Why Parents Love Kidstown Dental

Maddie K.
AMAZING experience from start to finish. Super organized, kind, comprehensive. I brought my 1-year-old daughter for her first dentist appointment. They had so many toys for her to play with and she was so happy the whole time. They were really engaging with my daughter and really made her feel at home. They are very committed that your kids want to come back to the dentist. I wish every medical provider was like them. I am a very very impressed new customer and this will definitely be my kids’ full-time dentist
Alaina M.
Excellent all around. We had my infant daughter’s oral ties assessed with Kidstown everyone was so kind, professional and organized. The clinic for the oral ties was informative. I took my older daughter back two days later to have her assessed for a tongue tie and the entire process was great! I felt like all of my questions were answered and concerns were put to ease. I have already recommended you all and will continue to do so!
Amanda C.
My 5 year old son had to have a dental procedure where he had to be fully sedated. It was a scary process to go through and understand but the dentist, staff, and anesthesiologist were extremely transparent about the process- they called me in advance about what to expect. When we got there everyone was so warm and thoughtful- I received updates every so often while my son had his procedure. They truly went above and beyond to help make us comfortable in an uncomfortable situation.
Tifany L.
I was very impressed with Kidstown. We drove an hour and a half to use them because they came so highly recommended by our pediatrician. Once we were there I understood why they were so highly recommended. Everyone was polite, professional and really seemed to care about each client. We were there to get a frenotomy for our 1 month old and it went very smoothly. I also heard the dentists working with older kids and was so impressed with their kindness and patience with all ages
Ashlie C.
Staff A+++!! I was having a day with my newborn and very energetic toddler. The staff was very welcoming and helpful with my toddler.
Love F.
Always a good experience, great facility and super awesome staff. They are excellent with special needs children also. Highly recommend!
Tom H.
We really appreciate every one of the staff members there. They treated us like we were the only patient, and there were about 8 other children in the clinic getting treatments.
Elise D.
This entire dental team took time to give education on procedures and how my child would benefit in the future. Their knowledge far exceeded my expectations as well as their natural approach to healing and pain management.
Stephanie K.
Kidstown Dental is awesome! They are amazing with kids, and have always been so patient with my son. They have gone above and beyond when it comes to care and service. Definitely recommend.
Lynda B.
The staff went above and beyond to help me and my daughter when she had a tooth emergency. They stayed after hours and were extremely kind and helpful to us in every way! Would definitely recommend!
Szilvia S.
We went for my son’s 6 month dental check up. All staff were attentive, informative, caring and professional! Well done all and see you for our next visit! I can warmly recommend this place for your children’s dental needs.
April M.
From the time we walked, everyone was so inviting and friendly.The dentist was very kind and gentle and made sure my son was comfortable. She and her assistant were amazing. Would definitely recommend anyone to take their children to Kidstown Dental!
Amy S.
Excellent dentist for kids! It is important to us that our daughter has a positive experience at the dentist and builds lifelong healthy habits. Kidstown Dental always makes sure she is comfortable and also educates her on how to take good care of her teeth and gums. Highly recommend.
Lacy D.
I was highly impressed at how kind everyone was! I was also happy with all the help we received. I’m so happy I chose to go with Kidstown Dental to help my baby get her tongue and lip ties revised. Best decision I’ve ever made! It was definitely worth the 1+ hour drive.
Rebecca H.
I brought my son here for his frenectomy procedure. The process was so thorough. They take an interdisciplinary approach to ensure the best outcomes are met. I felt confident in the staff and in my understanding of the procedure and it's benefits. Every member of the staff was welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. I have already referred friends to them! I could not be more pleased with the care we've been provided!
Chrissy C.
I have never been to a dentist where you felt calm and happy. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Not only did they treatmy son like VIP but so did my other 2 kids with me. They really took time with my son, made of fun for him and made us feel like we were top priority. I am so happy I came here because they made it so nice that my son asked if he could come back tomorrow.
Christy A.
We had a great visit! There was a very short wait. The Dentist got to us quickly and performed a very thorough but quick exam on my 3 year old and 1 year old. It was pleasant for them. After the exam, they explained everything well and were very clear on the next steps to take. I was very impressed!
Devon F.
We had a wonderful experience at Kidstown. Absolutely amazing staff. I told my husband if I could work anywhere, it would be a place like Kidstown Dental. I had a question about my son late last night at 8pm or 9pm and I got an immediate response. You seriously don't get this type of care and expertise anywhere else.
Gussie M.
The staff are real, very friendly, and down to earth. We were truly treated like family and felt welcomed. My 3 year old was so comfortable throughout the entire appointment and actually didn't want to leave. I was nervous it would be a stressful time for my daughter, but there's no doubt in my mind she'll willingly return for all upcoming appointments based on this easy, positive experience for her.

