Q: What makes your practices unique?

A: We understand that no two children’s dental care needs are the same. With a team of board-certified pediatric dentists and a board-certified orthodontist, we foster a collaborative environment, allowing us to tailor our approach to fit the needs of each individual child and family—which ensures they receive the best possible care. We believe that the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles starts at a young age, and we are passionate about creating a magical patient experience that ensures a positive start to every child’s oral health journey.

Q: What’s an example of a time when you helped a patient that you’re particularly proud of?

A: The patients who truly resonate with us are the ones who come to our office feeling nervous and anxious but end up loving the dentist. Sometimes this transformation happens within one appointment. Other times it takes a little longer. Their appointment might include a routine cleaning, or it could involve a more complex procedure. But witnessing that journey from anxiety to confidence is what fuels our passion for what we do.

Q: How do you employ new technology to help your patients?

A: Dentistry, especially in pediatric care, is incredibly innovative and we’re deeply committed to staying at the forefront. Our electronic local anesthesia device has been a game-changer, ensuring painless procedures and no post-treatment numbness, while our LightScalpel CO2 laser speeds up soft tissue procedures with minimal bleeding and discomfort. We also use digital radiographs, which reduce radiation, handheld X-ray units for more seamless imaging, digital patient forms for efficiency and much more.

Arlington Pediatric Dentistry is dedicated to providing high-quality, personalized care to children of all ages. Offering a full range of pediatric, orthodontic and laser dental services, its friendly team strives to help patients learn and practice good oral habits and provide them with the care they need to enjoy a lifetime of healthy, confident smiles.
