What We Treat
Whether it's a first checkup or a chipped tooth after a Cedar Grove Park afternoon, our team is a childrens dentist Cedar Grove families can call for almost anything:
Dental Exams & Cleanings
A kids dental checkup Cedar Grove families can build a routine around. Every six months, we check for cavities, gum issues, and growth milestones, then a professional cleaning removes the plaque and tartar brushing can't — a short trip from Missouri Avenue.
Mouthguards
From Cedar Grove Park pickup games to nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism), we fit custom mouthguards that protect growing smiles without the ER-trip drama.
Fillings
When a cavity shows up, we clean it out and restore the tooth with tooth-colored composite filling material, built to last through the school year.
Dental Crowns
For teeth too far gone for a filling, we offer both silver and tooth-colored pediatric white crowns, available at either of our two offices.
Extractions
Extractions are a last resort — reserved for teeth that are beyond saving or causing crowding — and we keep the process calm and gentle.
Hospital Dentistry
For kids who need extensive treatment, we provide care in a hospital setting under general anesthesia, following safety protocols at every step.

If I Could Give 100 Stars I Would
My 7-year-old used to never like the dentist until we came here. He is autistic and very picky with whom he lets touch him, and he has no issues with this office! If I could give 100 stars I would!
