The Office
Smiles for Kids welcomes families into a state-of-the-art pediatric dental office designed to make every child and parent feel right at home. Our modern, joyful approach to dentistry is built around the belief that great dental health starts early and lasts a lifetime. From playful touches to thoughtful comforts, we’ve considered every detail to support both kids and their families in a warm, welcoming environment.
The Welcome Area
Step into a world of bright colors, playful energy, and fun around every corner! As you arrive, our warm and friendly staff will greet you at the front desk and help you with any forms or questions you may have.
While you take your time providing us with important information about your child, your little ones can enjoy our kid-friendly reception area. There’s plenty to keep them smiling, including a giant Light Bright sensory peg board, games on our tablets, a selection of books to read, movies to watch, and a space to play and explore!
We’re so glad you’re here and can’t wait to care for your family in a space that’s as fun and welcoming as it is comforting.
New Patient Room
If your little one is a new patient, or is still under three years of age, we will invite you to our New Patient Room. We created this special area to accommodate both patients and parents in a separate room with toys, books, and a TV to better get to know our families. Little ones get to play, meet the hygienist, assistant, and the doctor without the hustle and bustle of the entire office. We spend time here talking about oral hygiene, healthy eating habits, thumb sucking, and answering all questions. Finally we provide an age appropriate dental cleaning and exam.
“Hygiene” Area
Patients visiting for cleanings will head to our bright and cheerful Hygiene Area. While their teeth are being cleaned by our amazing hygienist, kids can enjoy the colorful mural wall and vibrant rainbow arch, making the experience fun and memorable. While siblings are being seen or waiting their turn, children can relax in our cozy living room area complete with fun toys, comfy seating, and movies to keep them entertained. We’ve designed every part of our office to be inviting, engaging, and focused on both excellent dental care and a positive dental experience - so every visit is something kids can look forward to.
Exam Room
When it’s time for your child’s exam, we’ll invite you to join us in the Exam Room. Here, Dr. Theriot will review your child’s digital x-rays on a large TV screen, walk you through what we see, and answer any questions you may have. We’ll examine your child’s bite, check tonsil size, look for any cavities, evaluate the gums, and discuss any orthodontic needs. Dr. Theriot will go over possible treatment options and take time to talk through any concerns you may have.
Treatment Rooms
Our bright and colorful treatment rooms are designed to make kids feel relaxed and at ease. Each room has a TV on the ceiling, so children can choose their favorite Disney+ movie to watch during their visit—turning dental care into a fun, comforting experience.
Check-Out Counters
After the exam or treatment visit, we’ll walk your family to the check-out area, where kids can pick a fun prize from our Treasure Tower. While they celebrate a job well done, our patient care coordinator will assist you with check-out, review any recommended next steps, and help you explore your insurance and payment options.
We hope you have enjoyed your time with us and we look forward to your next call and visit!
