At Growing Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, we believe dental visits should be something kids look forward to—not fear.
Our philosophy is simple: no tears, no trauma, and no force. We’re not an advanced behavior guidance or protective stabilization practice, and we don’t believe in restraining children for care. Instead, we focus on creating a warm, supportive environment that puts comfort first and builds trust over time.
Many dental fears in adulthood stem from negative experiences in childhood—and we’re here to break that cycle. In fact, our founder, Dr. Vakil, experienced dental anxiety firsthand as a child. That early visit left a lasting impression, and it became part of the reason Growing Smiles was born: to offer something better.
We’re on a mission to reshape pediatric dentistry, one happy visit at a time.
From fun waiting room interactions to celebratory “first visit” moments, we intentionally create joyful moments that help children feel safe, seen, and proud of their care.
Every child deserves to grow in confidence with each appointment, and every parent deserves peace of mind knowing their child is in good hands. That’s why we prioritize clear communication, gentle care, and positive experiences—for kids and their families.
We’re proud to do things differently. We aren’t trying to be like every other pediatric office. We’re guided by our core values and our commitment to helping children smile brighter, healthier, and happier for years to come.
A Safe, Comfortable Place For Your Child
We’re excited to create a friendly, child-centered space for you and your child. Our exam rooms feature murals with lots of fun, bright colors, and we offer iPads and television to keep your child entertained. Give us a call today or go online to schedule an appointment!
