Services
Preventive Dentistry
Our preventive dentistry services focus on maintaining optimal oral health through regular checkups, professional cleanings, and patient education. We offer age-appropriate guidance to help children develop proper brushing and flossing habits while monitoring dental development. Our team provides personalized recommendations for cavity prevention and oral hygiene maintenance.
Emergency Dentistry
We provide urgent dental care for children experiencing dental trauma, tooth pain, or oral injuries. Our team offers prompt treatment for broken teeth, dental infections, and other emergency situations requiring immediate attention. We prioritize same-day appointments for urgent cases to relieve discomfort quickly.
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative services address dental damage and decay through fillings, crowns, and other repair treatments. We use child-friendly techniques to restore tooth function while minimizing discomfort. Our metal-free filling options provide durable, natural-looking results for developing smiles.
Dental Sealants
We apply dental sealants to protect children's molars from decay by sealing deep grooves where food particles accumulate. This preventive treatment creates a smooth surface that's easier to clean while providing long-term cavity protection for permanent teeth.
Mouth Guards
Custom-fitted mouth guards protect children's teeth during sports activities. We create personalized oral protectors that fit comfortably while preventing dental injuries from contact sports or grinding during sleep.

Atlantis Dentistry is an absolutely amazing, caring, group of Dentists and staff who love their clients and their families. They are gentle, thorough, professional, and respectful in everything they do, and treat each of their clients as individuals. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

This is the absolute worst dentist I have ever encountered. They were extremely mean to our four year old and had her screaming extremely loudly to the point I could hear her all the way in the waiting room. I have never dealt with a medical practice this unprofessional and disrespectful. I highly recommend avoiding this dental practice at all costs.

Absolutely LOVE this dentist for my 8 year old son! Everyone there is so kind and gentle, I highly recommend due to the professionalism also. My son previously visited Dr. Jeffries Denistry and it went horrible, but it was also his first time in his 7 years of living being at the dentist. So it was an experience, that did not end so well. I was referred Atlantis Denistry by a friend and discovered quite a few of our family members and friends actually go here. Long story short- they take great care of my son and leave me with good tips on caring for your teeth. Thank you all so much for everything.

AWESOME Pediatric Dentists! I can HONESTLY say that everyone at Atlantis Dentistry is caring, kind and genuinely ready to help EVERY CHILD with their dental needs. My daughter had a tooth that was bothering her & hurting her when she would eat. Atlantis got her in to fix it ASAP. They have always gone the extra mile for my kids when needed. My boys are now 25 & 30, however they too were fortunate to have Atlantis Dentistry when they were much younger. So when it comes to Atlantis Dentistry, my family has a LONG HISTORY with them and I have nothing but GREAT things to say about them. 5 Most Definitely! and More!
