How it works

How your child’s first visit goes

Nothing is done to your child that has not been explained to you both first.

  1. You look around

    Your child sees the room, the chair and the people before anyone counts a tooth.

  2. A look, on your lap if needed

    Very young children are examined knee to knee, with you holding them.

  3. Your questions

    Bottles, thumbs, brushing, fluoride. The visit exists as much for you as for them.

  4. A date to come back

    Usually six months, sooner if something genuinely needs watching.

Orthodontics at Elite

Orthodontics for kids and teens

Our orthodontists treat children and teens in this same office: an early check around age seven, Phase I treatment when it helps, then braces or aligners when the time is right.

  • The bite, watched at every exam

    Each check-up looks at how the bite is developing. If it needs an orthodontist’s opinion, the x-rays are already in the chart.

  • A first orthodontic check around seven

    In the same building, with a front desk your child already knows. Phase I treatment is only for the few children who benefit.

  • Braces and aligners for kids and teens

    Metal or ceramic braces and aligners for teens, with parents involved and informed at every step.

The visit went so smoothly because they are prepared and obviously know how to work with kids. They made my kid comfortable, explained everything at her level, even gave a first visit certificate. And the doctor was very thorough in her discussion with me.

Absolutely thrilled with our first visit here. The office is exceptionally clean and beautifully designed, it felt so welcoming from the moment we walked in. This was my 2-year-old's first dental appointment, and I was amazed at how comfortable they made her feel.

We had the best experience at Evan’s first dental appointment! As a mom, I was a little nervous since it was his very first visit, but the entire team made us feel so welcome and comfortable from the moment we walked in. The staff was incredibly patient, gentle, and kind with him.

Pediatric dentistry FAQs

Questions parents ask about pediatric visits

When should my child first see a dentist?

By the first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth. The first visit is mostly a conversation with you.

What happens at a first pediatric appointment?

Your child looks around, sits with you, and we count teeth. Nothing is done that has not been explained first.

Can I stay in the room?

Yes, for as long as you want to be. Very young children are examined on your lap.

Are baby teeth worth treating?

Yes. They hold space for the adult teeth, and an abscess in a baby tooth can damage the adult tooth forming above it.

How do I brush a toddler who fights it?

Ask at the visit. It is the single most common question, and a two-minute demonstration on your own child is worth more than any leaflet.

Do you see children with additional needs?

Please call before booking to discuss your child’s needs, comfort preferences and any accommodations. The team can help you plan an appropriate visit.