A Whitening Program
‍Built for Teens

Trays Made for Their Smile

Every whitening tray is molded from your teen's own teeth, so the whitening solution reaches every surface evenly instead of pooling in the gaps a generic tray leaves behind. An ill-fitting tray can let the whitening gel sit against the gums, which is one of the more common causes of irritation with at-home kits, custom trays are built to avoid that.

A Program Designed for Teens

This program is designed specifically for teenage patients, with a plan matched to where they are right now: how many permanent teeth are in, whether there's any existing dental work to work around, and how ready they are to follow an at-home routine.

Checked by Their Dentist First

Whitening isn't recommended over untreated cavities or unhealthy gums, so we confirm your teen's teeth and gums are ready before anything starts. That step protects your teen from more sensitivity than expected and keeps the whole process supervised, instead of left to guesswork at home.

What Is a Tongue-Tie? (Lingual Frenectomy)

The teen years bring a lot of moments where a smile feels like it's on display, and it's completely normal for a teenager to start noticing stains and want to do something about it:

  • Class photos, first dates, and sports pictures that capture a smile for years to come
  • A lot more time in front of a phone camera than past generations ever had
  • Noticeable staining from food, drinks, or braces that a teen suddenly wants fixed
  • A dentist-supervised option, so you're not left guessing whether a drugstore kit is a safe fit for a smile that's still developing

Is Teen Take-Home Whitening Right for Your Teen?

This program is a good fit if your teen:

  • Has all or nearly all of their permanent teeth in, which we'll confirm at their consultation
  • Wants a brighter smile before an event like homecoming, a school photo, or graduation
  • Has noticeable staining from food, drinks, or wearing braces
  • Is cavity-free with healthy gums, confirmed at their consultation
  • Wants a dentist-supervised alternative to over-the-counter whitening strips

What's Included in Teen Take-Home Whitening

  • Custom-Fitted Whitening Trays: Molded from your teen's own teeth for even, comfortable coverage.
  • Take-Home Whitening Solution: A professional whitening kit sized and packaged for your teen's at-home use.
  • Clear Instructions: Simple guidance on how long to wear the trays and how often, so your teen can whiten safely on their own schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my teen has cavities or other dental issues?

We'll address those first. Whitening works best on healthy teeth, so any needed treatment comes before a whitening plan.

Will results last?

How long results last depends on your teen's diet and habits, like drinking coffee, tea, or dark sodas. We can go over what to expect for their specific case.

Does insurance cover teen whitening?

Whitening is a cosmetic treatment, so it typically isn't covered by insurance. Our team can talk through pricing during your teen's consultation.

How is this different from whitening strips from the store?

Custom trays fit your teen's teeth exactly, so the whitening solution covers every tooth evenly and stays off the gums. Store-bought strips use a generic shape that can miss spots or irritate the gums, with no one checking whether your teen's teeth are ready for it in the first place.

Can my teen whiten if they have braces?

Whitening is typically done before braces go on or after they come off, since brackets cover part of the tooth. Ask us about timing if your teen is currently in orthodontic treatment.

Will whitening hurt or make my teen's teeth sensitive?

Some patients notice mild, temporary sensitivity. Because the program is supervised, we can help your teen manage it and adjust their routine if needed.

How long does it take to see results?

Results vary by patient and how consistently the trays are worn. We'll walk you through a realistic timeline during your teen's consultation.

How do I know if my teenager is mature enough to handle an at-home routine?

Take-home whitening asks your teen to follow a simple daily routine for a set period of time, similar to wearing a retainer. If they're already responsible about something like that, they're likely ready. We're happy to walk through exactly what the routine looks like at the consultation, so you and your teen can decide together.

Is take-home whitening safe for a teenager's still-developing teeth?

Yes, when it's supervised by a dentist. We confirm your teen's teeth and gums are healthy first, use a solution appropriate for a teen patient, and give clear instructions on how long and how often to wear the trays, which helps avoid unnecessary sensitivity.

At what age can a teen start take-home whitening?

This depends on how many permanent teeth your teen has and their overall dental health, more than a specific birthday. We'll confirm whether they're a good candidate during their consultation.
