Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services for children include professional cleanings, cavity fillings, and preventive treatments like sealants. We focus on habit-breaking techniques for thumb sucking and monitor tooth eruption patterns. Our team provides comprehensive oral assessments to maintain optimal dental health throughout childhood development stages.
Orthodontics
We offer early orthodontic intervention starting around age 7 to address alignment issues. Our specialists evaluate jaw development and tooth positioning to determine optimal treatment timing. Services include traditional braces assessment and Invisalign First clear aligners for children, helping create properly aligned smiles that reduce future dental complications.
Sedation Dentistry
For anxious patients, we provide safe sedation options to ensure comfortable dental experiences. Our trained professionals use age-appropriate sedation methods that maintain patient safety while enabling necessary treatments. This service helps children complete complex procedures without fear or discomfort, fostering positive future dental attitudes.
Baby Care
Our baby dental care services begin with teething support and early oral hygiene guidance. We monitor primary tooth development and provide parental education on proper cleaning techniques. Regular checkups track growth patterns and establish foundational dental care habits, ensuring healthy starts for your child's oral development.
Invisalign First
We offer Invisalign First clear aligners specifically designed for children's developing smiles. These removable appliances correct alignment issues in both baby and permanent teeth. The treatment helps guide jaw growth and creates space for erupting permanent teeth, often reducing the need for future orthodontic interventions.

Very friendly and accommodating staff and dentist. Dr. Chander took the time to answer all my questions and explain the treatment plan thoroughly. The office is also decorated with a very fun theme and is a very welcoming environment.

My son gets scared very easy and has little tolerance to pain. Naturally, I was very nervous about his first big treatment requiring sedation. To my pleasant surprise, sedation was done so seamlessly and my son was able to get treatment with smile on his face. My son kept giving thumbs up to let the doctor know he was doing great lol thank you for being so good with kids and making my son's treatment so easy. He also enjoyed watching sponge Bob lol the only thing that I will add is that they are very expensive. I have insurance that covers 100% of all regular treatment including root canals, but

Took my daughter here for her first visit and I was very impressed by the kid friendly layout of the clinic. Not only that , the staff were all very welcoming and the service was great!!! My daughters first experience at the dentist was a very positive one. I was a bit apprehensive at first, not knowing what to expect but the staff explained everything step by step which made me feel reassured and knew my daughter was in good hands! I will definitely keep taking her here!
