BEST DENTIST FOR KIDS
Expert pediatric dentistry services in Wisconsin
Preventative care
Keeping your child’s smile healthy starts early. Our gentle check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and personalized guidance help prevent problems before they start, ensuring your child maintains a happy, healthy smile for life.
Restorative care
We know cavities and toothaches can happen - even with good habits. Our compassionate team offers kid-friendly treatments like fillings, crowns, and extractions, making sure your little one stays comfortable and relaxed throughout.
Dental emergencies
Accidents happen - especially with active kids! If your child experiences sudden tooth pain, a chipped tooth, or another urgent issue, we’re here to help quickly and provide immediate care to ease discomfort and restore smiles.
Gentle pediatric dental care
We offer a full range of pediatric dental services tailored specifically for children. Our experienced team provides gentle, kid-friendly care that helps keep your child's smile healthy, bright, and strong - making every dental visit comfortable and stress-free.
Dental cleaning
Regular cleanings keep your child's smile sparkling and healthy. Our gentle hygienists remove plaque, provide polishing, and help your child build good habits for lifelong oral health.
Sealants
Give your child's teeth extra protection against cavities. Sealants are a quick and painless coating we apply to help keep the surfaces of your smile.
Fluoride treatment
Strengthen your child's teeth and prevent cavities with our quick fluoride treatments. It's a simple, effective way to give young smiles extra protection between visits.
Fillings
Cavities happen, but our gentle fillings make treating them a breeze. We carefully remove decay and provide multiple restorative filling options so your child leaves with a healthy smile.
Crowns
Protect and strengthen damaged teeth with kid-friendly dental crowns. Our crowns restore your child's teeth comfortably and safely, helping prevent further issues down the road.
Bonding
Easily repair chips, cracks, or minor cosmetic imperfections with our gentle bonding treatments. Quick and comfortable, bonding helps your child smile with confidence again.
A dental experience designed for kids
At First Impressions, every aspect of our dental experience is meticulously designed with your child in mind.
Here’s how we ensure a memorable and comfortable visit for your little ones:
Engaging environment
We’ve created a space that kids love coming to! Every detail was put in place to help kids feel in their element and look forward to their dental visits.
Personalized comfort choices
Let your child tailor each visit with cozy amenities they’ll love - from picking a toothpaste flavor to choosing their favorite TV show and chairside comforts.
Kid-friendly equipment and tools
Our dental chairs are specifically designed for children, so they feel comfortable at every appointment. We use specialized dental instruments tailored to fit small mouths, making procedures as gentle and non-intimidating as possible.
Child-centric products
From picking fluoride flavors off our menu, to choosing which character toothbrush you get to bring home, every product we select is chosen for its appeal and effectiveness for children, so you can rest assured they are getting the best care - tailored to them.
We get it, it's different... Trust us, it's better!
Building independence with each visit
At First Impressions, we use dental visits to build a foundation for lifelong confidence. Understanding the unique dynamics of working with kids, we encourage your child to leave grown-ups in the lobby and come back for their dental visit independently. Surrounded by their peers in an open exam room, children relax and engage more actively in their care, leading to more focused and effective appointments.
Is your child nervous about their dental visit?
Not to worry, our highly qualified pediatric dentists, hygienists, and assistants are not only experts in dental care but also in talking to children on their level making every child feel at ease. Through our "tell, show, do" technique, we build trust and engage your child, making sure they understand each step. This method, coupled with our team's specialized training in child psychology and behavior, ensures that children are more relaxed, comfortable, and receptive to treatment. At every dental visit, we educate your child about how to care for their teeth and answer their questions, building healthy habits from the start and into adulthood.
Are you the one who is nervous? Wondering what's "in the back?"
A complete team of pediatric dental professionals
Our practice is home to a dedicated, multidisciplinary team of pediatric dentists, orthodontists, dental hygienists, assistants, and business staff, all working together to ensure every visit is a seamless and enjoyable experience for you and your kiddo.
A continuum of care
This team approach not only enhances the quality of care but also ensures continuity - we are always ready to serve your family even if an individual team member is unavailable.
Dental patient advocate
Our DPA's are available to help you navigate your unique account and treatment plan options, guiding you through the ever-changing landscape of healthcare plans. We will walk you through your insurance verification processes if needed, as well as provide projected financial estimates and payment solution options to ensure that you feel empowered and confident.
Built-in second opinion - no referral necessary
Unlike a single-dentist practice, our diverse team brings a wealth of collective experience and perspectives, enabling us to address a wide range of dental needs and challenges - all under one roof. With more than one pediatric specialist available in the office, we have the invaluable benefit of immediate peer reviews and consultations. This ensures your child's care plan is backed by multiple expert opinions, without the need to visit multiple offices and waiting to get on their packed schedules.
Seamless coordination
With dedicated staff for every need - from Patient Advocates coordinating insurance, to Treatment Coordinators, we are dedicated to making dental care as hassle-free as possible for your family.
OR coordinator
If your child's treatment plan includes care to be completed within an OR setting, we provide you with an OR Coordinator who will manage all scheduling and communications directly with your local doctor's office/hospital on your behalf, working with both their schedule and yours to provide a seamless care solution.
Enjoy the break
While we work on your child’s smile, relax in our comfortable waiting area, plug in your device and feel free to zone out, scroll social media, chat with a friend, or (finally!) get some work done. This is "you" time, to enjoy however you'd like.
Attentive care every step of the way
At First Impressions, we understand that whether a dental visit is a milestone event or a routine check-up, it’s another item on your already busy schedule. We want to make it as easy as possible! From the moment you book an appointment, we take care of all the details:
Appointment reminders
Life gets busy! We’ll send you a reminder before your appointment and text or email a link to any forms you may need to fill out, making your office visit more efficient.
Pre-appointment check-ins
We’ll meet you in the waiting room and touch base about your child's current health and mood. We'll share what's planned for the day, so you and your little one know what to expect.
Post-appointment updates
After the visit, we'll let you know what services we performed, how your child handled the visit, and any recommendations. If we perform a procedure, we’ll send home care instructions.
Paperwork for school
If your visit is during school hours, we’ll give you a note for school along with a reminder of your next appointment. Just one less thing for you to worry about.
Did you miss a cleaning?
No worries - life happens! Give us a call to easily reschedule and keep your child’s smile on track. Request an appointment today!
Are you wondering if your baby is ready for their first appointment?

We love to make parents smile, too!
By building a relationship of mutual trust, we are able to support parents at every stage of their child’s smile journey.
"My little one has autism and the dentist can be a scary place for him but the staff went above and beyond to make him and I feel comfortable. He even felt comfortable enough to go back with them alone to get X-rays. I would highly recommend this office!"
Sarah K.
"They do such a great job making sure the kids have a great experience! My daughter had two teeth pulled and was very scared. The hygienist and dentist were great with her and made sure she understood what was happening and made her comfortable!"
Elizabeth H.
