Trusted reviews for pediatric dental care at Muir Station Smiles

Concord

We had such a phenomenal experience with this pediatric dental office! A huge thank you to Annette, the dental hygienist, and Dr. Monterroso for the incredible care they gave all three of my children — including one child on the spectrum. They were patient, gentle, compassionate, and truly knew how to make each child feel comfortable and safe during their cleaning appointments. My neurotypical children left smiling and happy, and the care they showed my child with sensory sensitivities genuinely touched my heart as a parent. It is rare to find a team that combines professionalism with such warmth and understanding for children of all personalities and needs. Thank you for creating such a positive and stress-free experience for our family. Highly, highly recommend!

Martinez

We had such a great experience with this office throughout my daughter’s first phase of braces treatment. Her braces journey was definitely long and eventful, but Tim and the entire staff were amazing every step of the way. From the time my dog chewed up her palate expander and Tim was able to fix it, to the many times she broke wires and needed repairs, they were always patient, helpful, and understanding. Every visit made us feel cared for and never like an inconvenience. The day it was finally time to get her braces off, my daughter was very nervous and scared, but Tim and the rest of the staff were so kind and patient with her. They helped calm her down and made the whole experience a positive one. We’re so thankful for all of their care, patience, and support throughout this process. Highly recommend this office to anyone looking for an orthodontic team that truly cares about their patients!

Our Ongoing Commitment to Excellence

Muir Station Smiles is a leading pediatric dental and orthodontic practice located in Concord and Martinez. We are all about kids! Our practice was designed with children in mind. From the toys and video games in our colorful waiting room to our children-themed treatment rooms, we provide our patients with a fun, comfortable, and enjoyable dental experience.

 

Although modern-day dentistry centers around prevention, many treatments or interventions are still needed. The majority of dental treatments are carried out to prevent or treat the two most common oral diseases: tooth decay and gum disease. Catching risks early can make all the difference.

Dental health is important, and it’s important to us that your child feels comfortable receiving the necessary attention to ensure the health of their smile. We understand the dentist’s office can be scary, which is why we take special care to help your little ones feel comfortable on their first trip.

 

We do our best to explain to your child what to expect so there are no surprises. During their visit, it is our goal to examine the development of their mouth, including crowding, the appearance of calcium deposits, abnormalities in several teeth, baby bottle tooth decay, gum disease, TMJ, and signs of prolonged problems such as thumb-sucking and teething.

We also like to educate them on proper brushing methods and dental care, and let them be a part of the process concerning their dental health so that they can develop life-long habits.

We strive to...

Insurance & Billing

Attaining the smile you’ve always wanted is as important to you as it is to us, and helping you affordably achieve that smile is our main goal. We are preferred providers for numerous plans including most PPOs and our fees are often equivalent or similar to those allowable under other preferred provider arrangements. Ask for assistance from our front office staff if you have any questions about your specific plan.
