Services
Pediatric Dental Exams
Our comprehensive dental exams establish oral health baselines for children using gentle techniques and child-friendly equipment. We focus on early detection of developmental issues while creating positive associations with dental care. Our exams include thorough evaluations of teeth, gums, and bite development.
Digital X-rays
We utilize advanced digital imaging technology that reduces radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional X-rays. This allows us to capture detailed images of developing teeth while maintaining the highest safety standards for young patients through our low-radiation equipment.
Sedation Dentistry
For anxious patients or complex procedures, we offer safe sedation options administered by board-certified pediatric anesthesiologists in hospital-quality surgical centers. This ensures comfortable treatment experiences while maintaining strict safety protocols for children requiring extensive dental work.
Dental Sealants
We apply protective sealants to permanent back teeth as part of our preventive care program. These thin coatings create barriers against decay in hard-to-clean molars, helping preserve children's dental health while minimizing future restorative needs through proactive protection.
Emergency Dental Care
Our practice provides 24/7 emergency coverage for dental trauma and urgent oral health issues. Board-certified pediatric dentists are always available to address injuries, infections, and other urgent conditions with prompt, specialized care tailored to children's needs.

We have been seeing Dr. Lopez & team at NPD since 2007. My older daughter graduated from this office last year and that was bitter sweet. Luckily I still have 3 more years with my youngest, who started seeing Dr. Lopez since she was 1!
Dr. Lopez really treats his patients likes his own children. He is very thorough and patient when he speaks with the parents. And his team is very professional and know how to communicate and connect with their patients. A few of the technicians, e.g. Ms Sonia, have been there since we started going there! So you know they love their work and will take care

Report
I contacted Dr. Lopez at NPD as a new (desperate) patient who had just moved to town. This was while quarantine and social distancing orders were in affect. I discovered an abscess above a dead tooth that my 3 year old son had previously injured. He needed to have it pulled asap. I contacted Dr. Lopez on his direct line provided on the website and got in touch with him within the hour. He talked me through our options in a very clear and detailed way. We decided together to attempt to extract the tooth with nitrous (laughing gas) and local anesthetic alone. Setting the appointment within days,

Dr. Lopez is a conservative dentist which always gives me faith that hes only doing necessary work on my kids. Weve been using NPD for 8 years. The kids are happy to go there and the office is cool w movies and surf themed art. The hygienists smile and relax the kids. The front office is flexible and friendly. Great dental office!
