Comprehensive Pediatric Care

Our treatments are tailored to growing smiles, utilizing modern techniques and a gentle touch.

First Tooth Exams

Establishing a dental home early is crucial. We perform comprehensive knee-to-knee exams, gentle fluoride varnish applications, and provide in-depth parental education on teething, pacifier use, and nutritional habits that protect primary teeth.

Sensory-Friendly Cleanings

Designed for children with sensory processing differences, we utilize whisper-quiet handpieces, unflavored prophylaxis paste, and dimmable overhead lighting. Our specialized "Tell-Show-Do" behavioral desensitization workflow ensures kids know exactly what to expect.

Restorative Dentistry

When cavities happen, we focus on minimally invasive restorative care. We offer BPA-free composite (white) fillings and durable pediatric crowns designed to preserve the structural integrity of primary teeth until natural exfoliation occurs.

Preventative Sealants

A proactive approach to oral health. We apply protective, flowable resin coatings to the deep grooves and chewing surfaces of newly erupted molars. This physically blocks out food particles and cariogenic bacteria, effectively preventing early childhood caries.

Dental Emergencies

Accidents happen. We reserve same-day appointment slots for urgent situations like chipped, avulsed (knocked-out), or fractured teeth. Our team provides immediate, compassionate care to relieve pain, stabilize the tooth, and calm both child and parent.

Portland pediatric dental team

Rooted in Portland. Focused on Comfort.

Located in the heart of Portland, Oregon, Sprout Smiles is redefining pediatric dentistry. We believe that a trip to the dentist shouldn't be overwhelming. That's why we specialize in sensory-friendly care, providing a calm, minimalist environment for all children.

Our signature "Tell-Show-Do" workflow allows kids to experience dental tools at their own pace. We explain what a tool does, show them how it works on their hand, and only then proceed with treatment. This builds lifelong trust and drastically reduces anxiety.
