Welcome To Growing Smiles Pediatric & Adolescent Dentistry
Growing Smiles Pediatric & Adolescent Dentistry
Growing Smiles is not just another pediatric dental office. We are a stepping-stone to a healthy lifestyle. We deliver optimal oral health care for infants, children, adolescents and persons with special health care needs. Our mission is to teach both parents and children an appreciation of complete dentistry: including preventive measures, treatment of dental disease and assisting craniofacial development in a relaxing and compassionate environment.
We respect and acknowledge the trust that our family of patients has placed in us for their care. At Growing Smiles, our team is focused on creating a fun and welcoming environment where children and parents feel comfortable.
Digital imaging allows for us to manipulate X-rays on our computers looking for any possible issues associated with the teeth, gums, or surrounding bone.
Sometimes, in cases of severe decay or trauma, your child may require a dental crown. A crown is a protective cover placed over the tooth like a helmet.
Growing Smiles takes pride in being the pioneering laser dentistry clinic in our state. Growing Smiles is the only pediatric dentist in 153 miles to have the Solea laser.
We have had nothing but positive experiences at Growing Smiles. The staff from the reception area, to the hygienist and dentist have all been wonderful. I only wish they accepted Guardian insurance - we love this place so much we go here out of network for our kids.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my child has consistently received at Growing Smiles. Everyone is kind and friendly and terrific with children, and Dr. Amy is all of those things and extraordinarily talented. I can’t say enough about how wonderful they’ve been!

We had such a great experience with Dr. Amy & her team. My son’s Solea procedure went perfect!
No needles, no fear, just an incredible pediatric dentist who knows how to make kids feel safe and cared for like they are one of her own!

Amazing pediatric dentist. My kids have been going to Growing Smiles for many years and I’ve always been happy with the results. They are kind, compassionate and all about the best for your kids. Neither child has a fear of the dentist because of Growing Smiles!

Dr. Amy and her staff are so kind, fun and patient. My 3 children have been seeing Dr. Amy since they were babies and they look forward to their appointments. The TV screens and prizes at the end are a real treat. The care Dr. Amy and her staff provide is wonderful, she always explains their x-rays and what to expect in terms of their oral development. Overall a great experience!

This is what pediatric dentistry should look like. The team at Growing Smiles is amazing. They speak to my children with respect, explaining the procedures in age appropriate ways. The staff and the doctors are all outstanding, to the point when they stopped accepting my insurance I chose to stay and pay out of pocket in order to make sure my kids were in the best of hands. If you are searching for a dentist for your kids I can’t recommend them enough!

Absolutely love it here! As soon as you walk in the doors you are welcomed by the best staff possible. Big smiles and nothing but kindness. My daughter who is under 2 has anxiety with new people, but they did so well with her that she was able to have her whole mouth checked and cleaned. Highly recommend and the visits we have had have always been amazing!

All around wonderful, friendly, informative staff:) Both the Hygienist and Dentist were great with my 10 year old daughter, they made her feel at ease throughout the appointment. They also have TV’s built into the ceiling and given headphones so while the child lays back in the chair they are happily distracted by the show they get to pick out; nice touch!

I am impressed at how wonderful the dentist and and dental hygienist were with my 3 year old. I was worried going into the appointment my little one would be uncooperative, but their skill and bedside manner were so great my daughter ended up enjoying the visit! They have TVs in the ceiling to help distract the kids. They gave me great tips and tricks to help with child dental care at home. Highly recommend!

Dr. Amy and the staff at Growing Smiles on Transit Rd. In E. Amherst were amazing. They go the extra mile for the families they serve. Their office and dental practices were very clean. The staff calmed down my two-year-old son’s nerves of a dental visit AND they calmed mine as a parent who is worried for their kid. They went at his pace, allowed him to explore the office, talked to him, showed interest in both of us and of course, offered us crystal clear dental advice and an easy-peasy exam. They had kid-friendly dentistry tools that he tested out on a stuffed animal with teeth, a welcome sign with his name on it, and a cute waiting area with toys. We are actually looking forward to the dentist now!

Wow! Today was our first visit and everyone at the office was so wonderful! I have a 4 and almost 2 year old and I was blown away with how comfortable they were...and actually HAPPY to be there! Their attention to detail and warm and caring demeanors with our children (and their mama) completely blew away my expectations! So happy that my friend recommended Dr. Amy and this practice and I highly recommend them to other families here in WNY! :)

I brought my 15 month old son here for his first appointment and we absolutely loved it there. Everyone was super friendly and very informative. Very nice first dentist visit and they also have a service dog I believe that comes in and sees the children. We haven't met her yet but I made sure to schedule his next visit when she visits! Overall loved them.

We absolutely love Dr. Amy! She is the sweetest person and so wonderful with kids. She takes her time and explains what she is doing to the children in a way they can understand. She has an amazing ability to put kids at ease and takes the fear out of going to the dentist. I wouldn’t dream of taking my children to anyone else. It’s easy to see that she truly loves what she does and loves children. She also spends the time to educate parents about dental health and oral care. When my daughter had a dental emergency one evening she returned my call immediately and assessed the situation. She saw my daughter in her office the next morning and everything turned out fine. I know in the future if any emergencies were to occur outside of normal office hours that I will be able to get in touch with her which is a great comfort as a parent. She has a lovely, friendly, and warm staff. Her office is beautiful, clean and as an added bonus above each chair tv’s are installed into the ceiling for the kids with a great selection of movies. She has video games in the waiting room and kids get tokens to pick their own prizes at the end of their appointment. Dr. Amy has made going to the dentist fun!!! This is by far the best pediatric dental office in the area.
