We took my 3 y.o. daughter here for her first dental visit and I will be honest, I was nervous for her as I have a fear of going to the dentist and I didn't want to project that on her. She did so amazing and they were wonderful with her. Everyone was so kind and they took their time with her visit, explained what they were doing before they did it to her and answered any and all questions that we had. She had such a great first experience that she has since asked if she can go back to the dentist office at least once a week! Highly recommend Expedition Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics and Dr. Hayter and their dentistry team!

I was referred to Expedition by my dental hygienist since my daughter needed quite a bit of work done in her mouth. She reassured me that they would be understanding and wouldn't try and "shame" me as a parent for it. She was right! My daughter has had a wonderful experience each visit and is actually really excited to go to her dental appointments now! The doctors and staff are so kind and welcoming, listen to you, and you can tell that they truly care about each kiddo that sits in their chair. The atmosphere is geared towards children, and my daughter really loves the games in the lobby and the prizes they give at the end of the appointment! We couldn't be happier with our decision on going with Expedition and cannot recommend them enough!

We initially came Expedition Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics when we needed a second opinion for some dental work that our daughter needed done. They understood our concerns and helped us to feel comfortable with the treatment plan. We have continued to bring all of our kids to them. Our youngest recently had his first visit, and it went even better than expected.

It was my daughter’s first trip to the dentist ever and I am so glad we chose Expedition! The office was super kid friendly, the staff was so kind and welcoming, and everything was explained in great detail before being done! Both the hygienist and dentist went above and beyond to make sure my girl felt comfortable! Can’t recommend this place enough!

For pediatric dentistry, you can’t go wrong here. Expedition seems to be designed with young children in mind. Their staff are excellent with children, patient (a vital skill when kids are crying or fighting through their examination), and respectful of parental choice. That last part is the most important to me. Often, care providers will just talk (or demand, or threaten) parents into what they think a parent should do, without fully explaining options or alternatives. I’ve never received that from Expedition staff. Every single option has been explained to me and if I’ve asked for alternatives, they’ve been fully explained. Anything we have chosen or avoided for our children has been clearly marked in their files and respected. If your child is in need of a pediatric dentist, I cannot recommend them enough.
