Families First Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

Families First Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics is a distinctive healthcare provider specializing in comprehensive pediatric care for children from birth through their adolescent years. What sets them apart is their integrated approach, offering four key specialties under one roof: pediatric medical care, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and mental health services, including counseling and medication management. This holistic model was developed by three pediatricians who recognized the need for a more coordinated and convenient healthcare experience for families. Their mission is rooted in providing exceptional, responsive care that caters to the entire child's well-being, not just isolated health concerns. They aim to make healthcare seamless and stress-free for busy parents by co-locating services, enabling families to schedule medical check-ups and dental cleanings on the same day at one location. This integrated team approach, with pediatricians, dentists, orthodontists, and mental health specialists collaborating, leads to better patient outcomes and increased convenience. For instance, dentists can consult with pediatricians, and orthodontic referrals can be made seamlessly for early interventions that can shorten and ease treatment. Families First Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics prioritizes creating a positive and engaging patient experience. Their offices are designed to be child-friendly, with elements like bright colors, fun textures, play areas, and entertainment options (e.g., flat-screen TVs with streaming services) to help ease children's fears and anxieties. They emphasize a gentle and personalized approach, treating each child as if they were their own and tailoring care to individual needs, fears, and personalities. They offer "Free Under Three" dental exams for toddlers (including x-ray, cleaning, and fluoride treatment) and complimentary orthodontic consultations for all ages to promote early preventive care. Services provided include routine dental cleanings, cavity care, teeth whitening, and pre-orthodontic evaluations. Their orthodontic services cater to both children and adults, offering traditional braces and Invisalign. For medical care, they provide well-child checkups, sick visits, and specialized services like lactation consultation. The practice also offers various pain management options to ensure a comfortable experience for children during dental procedures. Families First Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics is physician-owned and directed, ensuring a unique perspective on pediatrics. They accept most insurance plans and offer flexible payment options, including prompt-pay discounts and a sliding scale for qualifying families, making quality care accessible. With multiple locations across the Salt Lake Valley, including Riverton, West Jordan, South Jordan, Bluffdale, and Stansbury Park, they are committed to serving a broad community and actively working to expand their integrated care model to more Utah families.
