Capital Children's Dental Center

Capital Children's Dental Center is a specialized pediatric dental clinic located in Columbia, SC. The practice is dedicated to creating a positive, comfortable, and fun dental experience for children of all ages. Their mission is to promote lifelong oral health by providing excellent dental care and teaching the importance of good hygiene from an early age. The clinic's staff and environment are designed with children in mind to help ease any anxiety. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to the unique needs of young patients. This includes preventive and diagnostic care such as regular cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to protect against cavities. They also provide restorative services like fillings and, when necessary, root canal treatments for baby teeth to prevent premature loss. A key focus of Capital Children's Dental Center is on serving children who may be apprehensive, too young for traditional dental treatment, or have special healthcare needs. They offer various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety, and are equipped to provide dentistry under general anesthesia. This "sleep dentistry" is conducted in a licensed surgery center environment with a dedicated team of anesthesiologists and pediatric-trained nurses, ensuring a safe and controlled procedure. This approach eliminates the need for physical restraints and multiple visits, providing a less traumatic experience for both the child and parents. The center's commitment to patient safety and quality care is highlighted by its AAAHC accreditation. The practice emphasizes a partnership with parents, providing detailed instructions on proper oral hygiene, nutrition, and what to expect before and after procedures. They work with most private and state insurances and offer financing options to make healthcare accessible and affordable.
