Metropolitan Pediatric Dental Associates: North Oaks

Metropolitan Pediatric Dental Associates: North Oaks is a highly regarded pediatric dental clinic located at 700 Village Center Dr, North Oaks, MN 55127. As part of a larger practice with multiple locations in the Twin Cities, this office specializes exclusively in the oral health of children, from infants (starting around 6 months) up to teenagers (around 19 years old). The clinic prides itself on providing comprehensive and compassionate dental care, with a strong emphasis on prevention, education, and creating a positive experience for every child. Their services include a wide range of pediatric dental treatments such as infant exams to monitor growth and assess oral health risks, routine preventive care like cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants, and restorative care for damaged teeth (fillings, crowns, bridges). They also offer orthodontic evaluations and limited orthodontic care in-house. What sets Metropolitan Pediatric Dental Associates apart is their child-centered approach. Their team consists of board-certified pediatric dentists who have undergone extensive specialized training beyond general dental school to understand and manage the unique dental needs and behaviors of children. The North Oaks office, like their other locations, is designed to be kid-friendly, featuring comfortable waiting rooms, open bay treatment areas, and child-friendly décor, often including prizes for kids after their visits. They employ techniques like "Tell-Show-Do" and positive reinforcement to help alleviate any anxieties children might have, and are experienced in treating children with special needs. For extensive treatments or highly anxious patients, they offer hospital dentistry where procedures can be completed while the child is asleep. Established in 1965, Metropolitan Pediatric Dental Associates has a long-standing commitment to the community, aiming to provide quality and compassionate dental care to all children.
