Early evaluations at age seven help guide jaw development and ensure proper alignment for healthy, functional smiles.

Our certified anesthesiologists ensure comfortable treatment experiences while maintaining strict safety protocols. This service enables comprehensive care for patients requiring complex procedures or who struggle with cooperation.

Regular six-month checkups help detect and address early signs of decay, protecting both primary and permanent teeth from damage.

Questions
When should my child first visit the dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first visit between 6 months and 1 year of age to establish good oral health habits early.
How do you handle dental emergencies?
We prioritize emergency cases and will see your child the same day. For knocked-out permanent teeth, rinse the tooth, keep it moist, and visit us immediately for the best chance of saving it.
What are dental sealants and how do they work?
Sealants are protective coatings applied to back teeth grooves. They create smoother surfaces that are easier to clean, reducing cavity risk by preventing food particle accumulation in hard-to-reach areas.
Do you offer sedation options for anxious children?
Yes, we provide nitrous oxide, conscious sedation, and general anesthesia administered by certified anesthesiologists for children requiring additional support during dental procedures.
How can thumb sucking affect dental development?
Prolonged thumb sucking beyond age four can cause crooked teeth, palate deformities, and bite issues. We offer custom appliances and positive reinforcement strategies to help children break this habit effectively.
What payment options are available?
We accept Visa and MasterCard, offer financing with no initial payment, and work with insurance providers to maximize reimbursement. Our treatment coordinator helps create personalized payment plans for your family's needs.

Having a hard time getting ahold of a copy of my invoice to submit to my flex spending account. Going almost a full year. We have called left multiple message and no luck. Maybe they don't want to get pay. but doubt it and will probably ended up in collections due to the staff at this location. Don't go here, I'm pulling out my kids and taking them else where. A place where I'll can get help with customer support. Where I don't have to worry about trying to get my invoice with the correct information. From the reviews I'm not the only with this issue either.

I love this place, Dr Loveland is so kind, caring, friendly, fun, and patient he was able to do the work other dentists had said not possible, I wanted my kid to have the treatment merced i'm different appointments instead of fully sedation and Dr Loveland was able to do it in separate appointments and my son did just fine. I was able to not feel anxious, not feel pressure and more confident and relaxed here at his office. Also he is bilingual English/Spanish and everyone is so helpful. The place is clean and nice
