What We Treat
Whether it's a first checkup or a chipped tooth after a busy downtown weekend, our team is a childrens dentist Downtown Shreveport families can call for almost anything:
Dental Exams & Cleanings
A kids dental checkup Downtown Shreveport families can count on, twice a year. We check for cavities, gum issues, and growth milestones, and a professional cleaning clears away the plaque and tartar brushing alone can't reach — easy to schedule around a downtown workday.
Mouthguards
Whether your child plays rec league sports downtown or grinds their teeth at night (bruxism), a custom-fit mouthguard protects growing teeth — and keeps you out of the ER on game day.
Fillings
Cavities happen, even with good brushing habits. We remove the decay and rebuild the tooth with tooth-colored composite that blends right in.
Dental Crowns
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, we place silver or natural-looking pediatric white crowns — available at both of our office locations.
Extractions
We only recommend an extraction when a tooth is beyond saving or is crowding the teeth around it — and we handle it as gently as we can.
Hospital Dentistry
When a child needs extensive treatment, we offer care in a hospital setting under general anesthesia, with safety protocols in place at every step.
