Pediatric Dentistry West

Pediatric Dentistry West, located at 520 W Navajo St, West Lafayette, IN 47906, is a well-established dental clinic specializing in pediatric dentistry. The clinic is part of Bozic DDS, which also has an Indianapolis office, and is staffed by a team of highly trained pediatric dentists, including Dr. John Bozic, Dr. Zach Bozic, and Dr. Amanda Martinez, who collectively have extensive experience in the field. The practice focuses on creating a kid-friendly and welcoming environment to alleviate dental anxiety. Their offices feature bright colors, playful imagery, and amenities like a basketball room and train station to help children feel at ease. They emphasize a gentle, patient-centered approach, adapting to each child's individual needs and preferences, even allowing them to choose where to sit (chair or parent's lap) to foster a sense of control. Pediatric Dentistry West offers a wide range of services, including routine check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants for preventive care. They are skilled in addressing common dental issues in children, such as cavities and tooth decay, and also provide specialized care for children with neurodevelopmental disorders like autism or other physical disabilities. For more complex procedures or anxious patients, they offer various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and general anesthesia in a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery center for enhanced safety and comfort. They prioritize a "No Restraint" policy, focusing instead on positive reinforcement, providing options, modeling, and voice control techniques to guide behavior. The clinic encourages parental involvement, inviting parents to accompany their children during visits to help them feel more comfortable. They also provide emergency dental care and guidance for managing dental trauma at home until a professional appointment can be made. Their comprehensive approach aims to build a positive relationship between the child, parents, and the dental team, promoting a lifetime of good oral health habits.
