Safety for Patients
Providing a safe environment, comfortable atmosphere, and fun experience is our number one priority for each patient. The Covid-19 pandemic has reshaped how we think about healthcare, which is why our office has taken extra precautionary measures to ensure that our families are safe during each visit. To provide the safest environment we have implemented air purifiers, sneeze guards, electronic check-in processes, low aerosol protocols and much more into our office. For more information regarding our safety measures and new protocols visit our news page.
Dental Health Education
We are passionate about going above and beyond in order to teach kids engaging ways on how to maintain a healthy smile! Incorporating dental education into our visits helps to improve a child’s oral health after they leave the office.

Advance Parent Reviews
I took my daughter to Advance Pediatric Dentistry for her first ever dentist appointment. I was so nervous because I thought the whole experience would be awful with a toddler. I was completely wrong! The entire staff at Afton was amazing! They took such great care of my daughter and made her feel very comfortable! The staff was very sweet and comforting. We got through the whole appointment without a single tear and a toy monkey! I 100% recommend Advance!

This was our first time at Advance. My 6yr needed an extraction. The dentist did such a great job. The next day he was playing like normal no pain no swelling, no soreness! The staff and dental assistants are equally as knowledgeable AND kind. They explained their treatment plan and costs. I just can’t say enough good things about them! WE WILL ABSOLUTELY be going back with my 3-year-old! If I could give 10 stars I would !!!
