Preventive Care
Our preventive care services focus on establishing lifelong oral health habits through personalized brushing and flossing instruction, dietary counseling, and BPA-free sealants. We provide age-appropriate education to make dental care enjoyable while monitoring development and preventing potential issues. Regular cleanings and fluoride treatments help maintain optimal oral health in a fun, stress-free environment.
Restorative Dentistry
We offer comprehensive restorative treatments including tooth-colored and silver fillings, white crowns, and other necessary dental repairs. Our approach prioritizes patient comfort with clear explanations and gentle techniques. Parents are welcome to accompany children during procedures to provide additional support and reassurance throughout the treatment process.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Our nitrous oxide sedation helps anxious patients relax during dental procedures while maintaining consciousness and responsiveness. This safe, reversible option works well with our tell-show-do approach to create positive treatment experiences. It's particularly effective for children needing multiple procedures or extended appointments.
Emergency Dental Care
We provide immediate care for dental emergencies including tooth injuries, infections, and severe pain. Our team offers after-hours availability with clear voicemail instructions for urgent situations. Prompt treatment helps preserve dental health and prevent complications while minimizing patient discomfort.
Orthodontic Evaluation
Our orthodontic services assess growth patterns and dental development to determine optimal treatment timing. We offer traditional metal braces, clear ceramic options, and clear aligners for appropriate candidates. Early evaluation helps address bite issues and alignment problems for improved function and aesthetics.

Children's Dentistry is the best! My son has never liked going to the dentist until he went there. Dr. Proctor makes him feel very comfortable along with the rest of the staff. I'm glad I found them.
