What to Look for When Finding a Dental Home for Your Children

Choosing the right dental home for your child is an important decision. A good pediatric dental practice not only helps with cleanings and checkups but also makes kids feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. At Shaenfield Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we focus on building lifelong relationships with families and creating positive experiences for children of all ages.

Insurance Acceptance and Flexible Financing

One of the first things parents look for in a pediatric dentist is whether the office accepts their insurance. At Shaenfield Pediatric Dentistry, we work with many PPO plans and offer flexible financing options to make care affordable. We also provide family block appointments, so parents can schedule multiple children at the same time.

Board-Certified Specialists

When it comes to your child’s health, training and expertise matter. Our team includes:

• Dr. Natalia Velasquez, Pediatric Dentist – trained at Boston University, dedicated to making dental visits fun and educational.
• Dr. Noor Mansouri, Board-Certified Orthodontist – offering braces and Invisalign for children, teens, and adults.
• Dr. Joanna Ayala, Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist – San Antonio native with advanced training in pediatric care and sedation dentistry.

Our specialists are experienced in treating kids of all ages, including those with dental anxiety or special needs.

Comfortable, Child-Friendly Environment

Kids feel at ease in our open, welcoming office. Parents appreciate:

• A bright, comfortable waiting space with family-friendly seating.
• Kid-focused amenities like TVs, fun toothpaste flavors, and special reward systems.
• An atmosphere designed to reduce anxiety while keeping visits enjoyable.

We believe little details—like letting your child choose their toothpaste flavor—make a big difference.

Located at 11590 Galm Rd., #105, San Antonio, TX 78254, we serve families across New Territories, Northwest Crossings, Saddlebrook Farms, Oak Grove, Braun Station, and Wildwood West. Convenient access means fewer missed appointments and a smoother routine for busy families.

Comprehensive Pediatric and Orthodontic Services

We provide a wide range of care under one roof:

• Preventive Dentistry – cleanings, sealants, fluoride treatments, and space maintainers.
• Restorative Dentistry – dental crowns, cavity treatments, and root canals for kids.
• Sedation Dentistry – laughing gas, oral sedation, and general anesthesia for children who need extra support.
