Minimally Invasive Dentistry

We focus on conservative treatment options that keep your child comfortable while protecting as much natural tooth structure as possible. When cavities are small or just beginning, we can often slow or stop them with medicated approaches instead of traditional drilling. Our doctors use the latest evidence-based techniques to give your child gentle, effective care.

Sedation Dentistry

Sedation helps children feel calm and comfortable during dental treatment, especially when they’re anxious or have more complex needs. Our team is fully trained to offer options ranging from nitrous oxide to oral conscious sedation and IV sedation, choosing the safest and most supportive approach for your child. We take time to explain every step so families feel confident and reassured throughout the process.

Hear From Our Happy Families

I am SO happy we found this practice. It was so clean, organized and aesthetically pleasing. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by one of the dentists who was willing to answer any questions we had, even before my son got in the chair!
The whole staff was amazing, kind and kept me informed throughout the visit. I couldn’t recommend this practice more!

" For the first time in over eight years, we had an stress-free and sweat free dental visit! We came with our concerns and felt heard and validated! We are super excited and look forward to our next dental visit with a lot less anxiety and that is a huge win for us, both patient and parent! Sensory issues can be tricky, but we felt that our son was met at his level and compassion and care were at the forefront! Thank you Luce Tooth for outstanding patient care!"

Jamie F.

"Such an amazing pediatric dentist office!! I brought my son in for his first ever dentist appointment and was a little nervous. This practice makes both child and parents feel so at ease and comfortable. The office is beautifully done and very clean. The dental hygienist (I forgot her name but so wonderful) and Dr. Scheps are amazing! Very happy with our choice to bring our son here."
