Services
Preventive Dentistry
Our preventive care focuses on proper brushing, flossing, and nutrition habits while monitoring fluoride levels and applying sealants. We create engaging educational experiences to teach children about oral hygiene. Regular checkups help detect issues early and establish lifelong dental care routines.
Restorative Dentistry
We treat dental caries with sealants, fillings, and crowns using child-friendly techniques. Our team thoroughly explains treatment options and addresses parental concerns before procedures. Early intervention helps preserve children's natural teeth and prevent future complications.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide and general anesthesia options help anxious patients or those requiring extensive treatment. Our specialists ensure safe sedation while maintaining comfort during procedures. This approach benefits children with dental phobia or special needs requiring complex care.
Emergency Treatment
We provide prompt care for dental emergencies including trauma, infections, and severe pain. Our on-call team offers 24/7 assistance for urgent situations. Immediate treatment helps prevent complications and alleviates distress for children and parents.
Oral Hygiene Instruction
Interactive sessions teach proper brushing, flossing, and dietary habits tailored to children's developmental stages. We use age-appropriate techniques to make learning fun while establishing strong home care routines. Education focuses on preventing decay and promoting healthy dental development.

We have brought two of our children into see Dr. Mark Steinmetz, and I have to say that I am very thankful we did. He is a very patient dentist and takes the time to get to know you and your children. My son had an infection underneath one of the crowns put on his tooth and Dr. Steinmetz came in to the office just for him and I the day before new year to remove his tooth, and I truly appreciate it!
We got to meet his daughter as well and she was just as kind. Dr. Steinmetz also did oral surgery on our 2 year old daughter, last week and made her feel comfortable as they put her under for anesthesia

My 2 year old was having severe mouth pains, after a trip to the ER that got us nowhere, we were desperate to find answers. I called the childrens dental health center as soon as they opened on Monday morning, and they got us in within 30 minutes and had an answer for us just as fast. Doctor Steinmetz was incredibly patient and caring, which was just what we needed.
