A lifetime of smiles starts with a strong foundation

Your child’s oral health is an important part of their growth, from their first baby tooth to their teenage years and beyond. We understand how busy family life can be with school, activities, and work. That is why we offer flexible hours and group appointments to make dental visits easier for everyone.

From the first visit to the day your child begins attending appointments on their own, we are here to support their journey toward lifelong oral health. Each stage brings new milestones, and we are proud to help your child smile with confidence at every one.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by the age of one, or within six months of their first tooth coming in, usually around six months of age. If you notice anything unusual or your child seems uncomfortable, do not wait. We are here to help, and it is never too late for their first visit.

Primary teeth are essential for more than just chewing. They hold space for permanent teeth and help guide your child’s bite and jaw development. Early dental issues can affect how your child eats, smiles, and builds confidence. Even mild dental pain can lead to long term habits around food choices and facial development.

Appointment times vary depending on your child’s age, needs, and cooperation, but most first visits last about one hour. Our team takes a gentle approach to help your child feel comfortable and safe throughout the process.

Children should have a dental checkup and cleaning every six months, just like adults. If your child has a sore jaw, avoids certain foods, or seems uncomfortable chewing, we recommend booking an appointment sooner.

Cavities happen when bacteria and plaque wear down the enamel and create small holes in the teeth. This can be made worse by sugary or acidic foods and drinks. Cavities may or may not cause pain, but they always need to be treated, even in baby teeth, to prevent infection and future problems.

Oral health is about more than just teeth. Gums, cheeks, bones, glands, and joints all work together. Sore, swollen, or bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease or a larger problem. Keeping gums healthy supports your child’s overall oral development.

Absolutely. We know that family life can be busy, so we offer grouped appointments for parents and children. Just give us a call and we will do our best to book your visits together and at a time that works for you.

Totally changed how I view going to the dentist! Everyone is very nice, and provide gentle and thorough work. They also explain their treatment plans in depth with estimates and make sure you’re comfortable before proceeding.

I have been going to Dr Jason Teerlink since he began practicing several years ago. His knowledge and concern for each patient is what I like best about his practice. I’ve had some difficult to diagnose issues, but he never let me down and will continue to work with me to find the best solution for my dental needs. His office staff is also amazing! I love the beautiful and modern office as well. It’s in a great location for me. Don’t hesitate to contact their office for your dental health needs.

The Smile Company has been amazing to me! I have dental anxiety, and I’ve had some bad experiences in the past. The Smile Company helps me feel comfortable and way less anxious. They are so welcoming and friendly, but also professional and knowledgeable. So glad I found them after avoiding going to the dentist for many years.
