Providing a broad spectrum of services to ensure a winning smile.

The Duke Children’s Dentistry program provides a broad spectrum of services from routine dental care to complex restorations.

We also offer pediatric dentistry for patients with complex medical problems, including dental health screening for patients prior to transplant, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, management of patients at risk for sub-acute bacterial endocarditis, and management of patients with bleeding disorders.

Dental procedures are performed in a state-of-the-art, child-friendly office. Consultations with a variety of medical and surgical specialties are readily available within Duke Children’s.
