Omg!!! Best experience for my son who is on the spectrum. First time we ever went to the dentist without non stop crying and screaming!!! The team is amazing. The work is quickly and effectively done. The Dr and the staff were very knowledgeable and genuinely kind. We did not feel rushed at any moment. If you are looking for a new pediatric dentist I recommend 100%

We have been patients of Dr Nair for years with our youngest child and she is amazing, it’s great that’s she’s opened her own practice and all of our kids love her. The new office is bright and very kid friendly (our kids love the Lego theme!) The staff is awesome, we look forward to many more years with her as all our children’s dentist. Pricing is up front and is very reasonable.

They fit you in as fast as they can and truly take your considerations as parents when making decisions on your children’s well being and care. We can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is, you won’t be disappointed with your experience.

Man, this place is amazing. They took my son in the same day with a dental emergency. Dr. Nair provided very good information prior to the procedure and was very calming for my son during it.

He previously had work done at another location, and he cried, but during this visit, he was relaxed. Words can't describe how good Dr. Nair and her staff are! I went and scheduled all my children for services at Building Smiles, our new dental home!!

I brought both of my children here and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The office is beautifully set up, modern, clean, and very welcoming. The LEGO wall is such a fun and creative touch, and my son absolutely loved it. The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating.

My son is on the autism spectrum, and they handled his visit with care and sensitivity, helping him feel comfortable throughout the appointment. I highly recommend this dental office to any family looking for compassionate, professional care in a child-friendly environment. We’ll definitely be returning!
