At Summitview Pediatric Dentistry, we believe every child is unique and should be treated as such. That’s why we take the time to understand their needs so we can provide the best possible care for their smile.
Our dental team loves getting to know your child, so we never rush through an appointment. Instead, we treat your child with the compassion and respect they deserve and work to answer your questions and provide all possible treatment options.
We recommend bringing your little one to see us around their first birthday so we can begin building a relationship with them and creating a strong oral health foundation. These early visits are an essential component of keeping your child’s smile healthy and happy for a lifetime.
Dental Care Focused on Your Child
As a pediatric dentist, Dr. Carlos Dorantes is uniquely qualified to care for your child’s teeth and gums. He understands the importance of preventive care and education to help prevent dental issues as your child gets older. He and his team work hard to create a fun, positive dental experience so children look forward to going to the dentist.
And if dental anxiety is a concern or you have a child with special needs, we offer nitrous oxide sedation to keep them calm and comfortable. For lengthy procedures, we work closely with an anesthesiologist who comes to our office. That way, we can focus on restoring your child’s oral health and provide the most efficient care possible.
We're Here When the Unexpected Happens
Even when you do your best to keep your child safe, accidents and dental emergencies can happen. The good news is that when a severe toothache or sports accident threatens your child’s well-being and oral health, we’re just a phone call away! We know what to do to alleviate their discomfort and work to save their natural teeth. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need emergency care.
