Welcome to

Asheville Pediatric Dentistry!

Located in Asheville, NC we are your local, comprehensive pediatric dental solution. Asheville Pediatric Dentistry can help your child maintain a beautiful smile from their first visit through adolescence.

What is a Pediatric Dentist?

To be a Pediatric Dentist, the dentist must have completed 6 to 7 years of training, which includes 4 years of dental school plus an additional 2 to 3 years of rigorous residency training in the specialty of pediatric dentistry. Pediatric Dentists learn special techniques to address the unique needs of children, including dental trauma and infections, and have extensive formal training in how to keep children as comfortable as possible during any treatment.

In contrast, General Dentists, including those who limit their practice to children or who practice as family dentists, completed 4 years of dental school training before starting their dental practice.

To learn more about the specialty of pediatric dentistry visit the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry’s website.

  	I was really impressed by the whole team at Asheville Pediatric Dentistry. I have a super active toddler who loves to get into everything I can, and everyone at the office - from the receptionist to the hygienists - was incredibly accommodating and helpful. They made what could have been a nightmare visit actually a lot of fun!

  	My children have been Dr. Jackson's patients for several years. At this point excellent care is my standard expectation. I would honestly be shocked to receive anything less. Everyone at Asheville Pediatric Dentistry goes out of their way to provide top notch care. I would never hesitate to recommend Dr. Jackson and her staff.

  	Our son Kyle tripped and fell on a gravel driveway and shattered his front tooth. He is 22 months old. The Dentist and the assistants did a great job helping keep him calm while evaluating and removing the pieces of tooth. They sung the Abc's to him and had tv's mounted on the ceiling. I live in Florida so I do not use them as a regular Dentist. But if I lived closer I would definitely use this Dentist for both of my children.

  	This was our first time going to Asheville pediatric dentistry and we were really impressed with the entire experience. Our two kids had a ball and it was a completely different environment than our former dentist. Everyone, from the time we walked in to the time we left, was friendly and pleasant. Very knowledgeable and kind hygienists. Dr. Hardaway was awesome too!

Let’s get to know each other.

Your child’s first visit is not only about our team getting to know them, but also about you getting to know our team. In the time we spend together, we encourage you and your child to ask questions, express any concerns, and share with us anything you want us to know to help make your little one’s care as individual as they are.

Our Services

restorative dentistry

One of the ways our doctors accomplish natural smiles is by keeping as much natural tooth structure as possible. With their conservative approach, your child will only receive necessary treatment on the teeth needed. The end result is beautiful and natural!

Frenectomies

One of our special services includes Frenectomies. This procedure allows for the lip or tongue to regain full range of motion, improving nursing and bonding with your child and preventing speech issues.

Zirconia Crowns

It can be stressful to find out that your child needs a crown. Fortunately we now have zirconia crowns for children that are state-of-the-art, free of metal, and all white. They look so natural, sometimes even we have to double check our charts to see where we’ve placed them.
