Preventive Dentistry—Protecting Smiles From the Start

Preventive care is the foundation of lifelong oral health. Our services help prevent cavities, strengthen enamel, and keep teeth clean and bright.

Dental Exams & Cleanings

  • Teeth cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup
  • Comprehensive oral exams to check for cavities, gum health, and proper development
  • Personalized home care tips to encourage healthy brushing and flossing habits

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride strengthens enamel and reduces the risk of cavities. We provide safe, fluoride applications to help protect your child’s teeth.

Dental Sealants

Sealants provide a protective shield over the chewing surfaces of molars, reducing the risk of cavities by up to 80%. A quick and treatment with long-lasting benefits!

Restorative Dentistry & Treatment for Dental Issues

If your child has a cavity or dental concern, we offer effective treatments to restore their smile while keeping them comfortable.

Tooth-Colored Fillings for Cavities

We use tooth-colored composite fillings to repair cavities in a way that looks natural and blends seamlessly with your child’s teeth.

Pediatric Dental Crowns

For teeth that need extra protection, we offer durable crowns that restore function and strength.

Laser Dentistry—High-Tech Treatment

We use advanced laser technology to perform precise, minimally invasive treatments with little to no discomfort. Laser dentistry is great for treating cavities, gum issues, and more—often without the need for numbing or anesthesia!

Sedation Dentistry—Stress-Free Visits for Every Child

Some children feel nervous about dental care, and we understand! That’s why we offer safe, child-friendly sedation options to ensure a calm, comfortable experience.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

A mild, safe sedative that helps children relax while remaining awake. It wears off quickly after the appointment, so they can return to their normal routine.

Oral conscious sedation

For children who need a deeper level of relaxation, oral conscious sedation allows them to feel calm and drowsy while still being responsive.

General anesthesia performed at Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center

For children requiring extensive dental work or those with special healthcare needs, we offer general anesthesia performed at Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center, ensuring a safe, positive experience.
