Exceptional Care

Our dentists have clinical expertise in all aspects of pediatric dentistry including craniofacial anomalies, interceptive orthodontics, and dental trauma. Dedicated to providing the very best care, they employ innovative technologies such as the Solea Laser (allowing for anesthesia-free dentistry) and AI technology to further enhance clinical diagnosis.

Support the Whole Child

We understand that you and your child may feel nervous, fearful, or anxious about coming to the dentist. Our goal is to make the experience positive, comfortable, and fun, from check-in to check-out and every moment in between. Our warm and engaging environment, our welcoming staff, and our comfort dog, Buddy— will make you and your child feel right at home.

Fun & Educational

Every trip to Lamorinda Tooth Buds is an opportunity for your child to learn about caring for their own teeth. We’ll send them home with clean, cared-for teeth, and also the tools and knowledge to maintain their dental health on their own. We break it down to language and terms that kids can understand and remember.

Our Technology

The Solea Laser

The Solea Laser is a gamechanger for pediatric dentistry. Its silent laser technology replaces the noisy drill and is so gentle that most patients don’t even need anesthesia. Lamorinda Tooth Buds is proud to be among the first in the community to adopt this fantastic technology, making the dental experience that much easier for children.
