Children’s Dental Care Near Montclair, CA
Regular dental visits help protect developing teeth, identify problems early, and establish healthy habits as children grow.

From a child’s first visit through the teenage years, our goal is to make dental care straightforward, positive, and easy for families.
Pediatric Dental Services for Montclair Families
Our pediatric dental services include:
Dental Exams & Cleanings
Routine examinations and professional cleanings help monitor developing teeth, evaluate oral health, and identify cavities or other concerns early.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride can help strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of tooth decay in children who may benefit from additional cavity protection.
Dental Sealants
Sealants provide an extra protective layer over the grooves of back teeth, where cavities commonly develop.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
When cavities require treatment, tooth-colored restorations can repair the tooth while maintaining a natural appearance.
Pediatric Dental Crowns
Crowns may be recommended when a damaged or decayed tooth needs additional protection beyond what a filling can provide.
Baby Tooth Extractions
Certain primary teeth may need removal because of extensive decay, infection, trauma, or problems with normal dental development.
Space Maintainers
If a baby tooth is lost too early, a space maintainer may help preserve room for the permanent tooth developing underneath.
Pediatric Dental Emergencies
We evaluate urgent concerns such as toothaches, broken teeth, swelling, and dental injuries.
Helping Children Feel Comfortable at the Dentist
Children may feel nervous about dental treatment, especially during their first visits or when treatment is unfamiliar.
Our team uses age-appropriate explanations, a patient approach, and a child-friendly environment to help younger patients understand what is happening and feel more comfortable during care.
Parents are also kept informed throughout the visit so they understand any findings, treatment recommendations, and preventive steps they can take at home.
Special Needs and Sedation Dentistry
Some children need additional accommodations or support to complete dental treatment comfortably and safely.
Kids Dental Castle & Orthodontics provides individualized care for patients with developmental, behavioral, sensory, and physical needs.
When appropriate, treatment options may include:
- Nitrous oxide
- IV sedation(General anesthesia)
- Additional behavioral and sensory accommodations
If your child needs sedation or general anesthesia
Some children can't get through treatment awake — a three-year-old with six cavities, a child with autism for whom the room itself is too much. Medi-Cal Dental covers sedation and general anesthesia when it's documented as necessary: age, number of teeth involved, a medical condition, or an inability to complete care in the chair. We write and submit that documentation. Building the case is not your job.
Four board-certified dental anesthesiologists are on our staff — Dr. Charles Lee, Dr. Albert Kang, Dr. Ji Yoon Choi, and Dr. Andrew Elmasri. They're employees here, not a visiting team that comes one Thursday a month, and the sedation happens in this building rather than at a surgical center that bills you separately. That detail saves Montclair families the most money and the most waiting. Paying cash instead, IV sedation or general anesthesia is $1,200 flat, however many teeth are treated.
Braces: what Medi-Cal covers, and what everyone else pays
Medi-Cal Dental covers orthodontic treatment for children whose cases are scored as medically necessary — severe crowding, a bite that interferes with function, a jaw relationship that needs correcting. It's a review with a real standard, and not every case clears it. It never covers Invisalign.
If your child doesn't qualify, or you'd rather not wait on a review, our cash prices: braces around $3,500, Invisalign around $4,000, Phase One around $3,000, Invisalign First around $3,500, complex cases up to about $4,500. Payment plans are 0% — $300 down and about $133/month for 24 months, or $500 down and about $146/month for 24, with 18-month versions at about $150 and $167. Consultations are free. Dr. Lyndon Tran, a board-certified orthodontist who completed dental school and his orthodontic residency at NYU, does the evaluation.
If you have no insurance at all
Plenty of Montclair families are in the gap — working, not eligible, not insured. Uninsured children get a free exam and X-rays. Not discounted. Free. From there the $100 new-patient special covers the visit, and you get a written price before we do anything. We take CareCredit, and paying in full in cash takes 5% off, which stacks with CareCredit. Oral surgery is $300 per wisdom tooth, same $1,200 flat rate with sedation; first evaluation around age 13 or 14, by Dr. Sean Moghadam, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
Medi-Cal Dental e IEHP: información para las familias de Montclair
En Montclair, el 47.1% de las personas de 5 años o más hablan español en casa. Por eso esta información está aquí en español, y no escondida detrás de un botón de traducción.
Sí aceptamos Medi-Cal Dental (Denti-Cal) y aceptamos IEHP. Si en otra oficina le dijeron que no aceptan ese plan, aquí la respuesta es distinta. Su hijo recibe cita con el mismo dentista, en el mismo horario y en el mismo consultorio que cualquier otro paciente. No hay lista de espera aparte ni días especiales.
Para un niño menor de 21 años, Medi-Cal Dental cubre el examen y la limpieza cada seis meses, las radiografías, el barniz de flúor, los selladores en las muelas permanentes, las calzas, las coronas y las visitas de emergencia. Usted no paga copago por esos servicios. Lo que no cubre: blanqueamiento, carillas ni Invisalign. Los frenos se cubren solo cuando el caso se califica como médicamente necesario, después de una revisión.
Si su hijo necesita sedación o anestesia general, Medi-Cal Dental la cubre cuando está documentada como necesaria. Nosotros preparamos y enviamos esa documentación — usted no tiene que pelear con el plan. Tenemos cuatro anestesiólogos dentales certificados en el personal, y todo se hace aquí mismo.
Si no tiene ningún seguro: el examen y las radiografías son gratis para los niños, y la consulta de ortodoncia también. Damos el precio por escrito antes de empezar, aceptamos CareCredit, y hay 5% de descuento si paga en efectivo.
Se habla español en toda la oficina — en la recepción, con el doctor y durante el tratamiento. Nadie en su familia tiene que servir de traductor.
Horario: lunes a viernes de 9 a 6, y sábados de 8 a 2. Contestamos el teléfono de 6 de la mañana a 9 de la noche, los siete días de la semana.
Llámenos al 909-741-7052. Traiga la tarjeta de Medi-Cal y la de IEHP si tiene las dos.
