Pediatric Dentist Valencia, Santa Clarita, CA

Why Choose Us?

From checkups to orthodontics to emergency care, we provide patient-focused dental services for all ages. By facilitating complete family dental care under one roof, we make it easier for parents and caregivers to do what’s best for their children. Plus, we’re able to develop long-term relationships with your family, better serving your needs as your children grow, your schedule gets busier, and you need care beyond that of a traditional children’s dentist. Valencia residents know we put their needs first, offering the same attentive care that we do for our own children.

Our goal as your child’s dentist is to intercept minor dental issues as quickly as possible. This allows for simpler, more affordable, and less invasive treatment. In turn, we help your child enjoy stronger teeth and a lower risk of complex dental issues as they grow up. 

Children’s Dental Services Offered in Our Valencia Office

Sierra Dental Practice offers several treatments tailored for children. Instead of finding a separate Valencia pediatric dentist, you can enjoy complete smile care for everyone in your family. Here are just some of the pediatric treatments that we provide:

Dental Exams and X-rays for Kids—Your child’s smile is growing rapidly and changing nonstop as the months go by. Routine examinations and intermittent diagnostic X-rays allow us to monitor changes and screen for early issues before they evolve into major ones. We use imaging to evaluate eruption patterns, monitor tooth development, screen for cysts, assess jaw growth, check for wisdom teeth, perform orthodontic evaluations, and more. 

Preventative Care—Professional dental cleanings and fluoride treatments give your child a head start in the fight against tooth decay. We provide age-appropriate advice to help your child keep their smile healthy into adulthood. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists recommends taking your child in for a dental checkup every six months. As your child’s permanent (adult) teeth begin to come in, we recommend placing protective sealants over them to make their teeth easier to clean; this usually occurs around ages 6 and 12, respectively.

Pediatric Dental Fillings—Cavities can spread rapidly in primary (baby) teeth. Treating them early prevents additional areas of tooth decay and minimizes the extent of treatment your child needs. We incorporate white composite fillings, which are minimally invasive. Although baby teeth eventually fall out on their own, active cavities should be treated promptly. Otherwise, premature tooth loss could lead to major orthodontic concerns and changes in their skeletal growth patterns.

Composite Bonding—It’s common for children to bump their mouths while they’re playing or if they trip on something. For small chips in teeth, we can place dental bonding to cover, protect, and restore your child’s tooth. This material is similar to what we use for fillings and is matched to blend in with your child’s smile. 

Emergency Treatment—Painful toothaches, chipped teeth, or injuries during an athletic activity usually mean you need to see a dentist immediately. For emergency children’s dentistry in Santa Clarita, Sierra Dental Practice is here to put your mind at ease. We’ll do everything we can to make your child comfortable as quickly as possible.

Orthodontics—We routinely monitor your child’s bite alignment and eruption patterns at every dental checkup. If correction or tooth alignment is needed, we also offer in-house orthodontic treatment. In addition to traditional braces, our dentists also provide Invisalign for teens and adults. For best results, plan your child’s first orthodontic evaluation no later than age 7.
