Understanding Why Problems Are Occurring Means We Can Take Better Care of Teeth, Support Airway Health, AND Promote Optimal Growth & Development.

Functional pediatric dentistry goes beyond treating symptoms to understand and address the root causes of dental, orthodontic, and developmental issues in children. We prioritize early intervention, and use diverse treatments—such as myofunctional therapy, facial growth guidance techniques and airway-friendly orthodontics—to optimize the development of the jaws, teeth, and airway.

A Holistic Approach

Our goal is to help children grow into healthy adults. We emphasize diet, lifestyle, and preventive measures to optimize oral health. We also offer treatments that focus on airway health which is crucial for jaw development, facial growth, and overall health.

are Saying

We learned that Dr. A is trained in airway dentistry and palate expansion so we began that journey. Dr. A has been absolute incredible. She is so knowledgeable on the structures of the jaw, head and neck and how to treat from a whole child perspective to achieve life long improvement in health...

I love this place for my children. Everyone is always so kind and welcoming and have made my kids so comfortable. My son just had his very first dental procedure done getting a cavity filled and I can’t express enough how comforting they were for myself and my son!

Kelsey G Parent

We’ve been coming here since our son’s first tooth, and today was his first day in the big boy chair and x-rays! They were absolutely wonderful with him. He felt so comfortable. They were so patient and explained everything to him. We just adore it here!
