What to Expect on Your First Visit

When kids visit our practice in Thornton, they will be greeted with a relaxing and open environment that looks nothing like the dentist offices of old.

Colorful chairs in the waiting room and a play area greet your child when they walk in. The goal is to make their visit to the dentist fun and enjoyable.

Once their appointment starts, you will notice that our practice has an open concept examination area so that kids never feel closed in. We provide a clean and relaxed atmosphere where parents can always be right beside their child during each stage of the visit.

It is worth explaining to your child that they will never be alone during their appointment at Jr. Smiles®. Parents always sit with their kids during the examination and are there by their side to ask any questions and to talk to the child while the dentist does their work.

Our examination area and cleaning area also feature screens above every chair that play licensed movies that your child can watch during their examination should they choose to. Our pediatric dentists will also explain to your child what they are doing at each step of the appointment so that they can follow along and learn as well.

Developing a familiarity and positive connection between your child and the dentist is a great way to make dental appointments enjoyable as your child grows.

This is why Jr. Smiles® never sends kids home empty handed. Each appointment always ends with a visit to our toy wall, where your child can pick out a free toy to bring home with them.

Our dentistry also welcomes kids in both English and Spanish.

Whether your child is excited about the Tooth Fairy or El Ratoncito Pérez, we can accommodate families in both languages.

Our facility was created in the spirit of making kids comfortable and creating an inviting atmosphere.

From open spaces and fun colors, to a gift area that sends each kid home with a smile on their face and a toy in their hand, Jr. Smiles® aims to make your child’s visit to the dentist an enjoyable experience. See for yourself by taking our virtual tour!
