The Heart of Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric dentistry is far more than smaller tools and colorful decorations. It’s a specialized field that combines dental knowledge with understanding of child development and age-appropriate communication techniques. Our Phoenix pediatric dentists understand how children’s teeth, jaws, and oral structures develop from infancy through the teenage years. Our team is dedicated to providing preventive care, early intervention, and treatments specifically designed for growing smiles.
Making Dental Visits Positive Experiences
Comprehensive Pediatric Dental Services in Phoenix
Early Childhood Dental Care (Ages 0-3)
We provide first dental visits and oral health assessments, along with guidance for parents on infant oral hygiene, thumb-sucking habits, and preventing baby bottle tooth decay. Our team of Phoenix pediatric dental professionals also offer advice on teething comfort and establishing good oral health routines from the start.
Preventive Pediatric Dental Care (Ages 4-12)
Regular dental cleanings and checkups form the foundation of good oral health. We offer fluoride treatments for cavity prevention, dental sealants for molars, and space maintainers when baby teeth are lost prematurely. Education about proper brushing and flossing techniques helps children learn to care for their teeth independently.
Pediatric Dental Treatments
When treatment is needed, we provide tooth-colored fillings for cavities, pediatric crowns for damaged teeth, and pulp therapy when necessary. Our team can also perform gentle tooth extractions and provide emergency dental care for children when accidents happen.
Teen Dental Services (Ages 13-18)
We offer comprehensive dental care for teenagers, including orthodontic evaluations, wisdom tooth monitoring, and sports mouth guard fittings. Our teen-focused approach helps young adults transition to taking full responsibility for their oral health.
Creating Comfort for Young Patients
We understand that dental visits can feel overwhelming for children. Our approach focuses on age-appropriate communication, taking time to explain procedures in ways children can understand, and using positive reinforcement to help build their confidence.
We work at each child’s pace and incorporate behavioral guidance techniques naturally into our care to help children feel more secure during their visits.
For children with dental anxiety or extensive treatment needs, we offer safe sedation options including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation, always administered by our trained pediatric dental team.
Our Approach to Children's Dental Care
From the eruption of first teeth through teenage years, we guide families through important oral health milestones, providing guidance and preventive care recommendations. Our team teaches children and parents proper brushing techniques, flossing skills, and nutrition choices that support optimal oral health throughout childhood and beyond.
Focus on Pediatric Needs
Our team has experience working with children of all ages and understands the unique dental needs that arise during different stages of childhood development.
Family-Centered Care
We believe parents are essential partners in their child’s oral health journey. We provide education, support, and guidance to help families maintain good oral health habits at home.
Modern Dental Technology
Our practice uses current dental technology, including digital X-rays with reduced radiation exposure and modern techniques designed with patient comfort in mind.

The Dental Implant Procedure
- Initial Consultation
Sky Dental is a leading provider of dental implants in Phoenix. Our Arizona dentists have the advanced skill to provide the new teeth you need. It starts with a free implant consultation.
- Implant Placement
Your oral surgeon will replace the root with titanium and attach a post for the crown. After surgery, there’s a brief waiting period before you are cleared to go home. You’ll want to have a driver with you.
- Healing Period
During the healing period, you will have minor responsibilities for keeping the area clean. Pain management may be needed for the first few days. The actual healing may take about six weeks.
- Placement of Final Crown
Once the healing has occurred, our Phoenix dentists will create a crown to exactly fill the space. Then they will attach it to the post. There is little discomfort associated with this final step.
