At Growing Smiles, we strive to create a positive experience for each child, and to teach them the skills to have a lifetime of optimal dental health! Our office environment is designed to be both child and eco-friendly. Forget the stuffy dental offices youre used to. The building uses the latest technology, both in dentistry and in construction methods. The office boasts digital radiographs and paperless charts. With digital radiography, there are no chemicals needed for development, and the amount of radiation that children are exposed to is drastically reduced compared to traditional dental radiographs.

Growing Smiles follows both the American Association of Pediatric Dentists and the American Dental Association guidelines that a childs initial visit to the dentist, should be by the childs first birthday. This helps to familiarize the child to the dental office, and also allows the dentist to make sure the childs dentition and facial profile is developing appropriately.

We will gladly submit all claims to your insurance company. Dental Insurance usually covers a certain portion of treatment and at Growing Smiles we pride ourselves in helping parents understand and work with their dental insurance.
