Services
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry services focus on preventive care and early intervention for children's oral health. We provide comprehensive exams, cleanings, and education tailored to developing smiles. Our child-friendly approach helps establish positive dental habits while addressing specific needs of young patients through age-appropriate techniques and equipment.
Restorative Care
We offer restorative treatments including fillings, crowns, and pulp therapy for children's teeth. Our mercury-free materials match natural tooth color while maintaining durability. Space maintainers preserve proper alignment after early tooth loss. All treatments use child-appropriate techniques to ensure comfort and long-term dental health.
Sedation Dentistry
Our sedation options include nitrous oxide, IV sedation, and general anesthesia for anxious or special needs patients. Board-certified pediatric dentists carefully administer treatments in a controlled environment. This ensures safe, comfortable care for children requiring extensive procedures or experiencing dental fear.
Tongue and Lip-Tie
We diagnose and treat restrictive tongue and lip ties using advanced laser technology. Our specialists address feeding difficulties in infants and speech/developmental issues in older children. Post-treatment follow-up includes coordination with lactation consultants and speech therapists for comprehensive care outcomes.
Dental Emergencies
Emergency services handle tooth injuries, infections, and trauma with prompt attention. Our team manages broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and severe toothaches using child-specific protocols. We provide immediate pain relief and infection control while preserving dental development in urgent situations.

Report
I highly recommend Dr. Jacob Myers! My almost 4-year-old daughter had a GREAT experience this office! Her dental hygienist, Lisa, was excellent at talking to my daughter and explaining things to her. Dr. Myers and the front office staff were also very kind and interacted well with my child, who is usually anxious in new situations. (She had previously been going to a dentist who was a general practitioner and she would barely let the dentist examine her teeth, not to mention clean them.) At Dr. Myers' office she had no fear at all!

Report
I made an appointment with this office 3 months ago for my former foster son. He has a complicated medical history but currently is healthy and not considered a high risk dental patient according to all of his specialists and his PCP. I warned the office about his conditions at the time of appointment scheduling, and was told that we will discuss at our first visit. Flash forward to 3 days before our scheduled appointment. I get a phone call from a receptionist who told me that the dentist has cancelled our appointment because he is too risky to be seen in their office. Since he has been cleared

I was very upset that I was pressured into leaving my barely 4 year old to go back to her appointment alone. I told them I was uncomfortable and they brushed it off and pressured more and one of the dental hygienist became very annoyed. I had my 18 month old with me, so I had no choice but to leave my 4 year old, or leave and cancel the appointment. I should have just canceled but Covid had already delayed their dental care by months. Im very upset the office put me in that position. Especially when my daughter wanted me there and she acts fine when Im in the room. Two stars instead of 1

My family has really enjoyed going to this office. They have a whimsical train that travels throughout the office. The staff are all very kind and knowledgeable and my kids were never afraid of going to the dentist! Unfortunately, I switch jobs and they don't work with my current insurance, otherwise we would stay with them. A great option for folks with Delta Dental!
