About Our Pediatric & Orthodontic Dental Office in El Paso
A Place for Kids to Have Fun & Parents to Relax
At Jim Bowden, DDS, our team strives to create an environment where kids feel free to explore, ask questions, and be themselves. In turn, this creates a space where parents feel comfortable enough to sit back, relax, and let us guide their children’s oral healthcare journey. We invite you to learn more about what makes our practice so unique below. If you love what you see, schedule a visit with us today!
The Only Dual-Specialist in Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics in El Paso

Dr. Bowden is one-of-a-kind! He is the only dual-trained specialist in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics in El Paso, and only one of a handful in the country. Because of this, our team is able to offer a full list of pediatric dental services in addition to orthodontic care, like braces for children, teenagers, and adults, clear aligners, and more. This means that you and your child can see the same experts you trust, regardless of your child’s dental needs.
30+ Years of Home-Grown Dental Care

There’s no place we would rather be than in El Paso. Dr. Bowden was raised in the community and attended college here, and he was even a part of the only high school basketball team to win the Texas State Championship! He truly loves his community, which is why he decided to come back to his hometown after going to dental school in San Antonio to raise his children here. Today, Dr. Bowden has the privilege of treating the children of his former patients after over 30 years of his practice being opened.
Our Office is Truly Out of This World

Our office is mesmerizing to kids and adults alike, as it’s outfitted with life-sized aliens, local and professional sports memorabilia, and so many cool things to do! After each visit, your child will receive a token for our awesome toy machines as well as an ice cream or popsicle. We also have regular prize giveaways for the kids as well as fun and engaging waiting room activities, like our Galaxy Theater, Playstation, and Nintendo Switch! Our office has regularly been described by our patients as the “Disneyland” of dental offices!
Highly-Trained Team That Helps Patients Feel at Home

As a parent, we don’t want you to have to worry about a new and unfamiliar face seeing your child every time you visit us. We do our best to build lasting and meaningful relationships with kids and parents alike, and that’s much easier to do when you have the opportunity to truly get to know our team! Not only do all of our staff regularly take continuing education and provide five-star customer service, but our staff retention is excellent! Many of our team members have been working alongside Dr. Bowden for the past 15 to 25 years and have even retired from our practice.
