Pediatric dental services at our office
Our relaxed, fun environment makes pediatric dental care comfortable and straightforward. We combine cutting-edge technology with gentle care to ensure your little one receives the best possible dental care. Our office offers pediatric dental services, from prevention to restoration.
- Preventive dentistry: Prevention is the cornerstone of everything we do in our office. We emphasize at-home dental care, but that alone isn’t enough to maintain your child’s healthy smile. Our office complements your home efforts with dental check-ups, cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments. Preventive dental care is the best way to protect your child’s smile from decay, gum disease, bad breath, and other issues.
- Infant care: Tiny teeth need a tender touch! Infant dental care sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles. From your baby’s first tooth, pediatric dentistry in Aliso Viejo, California, monitors growth, provides gentle cleanings, and guides you on teething thumb-sucking, and bottle habits.
- Restorative dentistry: Despite your best efforts, cavities and injuries can occur in children. When little teeth need repair, restorative dentistry steps in with conservative tooth-colored fillings, root canals, and other kid-friendly solutions. Restorative dentistry repairs damage and restores full function, allowing your young one to enjoy life without limitations.
- Orthodontics: Sometimes, a little alignment is all young smiles need. We monitor jaw growth and tooth alignment, offering early orthodontic assessments and interventions. Our board-certified orthodontist, Dr. Chris Carter, offers space maintainers and dental braces to resolve numerous orthodontic issues.
- Emergency dentistry: Kids are curious and active—and accidents are bound to happen. Whether it’s an excruciating toothache or an unexpected injury, pediatric emergency dentistry in Aliso Viejo, CA, provides prompt, compassionate care. Emergency dental care relieves pain and prevents further health complications.
- Special needs dentistry: Every child deserves a healthy smile—no exceptions. We are trained in special needs care and offer a welcoming, accommodating environment for children with physical, developmental, or sensory challenges. With patience, empathy, and tailored techniques, we create positive, empowering dental experiences for all children.
We offer children’s dental care in a welcoming, stress-free environment that makes every visit enjoyable and rewarding. We create positive dental experiences that leave children smiling and parents confident in our care.
