Our Practice
Mission
Thank you for selecting our office to meet your child's dental needs. Our office is specifically designed for treating children from infancy through adolescence, as well as the medically and physically compromised.
The philosophy of our office is focused on the prevention of dental disease through education and early treatment. Our commitment is to provide your child with the best possible dental health care in a caring, warm and FUN environment.
Our goals are to have our families look forward to coming back to see us and to build a generation that likes to go to the dentist!!
The Pediatric Dentist
Pediatric Dentistry is an age-defined specialty that provides both primary and comprehensive preventative and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special health care needs.
The pediatric dentist is required to complete an extra two to three year residency program after dental school. They undergo extra training in growth and development, facial injuries, restorative, orthodontic, and preventive care, hospital dentistry, child psychology, and behavior management.
Virtual Tour
This is the fun part. The look and feel of our office is very unique. We have a "tropical/maritime forest to the beach" theme. Children walk through our “child-sized” entry door and are greeted by our friendly team, a large wooden boat, tropical life sized mural, thatched umbrella, a fish tank, and friendly music. The river in the carpet leads the children to our large open bay with vaulted ceilings, large windows, murals, and “surfboards” as dental chairs. Our chairs are comfortable padded benches that are already in the down position. After treatment the children can play in our playroom equipped with multiple bookshelves, a large television, video games, and a large built-in toy box.
Our parents can relax and enjoy some coffee or tea from our refreshment room and browse over our many magazines.
