What We Do Best
White Zirconia Crowns
Strong, natural-looking, and metal-free—our white zirconia crowns are the perfect solution for restoring decayed or damaged teeth. As Sprig-certified and expertly-trained providers, we offer beautiful, durable crowns that blend right in with your child’s smile.
Safe Sedation Options
Dental visits don’t have to be stressful. With expert-led sedation options—including laughing gas, oral sedation, and both in-office and hospital-based general anesthesia—we help kids feel calm, comfortable, and confident throughout their care.
Preventive Care
We believe the best dental work is the kind you can avoid. With regular checkups, cleanings, and early intervention, our team helps stop cavities before they start—keeping your child’s smile healthy, strong, and stress-free.
Gentle Frenectomies
Tongue- and lip-ties can affect everything from feeding to speech. We use advanced laser technology to perform quick, comfortable frenectomies right in our office—no hospital visit needed, just gentle, expert care.
