Our highly educational, individualized, parent-doctor collaborative approach allows us to help guide families to the treatment options that are right for them.
Together, Dr. Luce and Dr. Scheps bring years of training, teamwork, and heart to every visit. Their family-led approach helps children feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for.
Our doctors are board-certified pediatric specialists with extensive training in children’s dental needs. They combine clinical excellence with a compassionate approach that puts families at ease.
