100% satisfied with how they worked with my 1 and 3 yr old boys. First vist and it went great. They have them take breaks between if need to to feel comfortable again.
I would recommend them over a regular dentist for children.

Took my 3 year old son for his first visit today. Overall I really liked the place and the atmosphere. The assistants were great with myself and son but the only down fall was having a toddler wait around an hour to be seen. He did play with the toys and I got him to watch the movie. We arrived 15 mins early as instructed to fill out the paper work but were not taken to the back until 145p when our appt was for 1p. I even made arrangements to come to an earlier appt because i received a text the morning of that said they had a cancellation before my original appt at 130p No one acknowledged that they were running behind which pushed into my son's nap time in which he was very cranky by the time he was seen. They did best they could but I don't believe they did everything they wanted. I was also told to schedule around nap time next time but for the first visit the availability was very limited and I took what i could get since I was told the next opening wasn't until the end of summer. We will be back in 6 months.

My toddler is autistic and this was his first time seeing a dentist so I was very nervous for how his appointment would go. They were extremely accommodating, understanding, and patient with us. A great environment, amazing staff, and an all around pleasant experience.

Positives: Beautiful building and kids do like the atmosphere with the TVs and toys. Contracted anesthesiologist (Dr. Dincher) had excellent bedside manner.

Negatives: Main dentist is very pushy and puts off a strong "I know more than you" vibe. We had multiple incidents of unpleasant interactions with him as well as with one particular office staff member. Didn't love the no parents "back there" policy. Major (and expensive) procedures along with general anesthesia are recommended too casually for my liking.

Debated on posting this less than flattering review, but felt it's important to let others know that they're not alone if they've had similar experiences and concerns. I will add that our experiences were 2-3 years ago (currently 2022), so perhaps things have improved. We no longer visit this office.

While it is challenging and a lengthy wait to get into some of the other pediatric dental offices in the area, in our case, at least, it's been well worth it.

Took my baby boy in for his very first check up and was 15 minutes late!! I used GOOGLE MAPS to get me there from Williamsport and when I turned to Hospital Rd the GPS told me to make another right at the next street but that's not correct. Keep going another 100 ft and it's right there on the right, parking out on the side and more on the back.

Walked in with my Gunner and what a nice clean modern building with toys for the young ones! I checked in with the very nice young woman at the front and she made me feel at ease about everything after I explained what happened! I was expecting to reschedule and a scolding but got the opposite! She took our information and was very informative about everything.

Once checked in we waited not even 5 minutes and a Hygienest named Tess. She was amazing! Great small talk and made my baby boy feel at ease! Explained everything easily and clearly. Showed me me what to look for and gave me some tips I didn’t think about! Very impressed!

Then then the main show started and Doc Jay came up and checked my son out. What a great guy!! He examined my son and and showed me everything he was looking for and was very transparent. I knew my son was in great hands. I asked a couple questions and Doc Jay bestowed upon me some little known knowledge to pass onto my mother in law haha. You'll be at ease when you see and meet him. The exam room is REALLY OPEN and extremely comfortable even for adults! nice and bright. Plenty of room for you to sit with your child.

Overall, EXTREMELY satisfied with this Dentistry. I would highly recommend going here for your pediatric dental needs. I drove from Williamsport and it wasn't so bad coming down. Oh! If it's your first time visiting REQUEST the first time patient packet to fill out PRIOR TO YOUR FIRST VISIT. It will save you so much time. My wife requested and got it printed out and filled out and all I had to do was hand it in and BAM!

Dr. Jay, Dr. Ali, and the entire staff here are absolutely wonderful! My children actually like going to the dentist. The waiting room is even comfortable and no one seems nervous. I am confident that my kids are getting the best care for their teeth. I would highly recommend Pediatric Dentistry of Lewisburg to all of my friends and family.

This dental practice is everything I hoped it would be.Our little girl has a cavity and her tooth broke as a result. She is 6 and it is a tooth that she will have until she is 12 so it is important to keep it in place if possible.

Our regular dentist would have done something, he called it a "kid root canal" but I was hesitant as my older son had the same procedure done and, at the time, the dentist thought that kids were more traumatized by a shot of Novocaine than they would be by the pain of having the procedure done without it.

Well. that dentist totally messed up and after the Novocaine that he eventually had to use wore off , my son started screaming because of the pain and didn't stop until I rushed him to another dentist to fix the bad job.

I didn't want a repeat of that nightmare and looked up pediatric dentists and found Pediatric Dentistry of Lewisburg. We had our initial exam yesterday and I think the staff is super dedicated to making children have a positive experience at the dentist no matter what procedure they are having.

The doctor has the newest equipment at his disposal to image teeth and explain what is there to you. He takes the time to show you everything and explain what needs immediate attention and what may need to be addressed in the future.

I really like the fact that they have nitrous to help the children relax for the Novocaine shot and during the procedure. I think that this will help children develop a positive picture of visiting the dentist. This will benefit them their entire lives.

Yes, they only directly bill Blue Cross and Delta Dental but you can use any insurance you want, you just have to submit the claim yourself. Yes, using a facility like this one may be more expensive than going to a dentist who only uses Novocaine (or nothing at all) when treating children's teeth but I think that those kids will not develop a positive view and will probably end up not wanting to visit the dentist and having bad teeth as a result.

I am a former staff member who can tell you that this place is top notch!! Staff here are respectful of all people from different backgrounds and will make sure they teach you the most they can about caring for your child's teeth so that the care doesn't stop in the office. Children are treated like friends and made to feel comfortable during simple visits like dental cleanings, and difficult procedures alike. Child friendly terms are used, such as "wiggling" a tooth out vs. "extracting". My 8yo with anxiety and hyperactivity is able to watch TV, snuggle a blanket and relax while her teeth are sealed, cleaned .etc! The new, state of the art office is beautiful and clean.
