Below, our team has outlined some helpful information so you know what to expect during your visit. If you have any questions, never hesitate to reach out!

Our Philosophy

We strive to build long-lasting relationships with our patients that instill trust in us, as well as trust in our patients. In fact, that’s one of the reasons why we see our younger patients until 21 years old, which is unique for a pediatric dentist!

To build that trust and independence, as well as helping children feel more comfortable with our team, we begin seeing children independently from parents starting at three years old. We believe that our philosophy allows for a great overall experience, and we’re happy to discuss more with you over the phone or when you arrive if you have any questions!
