About Lahair & Gallagher Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, LLC

Autistic and special-needs children get particular attention here, with staff working through multiple visits to ease anxiety before treatment, including braces.

This pediatric dentistry and orthodontics practice offers braces, Invisalign, clear aligners and retainers alongside general dental care, and reviews describe both handled with notable patience for special-needs and anxious children. Parents mention Dr. Anna Ross, Dr. Matt, Dr. McGary and Dr. Paul Shamirian working calmly with nervous kids and tweens facing braces for the first time. Braces cases, including a two-year treatment for an autistic teen, are described as producing dramatic smile improvements, and several families report multiple children completing orthodontic treatment there with good results.

“

I’ve been going to this office for my regular cleanings with Dr. Gallagher since I was seven years old, so when I decided I wanted to get Invisalign, I was so excited to find out that they also offer orthodontic services! From my consultation to getting started, the entire process has been so easy. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We were able to talk through exactly how I want my teeth to look at the end of my Invisalign journey, and I feel so confident that we’re going to get the results we want! I also have to give a special shoutout to the admin girls—they are seriously the sweetest and so helpful. Everyone makes you feel so comfortable and like you’re more than just another patient. They’ve even asked about my wedding and remembered that I’m getting my teeth done for my wedding next year, which I thought was so sweet and personable. 🤍 I’m so happy to be back at an office I’ve trusted since I was a kid, and I can’t wait to see my Invisalign results!

The whole team was incredibly patient and kid friendly. Best dental experience ever honestly. They walked us through everything step by step in a way that was appropriate for my daughter to understand and not feel afraid. She left feeling confident and happy and even dare I say excited to go back! They have a Nintendo in the waiting room and kid friendly books. They also have a little prize machine for after the visit.
