One Dental Home for Every Generation of Your Family

Most families would rather not drive to three different offices. At our Davie dental office you can book your five year old, your teenager, and your own parents into the same welcoming place, with the same two dentists who already know your family. We care for children at a first visit and patients well into their 80s and 90s.

Your child’s first visit

A first visit is mostly about getting comfortable. We say hello, count teeth, look at how the gums and bite are coming along, and clean gently. If we need to see between teeth, we take digital X-rays. Nothing is rushed, and we explain what we are doing in words a child can follow before we do it.

Care in your preferred language

Plenty of families at our Davie dental office speak Spanish at home. We do too. You can ask your questions and hear the answers in whichever language feels natural, and so can a grandparent who came along for the visit. No one in your family has to translate for anyone else, which matters most when the subject is your child’s health.

Generations of healthy smiles, in one place

We are a family run practice, so we understand what it takes to look after a whole family at once. Seeing everyone under one roof means we notice patterns, like a bite issue that runs in the family or a habit worth catching early. Your children grow up with us, and one day they bring their own children back.

Patient questions

What patients ask us

Can you really see my toddler and my grandmother at the same dental office?

Yes. We treat every age, from a child’s first visit through patients in their 80s and 90s. That is the point of a family dental home. One office, one set of records, two dentists who know the whole family, and no need to explain your history again every time someone new needs an appointment.

Do you speak Spanish with children and their parents?

We do. Care at our Davie dental office happens in English and in Spanish, whichever you prefer. That includes explaining what we found, what we recommend, and what it means, not just the greeting at the front desk. If Spanish is the language your family is most comfortable in, say so when you call.

My child is nervous about the dentist. How do you handle that?

Slowly. We show before we do, keep the language simple, and give a nervous child time to look around. If your child needs to stop, we stop. We would rather a first visit end early and stay positive than push through and leave them dreading the next one.

How much does a children's dental visit cost in Davie, FL?

A child's cleaning, exam and X-rays are priced the same way as an adult's, and most dental plans cover children's preventive visits generously. We are out of network by choice and file your claim for you. If your family is between plans, ask us, because we would rather find a way than have a child miss a checkup.

At what age should a child first see a dentist?

Bring your child in early, well before anything looks wrong, so the first visit is a friendly look around rather than a repair. Families come to us from Weston and across Davie for that first dental visit. We keep it short, we show your child everything before we use it, and nothing happens without warning.

How long does a child's dental appointment take?

A child's cleaning and checkup usually takes about half an hour, and we shorten it further if that is what your child can manage that day. We would rather build a good memory in twenty minutes than push through a full appointment and lose their trust for the next ten years.

More answers

Frequently asked questions

Do you see teenagers, or only younger children?

Both. Teenagers keep coming to the same Davie dental office they came to as kids, which means we already know their history and their bite. Cleanings, checkups, and digital X-rays carry on right through the teen years and into adulthood.

My parents are in their 80s. Can they come here too?

Yes. We care for patients in their 80s and 90s alongside their grandchildren. If it helps, ask about Spanish when you book, so an older relative can hear everything in their own language rather than through a family member.

How should I prepare my child for a first appointment?

Keep it simple and low key. Tell them we are going to count their teeth and take a look, and leave out words like hurt, shot, or drill. Bringing them along to your own checkup first can help. Beyond that, let us do the explaining.

Is a child’s cleaning done the same way as an adult’s?

A child’s cleaning is gentle and quick, and we go at whatever pace your child can handle. We check the teeth, the gums, and how the bite is developing while we are there.

Why does having one dental home matter?

Because we see the pattern, not the snapshot. When we have watched a family’s teeth for years, we spot what is changing and what is normal for you. It also makes life easier: one Davie dental office, one phone number, everyone’s records in one place.
