Services
Pediatric Dental Exams
Our comprehensive dental exams for infants and children focus on preventive care and early detection. For infants, we emphasize parental education about feeding practices and oral hygiene. Children receive thorough evaluations of tooth development, jaw growth, and orthodontic needs using specialized pediatric equipment. Our Tell-Show-Do technique helps children understand procedures while knee-to-knee exams provide parental comfort and visibility.
Esthetic Restorations
We use mercury-free, all-porcelain ceramic crowns and advanced restorative materials to treat dental decay. Our approach prioritizes both functionality and appearance while avoiding traditional amalgam fillings. Dentists explain all material options to parents, focusing on long-term oral health outcomes and aesthetic considerations for visible teeth.
Laser Frenectomy
This procedure releases tight frenums using advanced laser technology, often resolving breastfeeding difficulties in infants. Our dentists collaborate with certified lactation consultants during procedures to optimize feeding outcomes. Comprehensive aftercare guidance ensures proper healing and improved oral function for nursing mothers and babies.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer three sedation levels - nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and general anesthesia. Our pediatric specialists have advanced training in managing sedated patients, ensuring safety while completing necessary dental work. This approach benefits fearful children or those requiring extensive procedures.
Lactation Consulting
Our integrated lactation services address feeding challenges related to oral restrictions. Certified lactation consultants work alongside dentists to evaluate and treat lip/tongue ties affecting breastfeeding. We provide comprehensive support from prenatal consultations through post-procedure feeding assistance.
