PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

It's important for your children to have positive dental experiences in order to get the care they need, and it's our job to make that happen! Dr. Amy Augustine, our board-certified pediatric dentist, and the rest of our team value both your child's dental health and their perception of dentistry. We understand the experiences your children have now will shape their attitude toward dental work in the future. 

You may be surprised at how well your child does when they come to our office. We will keep the visit as short, pleasant and stress-free as possible - both for you and your child! We'll work hard to make your little one relaxed and calm before, during and after treatment. Your child is even welcome to watch television or listen to music during his or her procedure (all while YOU enjoy a cup of gourmet coffee and WiFi)!

Your child will likely get excited about some of our fun children's programs designed to encourage a positive attitude toward dental care, including our annual themed Kids' Day events, fun prize drawings, rewards for good grades, Give Kids a Smile outreach and our Cavity-Free Kids Club! 

We offer the latest technology to identify any issues your child may be having early, and treat them as effectively and pain-free as possible. Our pediatric services include:

• Preventative hygiene (cleanings, fluoride, etc.)
• ​Frenectomies (Tongue & Lip Ties)
• Sealants (to prevent cavities)
• Mercury-free fillings
• General Anesthesia Sedation (especially good for children with special needs)
• Extractions
• Crowns
• Root canals

At Dental Excellence, your child's smile couldn't be in better hands! Call today to schedule your child's appointment!

5-STAR RATED DENTAL OFFICE

"We met with Dr. Amy for our youngest adopted daughter who has typically struggled at the dentist due to a history of trauma and lack of dental care. She and I usually leave in tears because it's such a traumatic experience. For the first time, our little girl was SO cooperative and we didn't have to do a knee to knee cleaning as I hold her down in tears. Dr. Amy sang while she brushed and polished and was such a dream for our little girl. I could not be happier with our experience!" -Lindsay M. 

I just took my one and a half-year-old daughter to Dental Excellence in Napoleon. The dental hygienist was so sweet and understanding of my daughter's nervousness. She took her time and made both of us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend the pediatric dentistry at Dental Excellence." -Elizabeth W.

"I never thought I would hear my kids talk so excitedly about going to the dentist. They can't wait to wear their t-shirts the next time they go and earn a prize!" -Rebecca S.

"They did an awesome job with my son on his first dental visit! They made him very comfortable and let him explore a little bit. He was very excited to tell his daddy all about it!" - Vanancio P.

"My son has been going here for several years now. Each visit is awesome with him. He loves the dentist but sometimes his anxiety can get in the way. They never make him feel like he's acting horrible. They always explain things to him as he goes and does good at calming him down when needed. He always feels special when he leaves!" -Shawna S.
