviews that were of the past of dr. Andy but he was great with my kids - He was nice and seemed happy doing his job. Dr. Danielle is great too. I will continue to be back for future appts. Dental hygienist both times were great. In a kids dentist office you have to be happy and outgoing and every encounter I've had with them so far they've been great. I'm usually in and out with no wait which is really great especially when you have kids.

I unfortunately can no long recommend this practice my children have been with this practice since they first opened they canceled my kids appointments due to a staff member getting COVID-19, They were completely un willing to work on scheduling a appointment at a time that works with our employment schedule & kids school commitments our previous appointment was made 6 months in advance to not conflict why I understand the staff members illnesses put them in a awful position they themselves should also be understanding and be mindful that parents might not have any paid time off available after a difficult school year is sad
