Not your grandma's dental office! – We have created a fun, non-threatening environment for you and your child. From the moment you walk in you will encounter a colorful, interactive and fun environment. From toys, movies, dry erase and magnetic walls, to our welcoming and friendly staff. We are very proud of our well-kept, though through and beautiful office space.

Our greatest asset is our team! – Our team is passionate and good about what they do-you will see! Treating young or anxious children can be at times challenging. Our staff is trained and has the heart to deal with these situations in a loving and safe manner. We don’t take your trust in us for granted!

It’s also about you, the parent – We provide education and counseling as well as thorough explanations of procedures, treatment options, finances and overall approach to a successful dental experience for your child. We listen!

Cincinnati's premier dentist for kids – All ages from infancy until adulthood — sometimes they don’t want to leave!

One-of-a-kind & forward-thinking – I believe oral health is extremely import. But I also believe your child’s emotional well-being, based on his/​her cognitive ability, level of anxiety, coping mechanism due to medical or behavioral issues are as important when determining the right path in providing that care. That’s why we personalized each experience-no two children are the same, why should their dental experience?

We like to have fun too! – We seem goofy at times, but don’t think for a moment we are not professional and providing excellent dental care. We are good at what we do, and we care :)
