Services
Pediatric dental exams
Our comprehensive dental exams for children include oral cancer screenings, bite assessments, and developmental evaluations. We use child-friendly techniques to make examinations comfortable while identifying potential issues early. Our exams incorporate educational components to teach proper oral hygiene habits.
Zirconia crowns
We provide durable zirconia crowns for children requiring restorative treatment. These tooth-colored crowns offer natural aesthetics while maintaining strength for back teeth. The material resists staining and wear, making it ideal for pediatric patients.
Sedation dentistry
Our practice offers multiple sedation options including nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. This allows us to treat children with dental anxiety, special needs, or complex requirements in a comfortable environment. We have in-office IV sedation privileges for advanced cases.
Frenectomy procedures
We perform frenectomies for infants and children diagnosed with ankyloglossia. This procedure improves tongue mobility for better feeding and speech development. Our team uses modern techniques to ensure minimal discomfort and quick recovery.
Emergency dental care
Our practice provides immediate care for dental emergencies including chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, and toothaches. We offer guidance for at-home care while en route to our office and prioritize emergency appointments for prompt treatment.
