Welcome!
Children's Dental Care firmly believes that every child deserves a great smile. That’s why we specialize in Pediatric Dentistry, the practice of children’s dentistry. From the time your child grows their first tooth until they graduate from high school - our professional staff will help care for and protect your child’s smile.
And because children are so different from adults, we take a unique approach to every patient.
We’ll help ensure each visit your child makes to the dentist is a great experience.
We are available Monday - Friday from 7:30 to 5:00.

Our dental staff is specially trained in dealing with children’s dental needs. Our gentle, child-centered approach helps young patients understand and enjoy their dental experience. When necessary and appropriate, we can use behavior techniques (such as laughing gas) to help children receive proper dental care. Our goal is to help your child receive a positive and effective dental visit every time, and build trust and confidence over time. This has been proven to result in a lifetime of great dental experiences and dental health.
Our administrative staff has extensive knowledge in pediatric dentistry to assist in any questions you may have regarding procedures, insurance, and payments.
Our Policies
Emergencies
In case of a dental emergency please call one of our offices for further instructions on how to either reach our on-call clinic staff member.
How are Appointments Scheduled?
The office attempts to schedule appointments at your convenience and when time is available. Preschool children should be seen in the morning because they are fresher and we can work more slowly with the child for their comfort. School children with a lot of work to be done should be seen in the morning for the same reason. Dental appointments are an excused absence. Missing school can be kept to a minimum when regular dental care is continued.
Please make every effort to keep scheduled appointments. Once an appointment is scheduled, it is considered confirmed. If an appointment needs to be rescheduled, a 48 hour notice is appreciated.
Insurance & Payment Procedures
Dental care for children is an important part of their total health program. We believe that caring for your child's teeth should not become a financial burden for you. In the event that full payment is not possible at the time services are rendered, we have some payment methods that may assist you.
If you have dental insurance you are aware that these plans vary greatly. We will help you review your benefits. For your convenience, we also accept major credit cards.

Our team is dedicated to great dental experiences.
We, along with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recommend you bring your child for their first check-up when their first tooth appears or by their first birthday.
During your first visit, you will be introduced to our children’s dental team and have a tour of our office. We will also discuss your child’s unique smile and ways to keep it beautiful for years to come.
We request that you complete our New Patient Forms prior to arriving for your appointment. This helps our office keep you and everyone else’s scheduled visit on time.
Your initial exam will last approximately 30 minutes. Oral hygiene instructions will be given with suggestions to help you and your child care for their teeth. In most cases, we will clean your child's teeth on this visit and provide an evaluation that will outline any existing dental problems and proposed treatment.
Help us by having your first visit forms filled out when you arrive.
Please download, print and complete.
Pediatric Dentistry is the dental specialty recognized by the American Dental Association which encompasses comprehensive dental care for all children, from infancy through adolescence. A children’s dental specialist is a practitioner who, after becoming a general dentist (often called a family dentist), has completed an additional two years of post-doctoral training in the recognition and treatment of children’s dental and orthodontic problems. Specialty education includes child psychology, behavior guidance, preventive techniques, restorative dentistry, interceptive and comprehensive orthodontic care (braces), and the treatment of children with special needs.
A thorough exam will be done to evaluate the health of your child’s teeth, gums and mouth. We will evaluate your child's growth and development and check to make sure your child's oral development is on track. We will make child specific recommendations for the need of sealants, fluoride and other services based on your child's individual needs and habits.
Our doctors are trained to evaluate proper positioning of teeth and jaw structures, checking for the influence of any habits your child may have.
Establishing Your Child’s Dental Home
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry encourages parents and other care providers to help every child establish a dental home by 12 months of age. Establishing a dental home provides some key components to dental care for your child including...
- Comprehensive oral health care including acute care and preventive services.
- Individualized preventive dental health program based upon a caries-risk assessment.
- Guidance regarding growth and development.
- Plan for acute dental trauma (emergencies).
- Dietary counseling.
- Referrals to dental specialists when care cannot directly be provided within the dental home.
- Referral at an age determined by patient, parent, and pediatric dentist.

We offer orthodontics for both children and adults.
Our orthodontists can do a consultation for you to determine what kind of treatment is needed. At the first orthodontic appointment, our orthodontist will perform a detailed examination of the dental (teeth) and skeletal (jaw) relationship and their relationship to the face. She or he will also review your child’s health history and additional records (e.g. x-rays) which may be available at that time.
After the examination, our orthodontist will review his or her findings with you and give you preliminary information of the existing orthodontic problem and treatment solutions. This is a complimentary initial examination.
If treatment is recommended at this time, our treatment coordinator will go over the series of appointments needed to begin treatment, and the estimated treatment cost and payment options.

At Childrens Dental Care, we pride ourselves on having multiple dental specialists under one roof so we can provide the most comprehensive and convenient care for you and your family. Our orthodontics specialists work very closely with our pediatric dentists in order to predict the ideal time to initiate orthodontic care. In many situations, we can catch issues that need early intervention that other dental offices may not.
We specialize in Phase1 orthodontic treatment, or interceptive orthodontics, that typically occurs between 6 and 9 years of age, during the mixed dentition phase, when patients begin to lose their baby teeth. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children get a checkup with an orthodontist no later than 7 years old. This is the best time to detect whether there are disturbances in jaw growth or tooth development that are more easily addressed at this age. In this phase, which generally only lasts 1 year, we use expanders, braces, and even Invisalign clear aligners that are super comfortable and easy to clean.
We also provide comprehensive orthodontic care for your teenager and even our moms and dads. Family discounts, low payments, and flexible no-interest payment plans are all available at our office. If you have any concerns about yours or your child's teeth, we can provide you a complimentary exam with our orthodontic specialist.

"5 stars is not enough stars for this place! The entire place is jungle themed and the waiting room has a little gaming area and a little play room. The staff is so helpful and friendly and they go above and beyond to make sure the children are comfortable at their visit! They let me know my daughter needs fillings and went over every step of what they will be doing and how they will be sedating her and reassured me no one will leave her side and that I'm more than welcome to be back there while they do them. I literally can not say enough good things about this place"
