Services
Our mission is to empower children to have a positive dental experience. Our fun office and expertise help keep patients calm and to develop healthy attitudes toward oral health.
Cleaning
Regular cleanings are essential to your child’s oral health. Cleanings take about 30 minutes. We remove plaque and tarter that damage tooth enamel and cause gum inflammation. We also polish the teeth so they look as white as possible. To help avoid decay, children should be seen every six months for cleanings.
Filling
When the surface of a tooth has been damaged through decay or wear, a filling can often fix it. To do this procedure a patient is sedated and a local anesthetic applied. The tooth is then prepared by removing the damaged parts, cleaning it, and then filling that area with adhesives and filling material to make it appear and feel as natural as possible.
Emergencies
If your child has chipped. cracked, or knocked out a tooth, getting into our office as soon as possible can often save the tooth, and prevent infection. If you’re unsure if it’s an emergency or have any questions, please call our office at 480-739-2993. Timely treatment can reduce the possibility of further dental complications.
Extractions
When a tooth has to be extracted due to decay, trauma or interference with a permanent tooth, Dr. Chaffee will gently remove the tooth. If needed, Dr. Chaffee can insert a spacer to give the emerging permanent tooth a good shot at coming in straight. Your child will need to eat a soft diet afterward.

Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist?
Pediatric dentists attend two years of dental school more than a general dentist. Their specialized training makes them experts in keeping anxious little patients comfortable through treatment. Dr. Chaffee is a board certified pediatric dentist, which means he voluntarily took post-doctoral training and examinations to demonstrate proficiency and excellence.
