Dr. Patel is a board-certified pediatric dentist, a dedicated mother, and an author, bringing a unique blend of professional excellence and maternal insight to her practice. Her commitment to maintaining excellence and staying updated with the latest advancements in dentistry is a "pinky promise" to her young patients.

They also offer family-friendly amenities like a dedicated nursing room and ample parking to ensure a seamless experience for parents. Pinky Promise Pediatric Dentistry offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to children's unique needs. These include routine teeth cleanings and oral exams, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants for preventive care. They specialize in minimally invasive dentistry, utilizing advanced techniques and technologies such as the Solea CO2 laser for procedures to minimize discomfort, bleeding, and recovery times, often eliminating the need for anesthesia. Specific services include frenectomies for tongue and lip ties, various types of pediatric dental crowns (Hall crowns, stainless steel crowns, and Sprig EZCrowns made from zirconia), and MTA indirect and direct pulp capping to save teeth from decay. They also provide specialized care for infants, focusing on early oral health, teething support, feeding habit review, and early cavity prevention. A significant aspect of their practice is their dedication to special needs care, tailoring every visit to meet individual needs and ensuring comfort for all children. They offer various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), IV sedation, and, when necessary, general anesthesia in a hospital setting with a certified anesthesiologist, partnering with Pediatric Dental Anesthesia Associates (PDAA) for in-house services. The clinic's unique approach emphasizes building trust, comfort, and confidence from the very first visit. They use child-friendly language, visual aids, and even a children's book written by Dr. Patel that familiarizes kids with the office and procedures. They prioritize patient education, empowering children and parents with the knowledge and tools for lifelong oral health. Reviews consistently highlight the staff's kindness, patience, and ability to create a positive and fun dental experience for children, making them look forward to their visits.
