About Dentistry For Kids, Pediatric & Orthodontics
Dr. Kisha Mitchell and her team see a heavy volume of braces patients while also handling anxious kids and children with special needs during routine visits.
This is a pediatric dental practice that also provides orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, early treatment, and retainers. Reviews mention braces more than most pediatric offices, and several describe the convenience of having both general dentistry and orthodontics handled in one place without an outside referral. Parents of children with sensory sensitivities, past dental trauma, or special needs describe staff working through exams and procedures at the child's pace, and one review notes Dr. Mitchell coming in on a Saturday for an orthodontic emergency.

Fantastic Dentist! It’s difficult trying to find a dentist that your kids feel truly comfortable with. Especially, moving into a new area. My kids feel truly comfortable here and they did a wonderful job repairing my daughter’s composite tooth (old trauma tooth) Prices I feel are very reasonable and we will continue our care here.

I absolutely have to leave a review. I had such a positive, amazing, experience with my kiddo who is autistic. The staff was so kind and patient with my son who has serious dental sensitivities. I cried pure tears of joy with how patient and caring they were.

Always a great experience and this time we had the pleasure of meeting the new doctor, Dr Kennedy who was extremely sweet. Miranda and Emily took care of our kids with such amazing care and made them both feel cared for.

My son cracked a bracket over the weekend and I assumed we’d be waiting days for help. They called us back within an hour Monday morning and squeezed him into an early slot before school. The orthodontist stayed patient even though my kid was complaining the whole time. What stood out most was how they explained how to avoid the same problem again instead of making us feel careless. Very professional but still approachable.
