"My daughter had a bad toothache and was leaving for a week so they were amazing and got us in. Turned out we had an urgent situation in our hands and we were guided and taken thru the process to connect to a referral source and got us in right away and with the information and medications we needed. Above and beyond customer service, thank you!!"
Kim Bishop
"Krista, the dental hygienist is so awesome at her job! She made my 2.5 year old daughter feel so comfortable and safe. Krista took her time to explain all of the tools, what she was going to do each step of the way, and spoke with our daughter in a way that was relatable (like how the polisher make the same noise as Lightening McQueen). It was a great experience at the dentist for our little girl - thank you!"
Katie Batz Bowell
"We love coming here for our littles! Receptionists and scheduling is always super easy, they book you three months in advance over the phone. Every single hygienist we’ve had has been amazing with our toddlers! They have great technique and support for the young ones and have made every visit and easy experience, no tantrums or anxiety. Would recommend for anyone with a kid seeking great care and good support! Dr Bates was amazing and addressed all our questions and concerns easily."

At Metropolitan Pediatric Dental Associates, we make dental care fun and easy for kids. Our experienced dentists provide a safe, welcoming environment where children’s smiles thrive.
Beyond graduation from dental school, all of the pediatric dentists at Metropolitan Pediatric Dental Associates have completed an additional 2-year residency in pediatrics. Because of our specialty training, we are more knowledgeable and experienced with the dental conditions that arise in children than a general dentist who does not specialize in children’s dentistry.
DENTISTRY DESIGNED FOR EVERY CHILD
