Every child deserves a positive dental experience. We are passionate about children's dentistry and dedicated to helping young patients feel comfortable, confident, and excited about caring for their smiles. From first visits to teenage checkups, we create a welcoming environment where kids can relax and parents can feel confident.
No two children are alike, and their dental care shouldn't be either. We take the time to get to know your child, understand their personality, and tailor each visit to their unique needs. Our goal is to build trust, encourage healthy habits, and create positive dental experiences that last a lifetime.
We know that visiting the dentist can feel intimidating for some children. That's why we focus on making every appointment fun, friendly, and stress-free. Our team uses gentle communication, positive reinforcement, and age-appropriate explanations to help children feel safe and comfortable throughout their visit.
From toddlers experiencing their first dental appointment to teens navigating orthodontic care, our team provides comprehensive children's dental services for every stage of development. We focus on prevention, education, and early intervention to support healthy smiles as children grow.
As a family dental practice in Houston, we make it easy to care for everyone's smiles in one location. Parents, children, and siblings can often schedule appointments together, helping busy families save time while receiving quality dental care.
We value partnership and communication. Parents are welcome to accompany their child during appointments and treatment whenever appropriate. We always want you to feel informed, involved, and comfortable.
We provide fun, stress-free pediatric dentistry that kids love and parents trust. Here are some of the reasons why families from all over Houston and the surrounding areas choose us for children's dental care.
You want what’s best for your child, so when it comes to their teeth and gums, you’re not just looking for any dentist. You want a pediatric dentist who specializes in children’s oral health.
At Echeverri Dental Center, we have several board-certified pediatric dentists, and we’re ready to care for your little one’s smile.
So, what is a pediatric dentist?
A pediatric dentist specializes in children’s oral health and is trained to treat children from infancy to adolescence. They perform routine preventive care, such as cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants, but they are also equipped to handle complex dental issues, including dental emergencies and orthodontics.
There are numerous steps to becoming a board-certified pediatric dentist:
If you’re searching the internet for a “pediatric dentist 77055,” look no further than Echeverri Dental Center! Our office is the “go-to” destination for pediatric dentistry in Houston and the surrounding communities of Hillshire Village, Spring Valley Village, Spring Branch East, Katy, Westview, and Memorial.
To schedule an appointment, please call us at (713) 956-8767.
Positive associations with the dental office are essential to your child’s dental health because negative experiences can lead to dental anxiety and even dental phobia.
A comforting and fun environment encourages your child to visit the dentist. They have friends at the practice and soothing dental professionals to care for them. Anything less can have long-term consequences. Many adults who have dental phobia today indeed had a negative experience during childhood.
Our compassionate team are vigilant and aware. We maintain a positive atmosphere and are always good for a laugh.
Your child’s Spring Branch dentist encourages you to keep it positive when discussing the dentist’s office as well.
For our part, we’ll build trust with your child and a genuine relationship that makes them want to visit our dental office every six months.
Our pediatric dentists are eager to meet your child and help them enjoy a healthy and happy smile. To learn more or to schedule a visit, contact a dental team member today at (713) 956-8767.

Yes! Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings our pediatric dentists place over the chewing surfaces of
your child's teeth. The coating fills in the pits and grooves of the tooth, protecting the places that are most susceptible to decay and cavities.
Our hygienists report a reduced number of cavities in children with dental sealants compared to those without them.
A sealant also offers extra protection for young patients who may not have developed the brushing and flossing skills to effectively protect their teeth from tooth decay.
When primary molars have arrived and your child can sit in the dental chair for a procedure, around the ages of four to six, it is a good time to protect their small teeth.
Sealants are a non-invasive and quick procedure that we can perform during a single appointment. Your child won't even need a dental anaesthetic.
Many dental insurance companies also cover a portion of the cost for dental sealants since they are considered a preventive procedure.
If you would like to know more about dental sealants for your child, contact your dentist in Spring Branch at (713) 956-8767 for more information.
Invisalign First™ offers early orthodontic intervention for kids ages seven to nine.
Children with severe tooth crowding or early bite issues, such as an underbite, overbite, crossbite, or open bite, might benefit from early orthodontic treatment to correct these concerns while they're growing.
Invisalign for kids in Spring Branch, TX, offers options for children to complete their early orthodontic treatment with clear aligners instead of other orthodontic appliances. Your pediatric dentist at Echeverri Dental Center can help determine if this option would be successful for your child or if they would benefit from a space maintainer or palatal expander.
Early orthodontic treatment takes advantage of your child's growth patterns to expand their palate and eliminate overcrowding. It can correct severe bite concerns that could make chewing food difficult, impacting your child's diet and nutrition. It can also improve their smile aesthetics and build confidence and self-esteem.
If your child is around age seven or eight, it's time for their first orthodontic evaluation. Not every child needs early intervention, but those who do will benefit from getting started immediately.
Contact our Houston dental office in Spring Branch at (713) 956-8767 to learn more about braces for kids.

My 1 and 3 year old left super happy after their first dental visit. Dr. Saba treated them in an exceptional way, with great delicacy and professionalism, explaining everything in detail and answering all my questions in a simple way. There is no doubt he is an excellent specialist and I definitely know that my children could not be in better hands. Thanks to all your team who treated us kindly and with a smile from the first moment.
