About Dermody Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

Handling toddlers, teens, and children with autism or sensory sensitivities with a slow, patient pace is a particular strength here, with Dr. Rachel and Dr. Chris frequently named for gentle care.

This is a pediatric dental practice that also offers traditional braces for orthodontic patients. Families managing anxious or special-needs children describe staff who slow down exams, use distraction techniques, and in one case let a parent stay in the room during a procedure. The practice also sees a notable number of patients transferring mid-treatment and children starting early phase-one treatment. Several reviews mention long-term relationships, with siblings or even grandchildren returning for braces over the years.

Amazing people. We were first time patient, new appointment for my ten year old Who is absolutely petrified and traumatized by dentist but she had an incredible experience here, very nice people. Made my daughter feel extremely welcome and very comfortable. Very informative and knowledgeable. Just overall made the experience very smooth for her.. We’ve been through a lot so just for this experience to go smoothly in a very difficult time for us made such a difference they wouldn’t even realize . I appreciate the service

Absolutely amazed with Dermody Pediatric. I’m new to the area, and have been procrastinating taking my 3yr old to his first dental appointment, jumped on google to find the closest highest rated and wow the reviews didn’t disappoint. Everyone there was born to work with children, so sweet, kind, SLOW down to my 3yr olds speed and level. The office is just beautiful, from the moment you walk in there are a few thought provoking toys and puzzles for littles, everything is so clean, it doesn’t even smell like a dental office, name tags for kids, they truly thought of everything! My son had the best first experience!

I can’t say enough good things about this office. I have worked in dental for the last 17 years so finding an office I trusted with my babies was super important for me. Everyone from the phone calls to doctor Rachel is amazing. They are all very patient with little kids. Highly recommend this team to anyone and yes I believe kids should be seen at a pediatric dental office.
