In addition to pediatric dentistry, we also offer orthodontics. Our pediatric dentists work closely with our orthodontists, Dr. Doug Hiser and Dr. Meridith Long, to offer complete comprehensive care for your children. And, as a bonus, we offer two free cleanings (in addition to the two regular cleanings covered by insurance) when our pediatric patients choose orthodontic treatment in our offices.
