Let’s Take the Worry Out of the “What Ifs”

We make visiting the dentist easy, gentle, and
filled with smiles—no pressure, ever.

Aren’t Baby Teeth Going to Fall Out Anyway?

While baby teeth don’t last forever, they set the foundation for a healthy smile as your child grows. Early dental care helps avoid bigger problems later on.

I’m Worried About
the Cost

We offer flexible financing, accept many insurances, and will work with you to make great care affordable because your child’s health shouldn’t come with stress.

I Don’t Want to Traumatize My Child

Our approach is slow and sweet. We listen, pause, and never push. Most kids actually like coming here, and parents feel that difference, too. We also offer nitrous oxide sedation if necessary.

‘‘We were seen immediately no waiting time. They did x-rays, cleaning and scraping. Each employee took their time for everything and my son's teeth were very well cleaned. Also took a picture of my son to make a free photo magnet. It was the best pediatric dentistry I have been to and I have been to quite a few.’’

Angeline B.

‘‘My three daughters, age 8, 12, and 14 loved this practice. They asked if this would be their new dentist. The staff and Dr. Lee were very knowledgeable and made my girls feel safe. My littlest one is so excited and can’t wait to be back. She loved the waiting area, the fluffy bunny waiting for her in the exam chair and said it was the best dentist visit ever. I recommended anyone who has children to take them here. Thank you Dr. Lee and the amazing staff for taking such great care of my girls.’’

Marleni E.

‘‘I had such a wonderful experience at Elm Smiles! ???? From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. The office is super clean and has such a calming vibe. They made my babygirl feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. I truly appreciate the time they took to explain everything to make sure my daughter was at ease. Highly recommend this gem of a practice — thank you Elm Smiles for making us actually look forward to our next visit! ????????’’
