About Kensington Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics
Phase-one braces and expander cases for very young or anxious children get a neuro-affirming, patience-first approach from Dr. Jenna Mcdonald and colleagues.
This is a pediatric dental practice that also provides Invisalign, clear aligners, and early orthodontic treatment for young patients. Braces and early-phase orthodontic cases come up often in reviews, including multi-year journeys that start as early as toddlerhood and extend into the teen years. Reviews also describe a neuro-affirming, sensory-aware approach for children with special needs, and an office built around younger kids, with treasure chests, iPads, and rooms designed for even the youngest patients.

Best pediatric dentist and orthodontist! Not only is everyone simply amazing with kids - gentile, kind, and they offer all the kid bonuses like televisions and toys - but they are so honest and on top of accounting, communicative, and willing to help in any ways possible. I have been the most annoying parent when it comes to scheduling conflicts and somehow they always find a way to make it work - never seemingly bothered by the all the changes I am making. We are so grateful for them!
Kensington Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, along with their entire team, provides the highest quality care and service. Jackie, Cece, and everyone at the front desk made us feel welcome from the very beginning. Jackie explained everything every step of the way, with no hidden fees or surprises. She's a great person!! Their attention to detail is unmatched, and as a parent coming from an office where we had such an awful experience, that was priceless to me. Dr. Brenda Caillouel showed so much care and delivered excellent work throughout my daughter’s orthodontic procedure from start to finish. We couldn’t be happier or more satisfied. Dr. Tiffany’s work is just as excellent. She pays close attention during routine checkups and provides such helpful feedback. If you’re looking for a new dental office, you won’t go wrong with KPD. I highly recommend them, great staff and an excellent facility overall.
Amazing dentist for kids. They will meet you where you are and help your kids get comfortable going to the dentist. Janet is truly part magician, part hygienist! She is very neuro-affirming in her approach & willing to work with families so the have good experiences & kids get comfortable over time. We also love Dr. Jenna for all the same reasons! They have fish tanks in the waiting room, iPad stations, movies to help kids wait while being examined or getting teeth cleaned and they give prizes at the end. All around great place for kids. Prices are very reasonable with our Mutual of Omaha dental insurance!
We have had an excellent experience with Dr. Brittany. She has provided outstanding care for my son's teeth and has always been attentive to his specific orthodontic needs. Dr. Brittany takes the time to explain treatment options, answer questions, and make sure my son feels comfortable during each visit. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine concern for her patients are evident in every interaction. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and skilled orthodontist.
Janet and Mia did an amazing job with my 3-year-old and 1-year-old during their teeth cleaning appointments. They were both incredibly patient, kind, and made the entire experience fun and comfortable for the kids. They took the time to help each child feel safe and relaxed, which made such a difference as a parent. The office atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and you can tell they truly care about children and families. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend them!
