Growing Smiles Pediatric & Adolescent Dentistry

Growing Smiles Pediatric & adolescent dentistry is a dedicated dental clinic with a mission to provide optimal oral health care for infants, children, adolescents, and individuals with special healthcare needs. The practice has two convenient locations in the Northtowns of Buffalo, NY, including the East Amherst office at 6501 Transit Rd, East Amherst, NY 14051, and a second location in Williamsville. The clinic is staffed by a team of highly-trained and board-certified pediatric dentists, including Dr. Amanda "Amy" Cryan, Dr. Adam Ungaro, and Dr. Helen-Dusel. Their expertise, combined with a focus on continuing education, ensures that patients receive the latest and most complete dental care. Growing Smiles is particularly committed to creating a compassionate and relaxing environment where children and parents feel comfortable. They aim to teach both parents and children an appreciation for complete dentistry, which includes preventive measures, treatment of dental diseases, and assisting in craniofacial development. Services offered at Growing Smiles are comprehensive and tailored for young patients. These include early detection and treatment of decay, fluoride treatments, sealants, digital X-rays to reduce radiation exposure, and advanced options like Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) to halt cavity progression. For more extensive needs, they provide crowns, pediatric nerve treatments, and space maintainers. The practice is also equipped to handle patients with special healthcare needs, and for more complex treatments, they can perform procedures under general anesthesia at Oishei Children's Hospital. Their commitment to making dental visits a positive experience is reflected in their use of child-friendly amenities, such as a therapy dog and a welcoming office design. The clinic also has a strong focus on patient education, providing resources on topics like proper oral hygiene, the effects of diet on teeth, and the importance of mouthguards.
