Fircrest Children's Dentistry

Fircrest Children's Dentistry is a specialized pediatric dental clinic located at 1501 Regents Blvd # 200, Fircrest, WA 98466. With a strong focus on creating a positive and anxiety-free dental experience for children, the clinic aims to counteract common fears associated with dental visits. They achieve this through a warm, pleasant, and fun atmosphere, starting with a kid-friendly waiting room equipped with playhouses, toys, and video games. During appointments, children can relax by watching their favorite shows or movies on ceiling-mounted TVs, and after their visit, they receive a token to pick a prize from a toy tower, reinforcing a positive association with dental care. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of dental services tailored specifically for children, including: Preventive Care: Dental cleanings, exams, X-rays, age 1 to 2 visits, and dental sealants to protect against cavities. Restorative Procedures: Fillings (composite), dental crowns, pulpectomies and pulpotomies, and tooth extractions. Space Maintenance: To ensure proper alignment as permanent teeth emerge. Sedation for Kids: To help anxious children feel comfortable during procedures. A standout feature of Fircrest Children's Dentistry is their adoption of Solea laser technology. This advanced CO2 dental laser system largely replaces the traditional dental drill for most procedures, often eliminating the need for anesthesia. This significantly reduces discomfort, pain, and recovery time, allowing children to return to their normal activities without the lingering numb sensation. Fircrest Children's Dentistry prides itself on being one of the first pediatric dental practices in Pierce County to offer this innovative technology. The team, including Dr. Stephen Beck and Dr. Kevin McCoy, is described by patients as friendly, compassionate, and patient, consistently working to build trust and confidence with both children and their families. They emphasize educating children on proper brushing and flossing techniques and are dedicated to helping children develop a positive mindset toward dental health for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Parents are welcome to accompany their children to both hygiene and treatment areas, fostering transparency and comfort. The clinic accepts various insurance plans and offers assistance with billing.
