Camp Smile Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

Camp Smile Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics is a well-established and highly-rated dental clinic dedicated to providing specialized oral healthcare for children and adolescents from infancy through their teenage years. With multiple locations across Minnesota, including Chaska, Plymouth, Maple Grove, and Excelsior, Camp Smile offers a comprehensive suite of services under one roof, making dental and orthodontic care convenient for families. Their team consists of board-certified pediatric dentists and orthodontists who have undergone extensive additional training beyond general dentistry, enabling them to address the unique dental and developmental needs of young patients. They prioritize creating a child-friendly and comfortable environment, often employing techniques like laser dentistry (Solea laser for numb-free appointments) and nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") to alleviate dental anxiety. Services provided by Camp Smile include, but are not limited to: Pediatric Dentistry: Infant exams (recommended by a child's first birthday), routine dental exams and cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, fillings and restorations, pulpotomies (for children's teeth), tooth extractions, management of lip and tongue ties, general anesthesia for complex cases or anxious patients, and emergency dental services. They emphasize preventive care and educating both children and parents on good oral hygiene habits. Orthodontics: Early intervention orthodontics (Phase I treatment) for issues like crossbites, overjets, and crowding, as well as comprehensive orthodontic care (Phase II) for older children and teens. They offer traditional braces, clear aligners (Invisalign), and various orthodontic appliances. Their integrated approach allows for seamless coordination between pediatric dental care and orthodontic treatment, often enabling patients to have dental check-ups and orthodontic adjustments during the same visit. They also provide retainers to maintain results. Camp Smile is known for its compassionate and personalized approach, catering to children with special healthcare needs as well. They accept most employer-sponsored and self-funded insurances, and are in-network with providers like United Healthcare Dental, Health Partners, and Delta Dental. With a strong emphasis on early prevention, education, and a positive patient experience, Camp Smile strives to lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
