Santa Cruz County
For over 20 years, Santa Cruz Pediatric Dentistry has offered a gentle approach to working with kids.
Dr. Brent J. Porter and Team feel that all children deserve a positive dental experience. For the most effective approach to preventative care, our philosophy is "first tooth or first birthday" for a child's very first dental visit. This gives our team an opportunity to aid parents in proper instructions of oral hygiene. It can be challenging to clean those little teeth in such a small mouth! Not only does this early appointment provide a standard of care for your child, but it also allows us to create a healthy and positive experience for them in the dental chair.
Our office is expressly dedicated to protecting the dental health of children through education. The décor of the office, along with our friendly team is energetic and positive. A delicate and preventative approach to children's dentistry offers a great start towards a healthy cavity free smile. As our older patient's mouths mature, we are proponents of cost effective preventative orthodontic treatment. When early crowding pushes the teeth off the jaw, the ALF appliance can develop the arch, thus preventing the need for extractions and in some cases, braces. We would like to invite your child in for an initial orthodontic consultation with Dr. Porter if early crowding is a concern. This consultation is always complimentary.
Dr. Porter's office specializes in infants through teens and offers the following:
