Pediatric Care
Dr. Stoffel is an Experienced Children’s Dentist Gently Caring for Young Smiles
Dr. Stoffel is a father and grandfather who understands that children require special treatment. As a caring children's dentist, he puts kids at ease with his calming manner and sense of fun.
Our team recommends that you bring your child for a first visit at age one, or earlier if you notice problems. Dr. Stoffel will perform a gentle exam to check for decay and assess tooth development and bite alignment. Then he'll suggest therapies for prevention or treatment of dental issues. If your child requires a numbing injection, don't worry. Dr. Stoffel's gentle technique is appreciated by children and adults alike!
Cavity Fighters – Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatments
Dental sealants and fluoride treatments strengthen teeth and deter decay. Sealants are thin plastic coatings that smooth the surface of back teeth to make them easier to clean, warding off cavity formation. Fluoride is another powerful cavity fighter. Children who drink bottled, instead of tap, water may have a fluoride deficiency. Dr. Stoffel applies fluoride directly to teeth for added strength and protection.
Orthodontics – Traditional Braces and Invisalign
Dr. Stoffel has undergone advanced orthodontic training to deliver safe, effective therapies that straighten teeth and correct misaligned bites. We offer traditional metal braces, as well as Invisalign clear aligners. Traditional braces gradually reposition teeth using tension created by metal wires attached to brackets. They are an ideal orthodontic solution for teens and pre-teens. Our mature patients often prefer Invisalign clear braces to achieve their ideal smile. Visit our Invisalign page to learn more.
