Hello Neighbor!

Here at San Elijo Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we care, we listen, and we work together with your family because we see you as a part of the team too!

Whether you or your children come to us for a checkup, a filling, orthodontia or anything else, you’ll always be greeted by our sunny smiles. We are here for you and are happy to cheer you on throughout your journey to complete oral health. Our knowledgeable team loves taking an educational approach to dentistry to ensure you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Your First Visit: What to Expect

We understand that visiting a new dentist can feel intimidating, but we are here to help you know what to expect so you can step into your first visit stress-free. When we meet you, we will be focused on getting to know you and your child. If you have a few moments before your appointment, be sure to fill out your new patient forms online! This helps our team prepare and get to know you and your family before we meet you.

Once you arrive, a member of our team will give you and your child a tour of our office to familiarize you with our space. You’ll also get a chance to say hello to the team and the doctors. But don’t worry, we know that sometimes it takes a while for little ones to warm up to new people. That is why we always take a patient, compassionate approach to our care. We can go at a pace that feels comfortable for you and your kiddo! Once we are settled, we will perform a cleaning and exam to get a better picture of your child’s oral health.

Finally, we will work together to create a treatment plan that accommodates your wants, needs and lifestyle. If you have any questions for our team, don’t hesitate to ask away at any time!
