When it comes to restoring your child’s smile, we always explore alternative treatments before considering tooth extractions. Our primary focus is to preserve and restore damaged teeth whenever possible. However, in some cases, an extraction may be the best option to keep your child’s smile healthy. Rest assured, we prioritize comfort and use gentle techniques to make the process as quick and stress-free as possible. Say goodbye to discomfort and hello to a bright, healthy smile!

As your child grows, their baby teeth naturally make way for their adult teeth. But if they fall out too early—or if the jaw isn’t developing with enough space—it can increase the risk of orthodontic issues later on. That’s where space maintainers and expanders come in. Space maintainers hold the proper space for adult teeth to erupt naturally, while expanders gently widen the upper jaw to improve alignment, breathing, and bite function. We want your child to thrive, which is why we offer these preventive treatments to guide healthy development and reduce the need for more complex care in the future. If you’re concerned about your child’s baby teeth or jaw growth, we’re here to help set them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Building a strong foundation for healthy oral habits will establish your child's dental routine for their entire lives. With our educational, compassionate care, we are here to give your child the guidance they need to have healthy dental hygiene that will stick with them for a lifetime.
