Featured Services

Infant Dentistry

By bringing your little one in at an early age, you’ll get a better understanding of their oral health from the beginning. These visits are also vital for early detection of dental issues, monitoring of proper growth and development, and proper parent or caregiver education.

Mild Sedation

Mild sedation is an excellent option for helping your child feel calm and comfortable during dental procedures. We provide child-safe doses of sedation so we can complete their treatment while minimizing negative associations with the dentist and oral hygiene. 

Preventive Care

Regular preventive care is the key to long-term oral health and a strong smile, especially for young patients. At South Coast Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, we offer comprehensive preventive treatments to keep your child’s teeth healthy and strong.

What Parents Are Saying

Becky

We called Dr. Sean with a question after hours and he got right back to us, was very helpful and got us in the next day and everything taken care of plus he is so patient and kind!

Tracy

We have been going to this office for 10 years now and have always had a great experience. Dr. Sean has had a seamless transition over the past year or two (?) and all the staff have remained wonderful. We highly recommend this office for pediatric dental care.

Jessica

Amy is such an amazing and patient hygienist! She is very calm and supportive to my son who is apprehensive about the visit. She takes her time to explain everything. She does a great job educating my son and I. Dr. Sean is also very kind, caring and supportive. We didn't feel rushed at any point. He answered questions I had. He made our visit very comfortable. The office staff is also very friendly and kind. They are just as equally helpful from the start of the visit to the end. I recommend this practice to anyone looking for a pediatric dentistry.

Alexandria

Johnny, looked forward to this appointment for a week. This was his second appointment here, but you all have made a real impression on both my boys.

Chelsea

Dr. Sean and his team are phenomenal! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pediatric dentist! They are clearly passionate and care for each of their patients. I have a 21 month old who can be shy with new people, and even she knew they were caring and good people, and warmed right up to them. They want your dental visits to be positive and successful and meet your kiddo where they are!

Leah

This was our first time meeting Dr. Sean and the staff of South Coast Smiles and we could not be more impressed! My son has anxiety and has always had a hard time visiting the dentist and getting work done. Everyone was so friendly from the receptionist to the hygienist to the dentist. Stephanie, the dental hygienist was so sweet and took her time explaining everything to my son and put him at ease right away. Dr. Sean is so likable and my son felt safe right away with him. He took a lot of time explaining things to this nervous Mom and I am so grateful for that! We could not recommend South Coast Smiles enough!

Lisa

My youngest just had a filling today. I was nervous for him. He did great but only because of the great staff there. Dr Sean and Diana were great. They kept my son at ease and talked through every step. It was a pleasant experience! Although I hope we don’t have to have anymore fillings should the need arise I will definitely feel confident in Dr Sean taking care of my son!

Kymberli

Highly recommend! Our dental hygienist Stephanie was a sweetheart and very informative. My daughter loved her and was so comfortable with her. Dr. Sean was great! Very nice man. Looking forward to her next appointment!
