PPO-Only Pediatric & Teen Dental Care in Atlanta

Your Time Matters. So Does Your Child’s Health.

At Dentistry for Children and Teens, we prioritize quality over volume. Our entire care model is built around longer appointments, unrushed visits, and relationship-based dentistry — not corporate quotas or rushed insurance coding. That’s why we’ve chosen to operate as a private PPO-only practice.

We do not accept Medicaid or HMO dental plans.

If you're a PPO-insured family seeking expert-level care in a calm, modern environment, we’d love to welcome you.

Insurance & Payment Options

We accept all PPO insurance plans, including (but not limited to):

If you’re unsure whether your plan qualifies, just give our front desk a call. Our team is happy to help you verify eligibility and maximize your child’s benefits.

No Medicaid or HMO Dental Plans Accepted

While we respect all forms of dental care access, our practice is intentionally structured to provide boutique-level treatment in a setting that allows for:

  • More time per appointment
  • Full access to board-certified specialists
  • Use of high-grade, biocompatible materials
  • A conservative approach that puts your child’s long-term health first

Because of this model, we do not participate in Medicaid, PeachCare, or HMO dental networks.

If you're seeking a PPO-aligned, prevention-focused dental home for your child, you're in the right place.

Age Range & Who We Treat

We specialize in pediatric and adolescent dentistry — not general family dentistry. This means:

  • We welcome children as young as 1.5 years old
  • We provide full care through teens and young adults (early 20s)
  • We do not treat adult patients

If your teen is preparing for college or wisdom teeth removal, or if your child has complex needs that require sedation or surgical care, our in-house specialists are here to help.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Depending on your child’s age and needs, their first visit may include:

We also specialize in Special Needs Dentistry and can adapt visits to your child’s sensory, behavioral, or medical needs.

Financing Options Available

For families with higher treatment needs — including Orthodontics, Wisdom Teeth Removal, or Sedation Dentistry — we offer third-party financing to make care more accessible.

We proudly accept:

  • CareCredit
  • Cherry Payment Plans

These options allow you to split costs into monthly payments with zero or low interest, depending on approval.
