Sedation dentistry refers to the use of sedation during dental treatment. Sedation is most commonly used during extensive procedures, for patients with dental phobia or for patients who find it difficult to sit still. Our office offers nitrous oxide, and all doctors carry privileges for general anesthesia at facilities in Saint Cloud.
A topical solution to help dental caries management in infants, children, and persons with special health care needs when conventional restorative dentistry cannot be provided at the time.
Orthodontics:
As pediatric dental specialists, Drs. Collier, Rao and Zimmerman are experts on the growth and development of children’s dentition, jaws and craniofacial structures. Early growth and development evaluation may provide your child with a more positive experience should they require orthodontic treatment in the future.
If you're the parent or guardian of a child with disabilities, you'll appreciate the support, skill and compassion found with our doctors and our office. We can help put your child on the path of good oral health with a preventative dental care plan customized to fit your child's needs.
Emergency Treatment:
While our goal is to prevent dental emergencies, we understand that the need for urgent dental care is sometimes necessary and can be a stressful experience for both parents and children. We strive to handle dental emergencies promptly and with compassion.

“We came to this clinic for a second opinion after a not so great experience at another pediatric dentist. I can’t brag more about the amazing staff here!!! My daughter was made to feel so comfortable. After the experience we had at the other place this was a breath of fresh air. We look forward to continuing all our girls dentistry here!”

“My kids have seen Dr. Rao for the past 8 years. She is so smart, kind and caring. She takes the time to explain everything. She goes above and beyond when thinking about any complex issues that could be going on. I’m so thankful we found her years ago. All the staff is so great with the kids. I highly recommend taking your children here”
