Specializing in Pediatric Dentistry

What We Provide

Comfort

Our primary goal of Three Creeks Pediatric Dental Surgery Center is to be the best alternative for children who otherwise cannot be treated under traditional dental means or who require additional care.

Care

The type of care we provide is for children who:

  • Are pre-communicative or pre-cooperative
  • Have had a traumatic dental experience
  • Exhibit a high level of apprehension or anxiety
  • Have developmental disabilities
  • Have extensive dental needs

By using a variety of kid-friendly techniques, we approach dental surgery unlike anyone in the Vancouver area of Washington.

Safety

Anesthesia is led by a board-certified physician anesthesiologist from the Columbia Anesthesia Group. Recovery is supervised by a PALS-certified registered nurse who will provide one-on-one care in a fully functioning recovery room.


PALS certified doctors


The recovery room consists of the following equipment:

  • Hospital-Grade Air Filtration System
  • Backup Generator
  • Crash Cart
