A pediatric dentist is a professional who has specialized in the treatment of pediatric and adolescent dental patients. The doctors and staff at Legacy are highly qualified, compassionate individuals who strive to provide excellent care for infants through adolescents and special needs children in our community. We are especially adept at handling the child who may experience slight apprehension toward the dental visit through those who suffer from severe anxiety or behavioral difficulties. We also believe it to be vitally important to include parents and caregivers through education and providing clear and comprehensive information pertaining to all aspects of dental health. These areas include nutritional counseling, prevention of dental disease, and conservative treatment options.
Our team is committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment for both parents and children and continually strives to make each and every visit to the dentist a positive and pleasurable experience! We gladly welcome any questions or concerns you may have regarding your childs visit to Legacy Pediatric and Adolescent Dentistry.

Dr. Brazeal and the entire staff at Legacy are incredible. They treat you like family from the minute you walk in. Everyone is kind and welcoming to our kids every time we visit and they always explain and let the child help. Our kids always ask when it is time to go back to the dentist! Highly recommend Dr. Brazeal and his incredible staff!

Had an amazing experience from start to finish with Dr. Brazeal! It was my two year old daughter's first experience at the dentist, and they did a great job easing her fear and making her feel comfortable. Highly recommend!

This was my 5 yr old son's first experience at a dentist. I was honestly worried about how he would do. They were so wonderful with him it was unbelievable! They just talked to him and explained what they were doing and he wasnt scared one bit. Fantastic place and I will definitely be back!

We received excellent care from the time we entered the office until we walked out the door. Legacy made us feel very comfortable, ensuring a partnership with parents to make going to the dentist the most pleasant experience for the child. Both Dr. Gold and Dr. Brazeal met us on our first visit, and were exceptionally impressive in their engagement with my child.

Dr. Gold and her staff are so friendly and informative. Not only did they make my 18 month old feel comfortable and safe, but they answered all my questions along the way. The office is warm and inviting with the perfect toys and tools to make an unfamiliar dental visit feel like a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend Dr. Gold!

I have a special needs 3 year old who had a terrible experience with last dentist. I was very worried about this happening at the new dentist but I explained to the staff all my concerns and everyone made sure to give my little girl time to adjust. We had to take a break at one point and came back after I got her calm and we finished with smiles!
