Why East Montgomery Parents Choose Our Pediatric Dental Practice

What makes families drive past other dental offices to bring their kids to us? It comes down to specialization, atmosphere, and convenience.

Kids-Only Specialists with Advanced Training

The board-certified pediatric dentists at our practice completed two to three years of additional training beyond dental school, focused specifically on kids’ oral health. As Diplomates of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, they understand how kids’ mouths develop, how to communicate with kids at every age, and how to make dental visits positive experiences. General dentists treat everyone. By contrast, our doctors treat only kids, and that focus shows in every interaction.

An Office Designed for Kids, with Everything Under One Roof

From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll notice we’re different. The environment is welcoming, not clinical. Bright colors, friendly faces, and a team trained specifically in pediatric behavior guidance help even the most nervous little ones feel comfortable.

Need a cleaning, an orthodontic check, and maybe a consultation with our oral surgeon? We can coordinate it all in one trip. Busy East Montgomery parents appreciate not having to juggle multiple specialists at different locations. We even offer virtual orthodontic consultations for families with packed schedules.

A Track Record Families Trust

Montgomery, Prattville & Pike Road Pediatric Dentistry & Family Orthodontics has been caring for River Region families for over five decades. Our family orthodontists, Dr. Rob Owen and Dr. Frank Litchfield, bring years of experience and a reputation that families count on. That kind of trust comes from consistently delivering results that make families smile, visit after visit, year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Dentistry in East Montgomery

At what age should my child first visit a pediatric dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends your child’s first dental visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth appearing, whichever comes first. Early visits help us catch things before they become a bigger deal and get your child comfortable with dental care from the start.

What is the difference between a pediatric dentist and a general dentist?

A pediatric dentist completes two to three years of additional specialty training after dental school, focusing exclusively on kids’ oral health. This training covers child development, behavior guidance techniques, and the unique dental needs of infants through teenagers. Family dentists treat patients of all ages, while pediatric dentists design their offices and their approach specifically for young patients.

Do you accept my dental insurance?

Yes, we work with most major dental insurance plans for East Montgomery families. We recommend calling our office before your visit so we can verify your coverage. We’ll walk you through what your plan covers so there aren’t any surprises at checkout.
