Services
Traditional Orthodontics
Traditional metal braces correct misalignment and bite issues using durable brackets and wires. Ideal for children and teens, this treatment ensures precise tooth movement through monthly adjustments. Our approach combines affordability with modern, smaller brackets for comfort and aesthetics. Patients benefit from expert guidance and a 100% lifetime guarantee on retainers.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet, removable aligners for teens and older patients. Custom-designed to gradually straighten teeth without metal, these aligners allow normal eating and oral hygiene. Treatment typically lasts 12-18 months, with progress monitored every 6-8 weeks. We provide Teen-specific aligners with compliance indicators and replacement sets for added convenience.
Dentistry for Infants
Early dental care begins with oral health risk assessments and teething guidance. We focus on preventing decay through fluoride treatments and parental education. Non-nutritive habit counseling addresses thumb-sucking, while gentle exams ensure proper development. First visits are recommended by age one or when the first tooth erupts.
Phase 1 Orthodontics
Phase 1 treatment addresses jaw growth and alignment issues in children aged 6-9. Removable appliances guide incoming teeth and correct habits like thumb-sucking. This proactive approach reduces future orthodontic needs, potentially eliminating the need for extended braces. Follow-up ensures optimal timing for Phase 2 treatment when required.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options ensure comfortable treatment for anxious or special needs patients. Tailored to individual requirements, these methods allow safe, effective care in a stress-free environment. Our team prioritizes patient comfort while maintaining high standards of safety and procedural efficiency.

We have an autistic child and the team at happy kids dental has been extremely friendly and gentle with my daughter throughout the process. Would highly recommend this to parents with SEN kids. Just give them a call and ask for more details on your own circumstances.

Honestly the best place to take your kids if you are an anxious parent like me. I have a phobia of dentists and didn't want my daughter to be the same as me so wanted it to be a good experience for her. It was amazing, everything about the place from the decor, set up and the staff is designed to make it a fun experience. To the point it has actually helped me not be afraid of dentists anymore. The kids get lessons on looking after your teeth, even a place you can practice brushing crocodiles teeth, and gifts galore when you are finished. Very expensive but I believe worth every penny.

We have been coming to Happy kids dental for over a year now for my 10 yo. The experience has been excellent every time. Dr Stefan and Dr Maja are amazing! I really feel they have her best interest at heart always removeria g little details from our previous visits. I have been constantly reassured and informed of my daughters progress. The equipment used is excellent because they are able to show us exactly how her teeth are moving and changing. The staff are polite, the venue is impeccable and they live up to their name because my girl always leaves happy . Highly recommended.

My 5yo daughter loves going to the dentist. It's a very cheerful and kid-friendly atmosphere - the entire place is filled with things kids love. Getting the prize at the end is even fun. Everyone is very friendly and they take the time to talk to you about your kids' dental care. I will definitely be bringing my younger daughter in for her first dental check up too.
