What We Offer

Personalized and Comfortable

Pediatric Dental Care

Preventive Care

Routine appointments and preventive care are the heart of optimal dental health. During your bi-annual visits, we’ll perform a comprehensive exam, take any necessary x-rays, and professionally clean your teeth to keep your smile looking and feeling its best.

Frenectomies

Our frenectomy procedures remove the frenum, a thin piece of tissue found under the tongue or the upper gums beneath the upper lip, which can hinder teeth and jaw development, speech, and a poor latch for breastfeeding.

Special Needs Care

Our pediatric dental staff has undergone unique training to ensure that we can deliver the very best care to kids who need a little bit of extra attention and help while being mindful and accommodating of any conditions from behavioral to sensory.

Hear From Our Happy Patients!

Anna J.

Dr. Wendy Yang and her staff are the best! Dr. Wendy was very patient, kind, and gentle with my kiddos. She did a phenomenal job at treating his teeth, while still making him feel comfortable in her chair. Honestly, I was amazed. Do yourself a favor and book with Dr. Wendy and her team if your kids need a phenomenal dentist. High recommend!!

Jack K.

I took my son for his two year checkup. He was pretty nervous about going to the dentist but Dr. Yang and her amazing staff really put him at ease. They even had his favorite movie playing which was a huge bonus (they emailed to ask about favorite characters before we showed up). The best part for me was hearing how we were doing and learning how we can improve his dental hygiene.

Miriam L.

I had the absolute best experience with Dr Wendy! I never thought I could say taking my 4.5 yr old to the dentist was fun, but me and my son had the best time! I feel so lucky that we found this place and would give it 6 stars if i could!!
