Our dentists and staff promote preventative dental care including a healthy diet and great oral hygiene at every visit. Because of this, we love to have parents with their children during their first visit. This gives us the opportunity to educate you as well so you can help reinforce these healthy habits at home.
At Creekside Pediatric Dentistry, our dental office is guided by these principles. We seek to serve our community by truly understanding the needs and of each child and family and providing the best care possible. Not everyone enjoys dental visits, but we want to change that for your child.
By meeting each child where they are able, we strive to provide gentle, calm, compassionate care to them and establish a relationship of trust. Your childs trust in us is our highest priority! It is our belief that informed decisions are vital in your childs dental care. Therefore we will always present ALL treatment options available to you, including risks and benefits in order to allow a truly informed decision regarding your childs care. Finally, as pediatric dental specialists, we will always have your childs best interest at heart. We will never stop in our pursuit of providing a fun and comfortable environment and treating your child as if they were our own.

Loved the office! Set up the waiting room area for entertaining kids, with a beautiful and comfortable area for adults with an assortment of coffee options! The staff were very sweet to my two year old and did a fantastic job I thought.

Dr. Dave and his staff are hands down the best pedi dentist office I've experienced. I had all 3 kids with me, 1 has never been to the dentist (age 2) and no one cried . There are so many personal touches, you can tell they go the extra mile for their little patients.

We love Dr. David and his staff's bedside manners. I trust his knowledge, experience, and the way he conducts to our children 100%... Our kids love his clinic and are always looking forward for their appointments. He has always been on time so there's virtually no waiting time and also hired bilingual staff who can translate to our Spanish-speaking younger kids.

SO impressed with the team at Creekside Pediatric Dentistry. They had our shy 2 year old talking up a storm with no nerves whatsoever! They let her be interactive so she knew what was happening and she felt so safe and secure! So appreciative of all that they do to make this an easy process for kids and parents! Our sweet girl even cried when we were leaving - she was having too much fun! Thank you for doing what you do!

Really love bringing my kids here!! The dentist and all of the staff are really nice! And I also love that I can text them when needed. No automated system, just text. No paperwork. Forms are all electronic and on your own device.

The front desk staff made us feel welcomed. My daughter loved the play area and did not want to leave at the end of our appointment. The doctor and dental assistant were kind and made my daughter feel comfortable throughout her cleaning. She had a smile throughout the visit. I would strongly suggest you coming here.

The best! The staff is very friendly and welcoming and the dentist makes sure my daughter understands and takes the time out to explain everything to her during her visits!
