Welcome to Stellar Smiles Pediatric Dentistry
At Stellar Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, we dedicate ourselves to providing effective preventive care and the highest quality specialized services. By using minimally invasive techniques and procedures, we create a comfortable atmosphere for our young patients. We tailor every visit to each individual child to ensure we are meeting their needs with compassion so they can feel confident and empowered during every dentist visit. Our therapy dog, Dogtor Piper, is also here to comfort anxious patients. At Stellar Smiles, we reach for the moon when it comes to out-of-this-world dental care!
With regular exams, check-ups, and cleanings, we can help your child avoid issues like cavities and teach them about good oral hygiene. We can also help prevent decay with services like fluoride treatments and dental sealants.
A tongue or lip tie can hinder teeth and jaw development, speech, and can cause difficulties when it comes to latching and breastfeeding. Our frenectomy procedures gently release tongue and lip ties so your little one is free to smile.
We love to keep our little patients smiling. That's why we offer a tooth-colored alternative to metal crowns. White zirconia crowns are strong, durable, and look just like a natural tooth so your child can smile with confidence.
Dr. Christopher Powell is passionate about establishing positive and lasting impressions during early childhood experiences to avoid the common feelings of fear and anxiety, which is why he is so dedicated to pediatric dentistry. With great professionalism, years of experience, and a compassionate touch, Dr. Chris and the rest of the Stellar Smiles crew work to make your child feel confident and comfortable to make the dentist office a place they want to return to time and time again.
Creating a positive experience for children during first time dental appointments can have a lasting impact on their dental health and overall attitude towards oral care. Regular six month visits, routine appointments, and focusing on preventive care will get your child comfortable with the process and ensure that any dental health issues are caught in their early stages. Our approach is to cater to the needs of each child, customizing their treatment to help decrease any dental anxieties, and increase their chances of being proactive throughout adulthood when it comes to establishing healthy dental habits.
As a member of West Michigan Therapy Dogs, Dr. Chris and his golden retriever Dogtor Piper visit libraries, schools, hospitals, and nursing homes to comfort people and reduce their stress. Dr. Chris also regularly volunteers at inner city schools reading books to children, providing basic science education, and occasionally speaking during career days to share the wonders of the world of dentistry.
