Detailed Introduction
Central Minnesota Pediatric Dentists (CMPD Smiles) is a well-established pediatric dental clinic with several locations serving the Central Minnesota region, including Willmar, Sartell, Baxter, and Big Lake. They specialize exclusively in providing dental care for infants, children, and adolescents, with a strong emphasis on creating a positive and comfortable environment for young patients.
The clinic offers a comprehensive range of pediatric dental services, including routine cleanings and exams, preventive care such as fluoride treatments and sealants, and restorative procedures like fillings and crowns. They are equipped to handle various dental needs for children, including those with special healthcare needs and autism spectrum disorder, demonstrating a commitment to inclusive care.
CMPD Smiles has a team of board-certified pediatric dentists, such as Dr. Mike Steil, Dr. Gregg Larson, and Dr. Andrée Dubois, who have undergone specialized training beyond general dentistry to address the unique oral health requirements of children. Their approach prioritizes early dental assessments, often recommending a child's first visit by age one or with the eruption of their first tooth, to establish a foundation for lifelong oral health.
In addition to their in-office services, Central Minnesota Pediatric Dentists also offers access to surgical centers like the CentraCare Surgery Center, St. Cloud Hospital, and St. Cloud Surgical Center for procedures requiring general anesthesia, ensuring that even complex cases can be managed with appropriate care. They accept various payment options, including private health insurance (in-network with Delta Dental and Health Partners), private pay, and financing through CareCredit, and also offer a discount for full payment on the day of service. Their patient-focused philosophy aims to make dental visits easy, entertaining, and educational for children, fostering a positive outlook on dental care from a young age.
