Although we realize going to the dentist likely is not your childs favorite thing to do, our team at Kids Dentist believes that the dental experience can be productive, educational, and positive for our young patients. We even have some fun! As your child grows, their smile needs change, and our pediatric dentists and support staff can monitor their development, provide tips for at-home dental care, and take care of any problems as they pop up.

If your child is covered under dental insurance, then our team can help you save money on their dental care. We are experienced with handling insurance claims and helping parents get the most value from insurance benefits. All you have to do is bring your information, and well deal with the rest. We can help you understand your childs coverage and know exactly what you are responsible for paying out-of-pocket.

Our teams goal is to make dental visits as enjoyable as possible for children and adults alike. Our comfortable, fun amenities help everyone feel right at home, and our friendly team immediately puts patients and their parents at ease. How do we know this? We routinely get great reviews from those who have been in our dental office. You can check out these reviews to learn how we spread smiles on a daily basis.

We will do everything we can to reduce any anxiety that our patients may be feeling. Often, we can accomplish this without using sedatives, but if needed, our team is certainly equipped and trained to use medication in order to soothe and comfort nervous kids. Whether your child requires just gentle nitrous oxide or powerful sleep dentistry, our team can customize treatment to their unique needs for a smooth dental visit.

As your little one develops, their dental needs can change. Do not worry! Our team will be there every step of the way to ensure that their teeth stay healthy and strong. Whether your baby just got their first tooth, or they are about to leave home, well take excellent care of the smile you love the most. As your child grows, our team will take the time to teach them dental skills that they can use clear through adulthood for lifelong oral health.

Dr. Sonia finds it extremely exciting to watch a patient grow up and see their personality develop and emerge! She tends to form very strong attachments with each child in fact, they feel like a member of her family! Thats what makes it so hard when they eventually become young adults and have to say goodbye and transition to an adult dentist.

Dr. Sonia graduated at the top of her class in dental school from the Health Sciences University (CES) in her native Colombia. From there, she attended a pediatric dentistry residency at the University of Illinois, Chicago College of Dentistry, followed by the completion of her Master of Science from the same university. Today, she is a Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry!

As for continuing education, Dr. Sonia feels that it is absolutely essential to stay up to date with new technologies, concepts, and techniques related to pediatric dentistry, which is why she participates in countless trainings throughout each year. This ensures that her special patients receive the most effective, proven, and gentle care possible.

When she isnt working or studying, Dr. Sonias top priority is spending quality time with her family, which includes her husband, two daughters, and one son. She is also extremely passionate about womens education, empowering women, traveling, learning new things, and meeting as many new people as possible.

Dr. Dave really enjoys taking the time to explain treatments and procedures to his patients in kid-friendly language. This way, they understand whats going to happen and why it needs to be done in the first place! He also goes the extra mile to help children open up to him and ask questions so that they feel more at ease. Their natural curiosity is the perfect opportunity to educate them about oral health and why its so important over the course of ones life.

Dr. Dave received his undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois, followed by his dental doctorate at Northwestern University. He then went back to the University of Illinois and completed a pediatric dental residency.
