Our Pediatric Services
Preventative Dentistry
We provide regular dental exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants to protect your child’s teeth. Our team emphasizes proper oral hygiene education and nutrition counseling to support lifelong oral health monitoring development to prevent issues before they arise.
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative services include tooth-colored fillings and pulpectomy (baby root canals), repair of cavities or dental injuries, and preserving primary teeth to maintain space for proper permanent tooth development.
Extractions & Space Maintenance
If a baby’s tooth cannot be saved, we perform gentle extractions. Space maintainers ensure proper alignment of permanent teeth after early tooth loss.
Interceptive Orthodontics
Early orthodontic interventions guide jaw and tooth development to prevent future misalignment, using devices like habit appliances and space maintainers.
Cleft Lip & Palate Treatment
We collaborate with specialists to offer comprehensive care for children born with cleft lip or palate, addressing oral function, speech, and appearance.
Sedation Dentistry
We understand that some children may feel anxious about dental visits. That’s why we offer a range of sedation options to ensure that all procedures are performed in a stress-free environment. Nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation are available based on the child’s needs. Our trained team ensures that each sedation option is safe and appropriate for the child’s level of anxiety or the complexity of the procedure.
Pediatric Emergencies
We provide quick, compassionate care for dental emergencies such as broken teeth, severe toothaches, and knocked-out teeth, prioritizing your child’s comfort and recovery.
Orthodontics
We offer metal and clear ceramic braces, as well as retainers, to correct bite issues and crowding, ensuring your child’s smile is both functional and attractive. For a more discreet option, ask us about Invisalign in Reston for your child’s orthodontic needs.
Our Approach
Benefits of Early Dental Visits for Kids' Oral Health
Establishing a Positive Dental Relationship
Early dental appointments introduce children to the dental environment in a stress-free manner, helping to reduce fear related to future dental visits.
Monitoring Growth and Development
Dentists can track your child’s dental growth, identifying any deviations from normal development, whether it’s monitoring the eruption of baby teeth or ensuring the proper alignment of permanent teeth
Enhancing Overall Health
Oral health has a direct link to overall well-being. Poor dental hygiene can lead to infections, inflammation, and even systemic issues like heart disease or diabetes. Early dental care supports general health by identifying potential problems early.
Early Detection of Orthodontic Issues
Early dental visits enable pediatric dentists to detect orthodontic issues like misaligned teeth or bite problems early. This proactive approach can prevent more complex treatments later, such as braces, and also helps in preventing serious issues like cavities or gum disease while promoting effective oral hygiene habits.

Ilis, the dental assistant, was attentive and made sure I was at ease the whole time, while Naveen, at the front desk, made scheduling my appointments a breeze.
