About Lubbock Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

Dr. Gigi is repeatedly credited with calming anxious kids while same-day extractions and crowns keep visits on schedule.

Lubbock Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics is a pediatric dental practice that also offers orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, clear aligners, and early treatment. Reviews often mention patients transferring in mid-treatment and note that visits tend to start and end on schedule, with some procedures like extractions completed the same day. Several reviews describe staff working carefully with autistic and special-needs children, using gradual steps and comfort items like weighted stuffed animals to ease anxiety, and Dr. Gigi is repeatedly mentioned for calming nervous kids and explaining each step.

Summary of 200 patient reviews, February 2025–September 2026, updated September 2026

Lubbock Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics provides orthodontic care in Lubbock, TX, for children, teens, and adults.

Dr. Mike Caden Ross, a board-certified orthodontist with the American Board of Orthodontics, leads the practice's orthodontic services. The practice offers Invisalign treatment and early orthodontic intervention for younger patients. Dr. Ross holds Diamond Plus Provider status with Invisalign, a designation reflecting significant clinical experience with the clear aligner system. Early treatment focuses on addressing developmental issues in growing patients before permanent teeth fully emerge. The practice operates in both English and Spanish to serve the local community. New patients can access online booking for appointments, and free consultations are available for those considering orthodontic treatment. Lubbock Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics serves families throughout the Lubbock area. Individual treatment planning depends on clinical examination, diagnostic records, and each patient's specific orthodontic needs.

General check up was very good. The receptionist assisted us with the new online system and the dental assistant was very good wth our three year old daughter. The dentist was very children friendly.

It was my son’s very first dentist appointment. They have the rooms set up where there are half walls between each chair so you can hear and see everything that is going on in the entire office. Beside us was a kid getting his teeth pulled. He kept telling the Dentist that he was still in pain as they were pulling the first tooth. The kid was screaming, crying, and started dry heaving in the middle of it. The dentist continued and told him he was almost done. In my honest opinion, I think he should have stopped The second, he said he was in pain. And the fact that every single patient And parent can also hear that… Terrible. On top of that, the dentist did his checkup, didn’t have anything to say and just said it looks good. I was having to ask probing questions to explain what he was doing and what was being put on my child’s teeth. Needless to say, we will not be back

If I could give 100⭐️ I definitely would! We had a wonderful experience at Lubbock Pediatric Dentistry and Oral Surgery! Lupita, our hygienist, was absolutely amazing. She was so gentle, patient, and kind, and she made my children feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire visit. Dr. Eric was just as wonderful. He was friendly, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The entire staff was welcoming and made us feel like we were in great hands from start to finish. I highly recommend Lubbock Pediatric Dentistry and Oral Surgery to anyone looking for exceptional pediatric dental care. Thank you, Lupita, Dr. Eric, and the entire team for providing such a positive 5-star experience!
