Perry L Jeffries DDS & Associates PA

Our Mission

At Perry L. Jeffries, DDS and Associates, PA, we are dedicated to providing gentle, compassionate, and comprehensive dental care specifically tailored to the unique needs of our younger patients. We understand that a child's first dental experiences shape their perspective on oral health for a lifetime. Our aim is to create a positive and welcoming environment where children feel comfortable and safe, fostering a lifelong love of dental care.

We believe that establishing healthy dental habits early on is crucial for a child's overall well-being. Therefore, we prioritize preventative care, focusing on education and prevention as our primary tools. We encourage parents to actively participate in their child's dental journey, explaining procedures in simple terms and addressing any concerns they may have.

Services Offered

Perry L. Jeffries, DDS and Associates, PA offers a comprehensive range of pediatric dental services designed to meet the evolving needs of children of all ages. Our services include:

• Pediatric Dental Exams: Our meticulous exams involve a thorough assessment of your child's oral health, identifying any potential issues early on and providing personalized recommendations for care.
• Fluoride Varnish: Fluoride is a vital mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and protects against cavities. We apply fluoride varnish to provide an extra layer of protection, especially for children who are more susceptible to decay.
• Fillings: When decay occurs, we utilize tooth-colored fillings to restore the affected tooth and prevent further damage. We carefully tailor our approach to ensure your child feels comfortable and reassured throughout the process.
• Stainless Steel Crowns: In cases where a tooth is significantly weakened or damaged, we may recommend stainless steel crowns to provide a durable and protective covering. These crowns are strong and long-lasting, safeguarding your child's tooth until it is fully developed.
• Pulpotomies: Pulpotomies involve removing the infected or diseased pulp of a tooth while preserving the tooth structure. This procedure is often used for baby teeth that are too large for fillings.
• Extractions: In certain situations, extractions may be necessary to remove a severely damaged or impacted tooth. We perform extractions with the utmost care and attention, ensuring your child's comfort and safety.
• Space Maintainers: Space maintainers are devices used to hold the space for permanent teeth that have been lost prematurely. They prevent other teeth from shifting and ensure a proper alignment for the incoming permanent teeth.
• Emergencies: We understand that dental emergencies can arise unexpectedly. Our team is dedicated to providing prompt and compassionate care for any urgent dental situations.

Digital X-rays & Sedation Dentistry

We utilize the latest technology, including digital x-rays, to provide accurate and safe imaging of your child's teeth and jaws. Digital x-rays offer a faster, more efficient way to capture images, minimizing exposure to radiation.

We also offer sedation dentistry options to help children who experience anxiety or fear during dental procedures. Our trained professionals will work closely with you to select the appropriate sedation method for your child's needs, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience.

More Than Just Dentistry

We strive to go beyond providing just dental care; we aim to establish lasting relationships with our patients and their families. We believe that open communication and understanding are key to building trust and creating a positive dental experience for every child.
