Our Commitment and Future
Our mission is simple: take great care of kids and help parents give their children the smile of a lifetime.
Our vision is simple, too: show our community that kids’ dentistry really does matter.
Pediatric Dentistry is located in Moline, IL, and we are proud to serve families from across the Quad Cities, including East Moline, Rock Island, Davenport, Bettendorf, Silvis, Coal Valley, Milan, Le Claire, Eldridge, and the surrounding communities. Wherever your family calls home, you are welcome here.
When kids come early and come regularly, they learn more than oral hygiene. They learn how to trust, how to ask questions, and how to take pride in caring for themselves.
That’s why we do what we do. That’s how we know kids’ dentistry rocks.
Reimagining the Pediatric Dental Home
Choosing a pediatric dentist for your child can feel like a big decision. We understand that, because we are parents too.
You want a place that feels right. A place where your child is seen as more than a chart, and where your concerns are taken seriously. You want care that is skilled, but also kind.
Our team brings training, experience, and modern pediatric dentistry to every visit, but what truly guides us is how kids respond when they walk through the door. We pay attention to their comfort, their questions, and their pace.
We see kids behind the smiles, and families behind the appointments.
We are here to walk this journey with you, not just today, but over the years. That partnership is what makes pediatric dentistry work the way it should.
That’s how we know kids’ dentistry rocks.
Our Families Say It Best
“I had a great experience today. The team at Pediatric Dentistry is amazing and Dr. Al is fantastic with kids. I love that they would see my four kids in one visit. The office itself is inviting and clean. I was most impressed with everyone’s extreme patience. I myself had two kids under two having meltdowns and they were able to get everything done with no frustration.”

We recommend bringing your child in by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth, whichever comes first. Starting early helps us build healthy habits and gives your child time to get comfortable with us before any treatment is ever needed.
The first visit is all about getting to know your child and helping them feel comfortable. We’ll do a gentle exam, talk with you about your child’s dental health, and answer any questions you have. No pressure. Just a chance to start building trust.
We go slow, we stay calm, and we celebrate every brave moment. Our team is trained to help children feel safe and in control. We use simple language, show them what we’re going to do, and never rush. Most kids surprise themselves with how well they do.
Most children benefit from visits every six months. This lets us catch small things early, keep their teeth clean, and reinforce good habits at home. Some kids may need to come more often depending on their needs.
We accept most PPO dental insurance plans as an out-of-network specialty provider. Our team will help you understand your benefits and file claims on your behalf. We’re happy to answer questions about cost before any treatment.
Call us right away. We make room for emergencies and will get your child seen as quickly as possible, often the same day or next day. If it’s after hours, our voicemail will guide you on what to do next.
Yes. We have experience and training in caring for children with a wide range of developmental, sensory, and medical needs. Every child deserves excellent dental care, and we’ll work with you to make visits as comfortable as possible.
Keep it simple and positive. Let them know we’re friendly, that we’ll count their teeth and make them sparkle, and that it’s going to be a good experience. Avoid words like “hurt,” “shot,” or “pain.” We’ll handle the rest.
