Why Dentistry for Children?
If you are looking for the best family-friendly dentistry in Vancouver, WA and the surrounding area then Dentistry for Children is the right place for you! Have you ever seen a child look forward to visiting their dentist? We see it every day. Why? Take a look around our office on our virtual tour and you will see that we strive to make a visit to the dentist interesting and fun for kids. It starts the moment they come through the door.

From our patient families.
“It was great! My daughter was a little apprehensive to go to the “tooth doctor” but once she got inside and saw the train and how friendly and patient the staff was, she warmed up. It was like she was never apprehensive at all. She was so excited to check out the toy room too.”
— Brittnii Anderson
“Unbelievable experience. Not only is the office perfect for children in an amazing environment, Dr. Shebani is very patient and knowledgeable. My only criticism is that they don’t accept adults as patients!”
— John Swartz
“Staff are the best! He has been treating for my daughter since she was 2 (she is now 16). His manner is professional, yet sensitive. He is receptive to each parent and child and always takes the time to converse with my daughter on a personal level. We will be sorry to leave when she ‘outgrows’ the practice.”
— Elizabeth
“Dr. Shebani is so loving and soft spoken. My children adore her! She kindly takes the time to discuss any questions or concerns. The Toy Man makes each visit magical as well. I’m pretty sure not every parent has kids regularly ask if it is time to go to the dentist yet because they want to go!”
— Jeff Belding
“Dr. Shebani has worked on my son’s mouth since we started at this practice 2.5 years ago is absolutely fabulous!!!!!!! The rest of the staff is always wonderful and friendly!!!! thanks!”
