At the Children’s Center for Dentistry, we cater to kids and their unique needs. Every member of our team, from our doctors to our hygienists, assistants and front desk staff, LOVES working with children, and it shows in the care we provide. Our office is welcoming and clean and built specifically to accommodate the needs of children.
In addition to caring for children here in our office, our team members are also active in the community. We are devoted to ongoing education to stay on top of the latest developments in pediatric dentistry so that we can make sure that the families who come to us will always receive the most state-of-the-art care possible.
