Where Little Smiles Thrive

What Makes Us Different

At Grin & Little, we do pediatric dentistry differently. We’ve cultivated a warm, welcoming, and fun environment that will put your little one at ease, even if it’s their first visit to the dentist. We strive to make each dental visit educational and leave our patients excited to come back.

Kid-Friendly Atmosphere

 Our office is designed with your child in mind. Because first impressions are so vital in pediatric dentistry, we’ve minimized all uncomfortable lights, smells, and sounds, and replaced them with kid-friendly amenities. We can guarantee that your child will leave our doors excited for their next visit to Grin & Little! 

Truly Tailored Care

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to pediatric dentistry. At Grin & Little, we're committed to meeting your child's unique needs. We believe in building trust with your child to facilitate positive dental experiences.

Minimally Invasive Approach

We take a conservative approach to care so that both you and your child can feel comfortable with their treatment plan. Young smiles are fragile, and we take great care to only do what helps them thrive. 

Board-Certified

Dr. Lucy is a board certified pediatric dentist, which means she has undergone extensive education and training (2-3 years on top of dental school!) in order to provide your little one with the best care possible.

Dr. Lucy has been taking care of my three kids' teeth forever. There is never any blame, shame or pain. It's a great experience for my kids who associate dentist visits with friendly, funny respectful grown ups. We have had all manner of procedures. Never any complaints from my kids.

Patient

We rest easy knowing our little one has a great time visiting the staff and dr Lucy. Sheloves brushing her teeth because she never has a bad time coming to the dentist.

Patient

Great service by Dr. Lucy DDS. Our first born had a dentist that wasn’t patient or a Kid Dentist and was terrified of getting any dental work done. Dr. Lucy is so welcoming and kid friendly that now, he is comfortable going to the dentist. Thank you!!

Patient

Dr. Lucy and the entire staff are amazing. Not only are they great dentists, but they make both children and parents feel comfortable and put them at ease. I highly recommend this practice for all pediatric dental needs.

Patient

My experience with Dr. Lucy was amazing. She responded to my emergency call right away! She took matters into her own hands and my daughter got better as soon as she was done with the antibiotics she prescriber her. I’m forever grateful!
