Understanding Pediatric Dentistry
Our Office
Volunteer Pediatric Dentistry aims to deliver the best possible dental care for
infants, children, teens and kids with special healthcare needs.
Our kids dental office has the latest state-of-the-art equipment to make sure your child has access to everything he or she needs at their visits. We constantly evaluate our materials and keep current with new technologies to make sure you have the best options available.
We pride ourselves in practicing ethically and honestly, always taking the time to explain our findings. We always consider all appropriate treatment options and try to present the most conservative plans, when possible. It is important for us to be helpful to our patients and answer any questions you might have regarding your child’s dental care.
Starting early with prevention and good habits will help build a life-long smile and relationship with your pediatric dentist. Thank you for trusting us with one of the most joyful gifts a child has to offer, their smile!
We are available 7:30am - 4pm Monday-Thursday. Closed Fridays.
For after hours emergencies, please listen to our voice mail message.
Scheduling Appointments
Our office attempts to schedule appointments at your convenience and when time is available. Preschool children should be seen in the morning because they are fresher and we can work more slowly with the child for their comfort. Schedule an appointment for your child today!
Finances
Payment for professional services is due at the time dental treatment is provided. Every effort will be made to provide a treatment plan which fits your timetable and budget, and gives your child the best possible care. We accept cash, personal checks, and most major credit cards.
