About Commerce Park Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics
Sensory-sensitive and special needs kids, including toddlers as young as one or two, get calm, patient handling here rather than being rushed through appointments.
Reviews of Commerce Park Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics return again and again to how the team manages anxious, sensory-sensitive, and special needs children, calming them before and during procedures rather than pushing through quickly. Families mention a school outreach program meant to make dental visits feel less intimidating, along with prizes, stickers, and an outdoor-themed decor that keeps kids engaged. Dr. Mary Ritter and Dr. Jessica Corriel are both praised for resolving complicated orthodontic and dental issues over the course of treatment, and several reviewers note straighter smiles after braces or Invisalign.

Awesome staff. My daughter and our family had a great experience with Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics! When my daughter got her braces off the staff gave her the "red carpet treatment" as she left....really touching. They've been great on follow- ups since then too!

From the front desk checking in and the overall experience is so welcoming and fun. Each one of you are exceptional and amazing. I never thought I would ever say that I enjoy going to the Dentist! No, I’m not the one that is in the chair, but if my daughter enjoys the experience then why wouldn’t mom? Thank you so much for making the experience more than just a job! Baby girl is feeling a little pain from getting her braces but it was still a fun day at the dentist for us. Thank you all so much!
