Our passion is to transform lives, one smile at a time. We are dedicated to ensuring that every patient, no matter what age, can achieve the best smile possible by creating simple, safe, and secure experiences so patients and their parents look forward to their visit.

We are committed to helping children follow the best journey! When kids are inspired to take ownership of their oral care, they form great habits. We understand, however, that it is not always easy to navigate the daily routine of inspiring your children to brush and floss their teeth on a consistent, routine basis. We empathize with parents as they experience the speed bumps that often accompany teaching your children to take responsibility for the regular care and preventative maintenance required for good oral hygiene.

By providing a simple path, we challenge our patients to value the benefits of regular, preventative oral care. This begins the moment patients and their parents enters one of our offices. At every age and every stage (from birth to teens) we want our patients to recognize the signs and signals for developing a healthy, responsible oral care regime. Each practice is trained and skilled, and we strive to provide energetic and fun-loving service to each patient. We offer a simple, safe and smart dental experience like no other.

We are a combination pediatric dental and orthodontic practice offering patients specialists in both fields of oral care. It is important to find a practice that can offer parents consistent answers and information throughout every growth milestone children experience from birth to 18 years of age. Our goal is to make each visit comfortable and fun for even the most anxious patients. Our pediatric dentists use the techniques so even those children who have had previously bad experiences or are just fearful about dental care will have a wonderful experience.

We are committed to provide you with affordable, high-quality treatment that fits your budget. We offer a variety of payment options to meet your needs. Our office accepts payments by cash, check, and Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. If you have any questions about financing or payment, ask us! We will thoroughly explain your choices and work hard to accommodate your needs.

From the moment our patients arrive, they are greeted into a warm and inviting environment, embracing the modern convenience of technology and innovation. Our staff is compassionate and trained to use the best care practices to ensure your child has a pain-free experience throughout their visit.

We offer specialized dental care for children with all types of needs and we understand the anxiety that some patients bring with them. We are diligent about making sure our patients feel safe, supported, and happy throughout their visit. No two patients are ever exactly alike, and it would be a disservice to them if we did anything less than customized treatment. Our doctors take the time to speak with each patient at length. We listen to their concerns and answer questions at a level they can understand.

We are committed to providing an outstanding experience for both children and their parents. Our office is warm and inviting. We have created several ways to engage children of all ages during their visit from movies, iPad games, and reading material. Our atmosphere is colorful, upbeat, and relevant for all ages. We have Wi-Fi access for our parents and if they desire, they can accompany their children during their procedures. We have TVs in each of our treatment rooms so your child can enjoy his or her favorite movie during their visit. We are especially interested in making all our patients feel right at home! We put your needs first to achieve efficient and comprehensive treatment.

Lisa was born in Waco, Texas. She grew up with an older brother and two sisters. She started her dental career as a dental assistant working in a pediatric dental office and enjoyed it a lot. She then decided to further her career and go to hygiene school where she graduated with my Associates in Dental Hygiene in 2016. She is also CPR, BLS, and Nitrous Oxide monitoring certificated. She enjoys educating, interacting with the kids, and cleaning teeth!

She truly enjoys working with her coworkers as a team and interacting with the kids. Children are fun and will tell you a lot of stories and I am never bored and absolutely love hearing their laughter and helping them understand the importance of oral health and having a great experience at the dental office. The most rewarding aspect of my job is seeing children leave the office with preventive measures such as sealants as well as polishing stain and seeing that the kids are happier with their smile and less likely to have dental decay.
