A Lifetime of Smiles Starts with a Good Foundation

Healthy teeth play a crucial role in your child’s growth from early childhood through the teenage years and well into adulthood. However, we know it can be challenging to balance your busy family life with work, school, and other commitments. Finding time for dental care shouldn’t add to the stress, and we’re here to help make it easier.

We strive to make your dental visits as smooth and hassle-free as possible. To accommodate your busy schedule, we offer flexible hours and can arrange back-to-back appointments for your family, making it easier to fit dental care into your day.

As your child grows, they will experience many important dental milestones—from their first appointment and losing baby teeth to getting their adult teeth and eventually visiting the dentist on their own for regular care. We look forward to supporting them at every stage of their dental journey.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Children typically begin teething around 6 months old, and it’s advisable to bring them to the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits help monitor your child’s oral development, prevent potential issues, and establish healthy dental habits from the start. If your child shows signs of discomfort or other dental concerns, schedule an appointment as soon as possible.

Baby teeth are crucial for more than just chewing; they play a significant role in speech development, maintaining space for adult teeth, and shaping your child’s smile and facial structure. Healthy primary teeth also contribute to self-esteem and overall well-being. Neglecting baby teeth can lead to pain, infections, and problems that can affect permanent teeth.

The first dental appointment generally lasts about an hour, depending on your child’s comfort and specific needs. During this visit, the dentist will check your child’s teeth and gums, offer guidance on proper oral care, and answer any questions you might have about your child’s dental health.

Regular dental visits every six months are recommended for children to ensure their teeth and gums remain healthy and to catch any problems early. If your child has issues like toothaches, jaw pain, or shows discomfort while eating, it’s best to visit the dentist sooner for evaluation.

Cavities are caused by bacteria that produce acids, leading to tooth decay over time. Factors like poor brushing, sugary foods and drinks, and lack of fluoride can increase the risk. Untreated cavities can cause pain, infection, and affect a child’s ability to eat and speak comfortably, making early detection and treatment essential.

Gum health is a key part of overall oral wellness. Healthy gums protect teeth and help maintain a stable mouth environment. Issues like swollen or bleeding gums can indicate underlying problems such as infections or early stages of gum disease, which can impact your child’s dental and overall health.

We understand that coordinating dental visits for the entire family can be challenging. To accommodate busy schedules, we offer flexible booking options, including back-to-back appointments for multiple family members. Contact us to arrange convenient appointment times that work for your whole family.

Hate the dentist, but don’t dread coming to this place. They’re great with my kids too. Definitely recommend. Missy and Adam are both warm, neat people. My eight year old loves Missy…. Something to be said for an 8 year old never dreading the dentist!!

I have only visited two dental offices in the US but this is the best so far. Dr. Altdorfer is very professional, explain each step to me very clearly and finished the procedure swiftly. Today I was there shaping a tooth for a crown. The entire session is painless and as smooth as it can be. Attiya is also very nice. She explained things in detail (about what to be mindful of..etc) before I asked, including things that I needed asking in my previous dentist. I am that kind of people who worries a bit so I still have a question or two. I am glad that they are very patient to answer them. My prior cleaning session with Missy was also great. She did the cleaning very gently and carefully, which I appreciate. Also very nice, calm and clear in communication. 10/10. I think they had a substitute hygienist for a day, name is Bruce as I recall, he also went above and beyond. After he inspected my gum, he gave me a lot of advice and recommendations on how to take better care of my mouth. And he did it in a thoughtful manner. That's where I feel like he genuinely care about his patient. Great place in general. Update: Just went back today to finish my treatment. Same good practice. I have a crown fitting/sitting and 3 fillings, all done in one hour and with no pain. Dr. Altdorfer and Attiya are superb. They told me what they are doing and I should do in each step. Good communication too. What a stark contrast with my previous place (outside of colorado)!

Honestly one of the best experiences I have had at the dentist. The staff is so genuinely nice and helpful. I have a huge fear of needles and the doctor was so patient and kind. Made the injections as painless and comfortable as possible. Both appointments I’ve made I have been contacted by the office to see if I wanted to come in at an earlier date and when I’m there I’m taken to the back very fast. I have already recommended so many friends to this office and if you’re looking for a dentist I HIGHLY recommend going here. 6/5 stars. Thank you to the staff at experience dental!!!
