Ann Arbor Pediatric Dentistry

Ann Arbor Pediatric Dentistry is a well-established and highly regarded dental clinic located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a second office in Chelsea. Founded by Dr. Ray in 1988, the practice has grown significantly, expanding its facilities and team to include five full-time pediatric dentists and a dedicated staff. Their mission is to deliver the highest quality dental care to infants, children, adolescents, and individuals with special healthcare needs. The clinic's philosophy centers on a child-friendly and family-oriented approach, aiming to make every dental visit a comfortable and positive experience. They understand that children may experience anxiety about dental procedures and therefore employ specialized training in behavior guidance techniques and child psychology to put young patients at ease. This includes methods like "knee-to-knee" exams for very young children and the use of nitrous oxide or sedation dentistry for more anxious patients. Ann Arbor Pediatric Dentistry offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to children's unique oral health requirements. These services include, but are not limited to, preventive care such as regular check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to prevent cavities. They also provide restorative treatments for cavities and tooth defects, emergency dental care for injuries, and orthodontic assessments. They emphasize educating both children and parents on proper oral hygiene techniques, dietary choices, and the importance of consistent dental visits. Patient testimonials consistently highlight the clinic's caring and patient staff, their ability to make children feel at ease, and their professionalism in handling various dental situations, including emergencies and special needs. Many parents appreciate the detailed explanations provided and the focus on a positive dental experience from a young age, leading to a foundation for lifelong oral health. The clinic also integrates the newest technology and most up-to-date preventive and restorative care.
