Services
Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent decay and gum disease. Our hygienists use gentle techniques tailored for children, ensuring comfort during the process. Regular cleanings every six months promote long-term oral health and fresh breath.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns restore damaged or decayed teeth to their natural shape and function. We use stainless steel or tooth-colored crowns for durability and aesthetics. Crowns protect weakened teeth and prevent further complications in growing mouths.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are applied to molars to block bacteria and food particles from hard-to-reach grooves. This preventive treatment reduces cavity risk by up to 80% in children. The quick, painless application ensures long-lasting protection for permanent teeth.
Laser Dentistry
Our Solea laser enables anesthesia-free, drill-free treatments for fillings, frenectomies, and soft tissue procedures. Laser technology minimizes discomfort and recovery time, allowing children to resume activities immediately after appointments.
Oral Health Exams
Biannual exams detect early signs of decay, alignment issues, or developmental concerns. Digital X-rays and visual inspections ensure comprehensive evaluations. Exams include personalized oral hygiene guidance for parents and children to maintain healthy smiles.

They were absolutely amazing with my children! Ranging ages 18 months to 8 years old. They knew how to interact with them and got us in and out in good time. So glad we found them!

They cared for my children wonderfully, which I very much appreciate. But, I got different information from the tech than I did from the doctor and that doesn't sit well with me and makes it hard to trust them.

We have such a great visit everytime we go. Everyone is always polite and even when my 5yr old is being a pain in the butt and not wanting to work with them they always are calm and get him to get what needs done, done.

I feel this place has gone down hill since Dr. Wade no longer practices. He was all about the kids, his patients but now I just get the feeling it's all about money and the staff have been super rude. After over 8yrs and 4 kids we will be finding another practice.
