Detailed Introduction

Salt Lake Pediatric Dentistry is a specialized dental practice dedicated to providing comprehensive oral healthcare for infants, children, and adolescents. With multiple locations, including their Holladay office at 1548 E 4500 S STE 102, Salt Lake City, UT 84117, they serve the greater Salt Lake Valley area. The practice is built upon a philosophy of creating a positive and comfortable experience for every child. They understand that a child's early dental experiences can significantly influence their perception of dentistry throughout their lives. To achieve this, their team of experienced pediatric dentists, including Dr. David Gustafson and Dr. Jeffery K. Rupp, and their associates, employ a gentle and caring approach, combining advanced dental techniques with compassionate interaction. Many testimonials highlight their ability to put anxious children at ease, making visits enjoyable and even anticipated. Salt Lake Pediatric Dentistry offers a wide array of services tailored to the unique needs of growing smiles. These services include: Preventive Care: This is a cornerstone of their practice, encompassing routine dental cleanings, examinations, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to protect against cavities and promote good oral hygiene habits. They also offer night guards and sports mouth guards. Restorative Dentistry: For issues like cavities or dental trauma, they provide restorative procedures such as fillings and crowns. Emergency Pediatric Dentistry: They are equipped to handle dental emergencies, understanding the urgency and sensitivity required when a child is in pain. Sedation Dentistry: Recognizing that some children may experience anxiety or have special needs, they offer various sedation options, including oral sedation and IV sedation, to ensure a relaxed and stress-free visit. Special Needs Dentistry: They are trained and equipped to provide dental care for children with special health needs, adapting their approach to accommodate individual requirements. Frenectomy: A procedure to correct tongue-tie or lip-tie. The facilities at Salt Lake Pediatric Dentistry are designed with children in mind, often featuring bright, engaging themes (like an African safari theme mentioned in reviews), kid-friendly equipment, and amenities like ceiling-mounted TVs and headphones to enhance comfort and distraction during procedures. The staff is highly trained in behavior management techniques to help children feel safe and cooperative. Their commitment extends to educating both children and parents about the importance of oral health, empowering families to maintain healthy smiles. They emphasize personalized treatment plans, ensuring that each child receives care specifically suited to their individual needs and growth.

We had a wonderful experience! It was my son's first dental appointment (he is 2 1/2) and it was better than I could have imagined. The dental hygienist was great at explaining everything to my son and made sure he was comfortable with all of the equipment and procedures. Dr.

Dave was our dentist and my son happily laid in the dental chair and opened wide. The promise of a prize at the end of the visit may have had something to do with this excellent behavior but it worked so it was a win! We will be back and recommend taking your kiddos here also.

We recently visited Salt Lake Pediatric Dentistry - Holladay location for our son’s dental care, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. Dr. Rupp and his team are truly exceptional. We came in with a confusing issue with my son’s tooth, and while it eventually led to an extraction, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, Dr.

Rupp took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we felt confident in the next steps. The entire team was kind, patient, and so supportive, especially with my son, who felt calm and cared for throughout the whole process. The extraction itself went smoothly, and his recovery was quick and easy. We’re so thankful to have found such a skilled and compassionate dentist. Highly recommend!

This was my son’s first visit and I was so nervous on how he was going to react to being at the dentist for the first time since he is autistic and has a lot of sensory issues. The staff was so accommodating and so kind and so sweet to him. He was able to get his teeth cleaned and they were able to take pictures and he was able to do everything with no problems at all. They were so gentle and sweet with him that he actually enjoyed his trip to the dentist. When we left, I asked him if he had fun and he said yes.

Thank you so much for being so wonderful with my kid today!! Update: he went in for his second visit today where he had to have anesthesia get a lot of work done and I was very nervous about it. They were once again amazing and wonderful and so accommodating. He’s at home resting up right now.
