What We Offer
Personalized and Comfortable
Pediatric Dental Care
Preventive Care
Routine appointments and preventive care are the heart of optimal dental health. During your bi-annual visits, we’ll perform a comprehensive exam, take any necessary x-rays, and professionally clean your teeth to keep your smile looking and feeling its best.
Frenectomies
Our frenectomy procedures remove the frenum, a thin piece of tissue found under the tongue or the upper gums beneath the upper lip, which can hinder teeth and jaw development, speech, and a poor latch for breastfeeding.
Special Needs Care
Our pediatric dental staff has undergone unique training to ensure that we can deliver the very best care to kids who need a little bit of extra attention and help, while being mindful and accommodating of any conditions from behavioral to sensory.

Hear From Our Happy Patients!
Sophie R.
"From the minute we walked in we were greeted with a smile! They explained us step by step the process, my son loved it and watched a movie the whole time!! Dr. Robyn was kind, friendly and explaining to me what she was doing. We had a tooth extraction and spacer done. We will be back!"
Ryan B.
"My 2.5 year old had extensive dental work done here by Dr. Robin. She has been very patient with our daughter as we previously came from a dentistry that used the "rainbow blanket" to get work done on younger patients. It was very traumatic for her, but with the friendly staff and quick but efficient work done by the doc we have been so impressed with 303 Pediatric Dentistry! My wife and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for one!"
Meghan S.
"Dr. Robin and the whole staff at 303 Pediatric Dentistry couldn’t be better. My 2 and 4 year olds love going to the dentist. The office is clean and state of the art with TVs set up for each patient. My husband and I were talking about how the doctor and hygienist (and even the front office staff) make going to the dentist such a pleasant and relaxing experience. I cannot day enough good things about all of them!"
