About Pediatric Dental Specialists
Based on West Elliot Road in Chandler, Arizona, Pediatric Dental Specialists is a dental practice serving the area. Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.
Pediatric dental care is built around treating children specifically — dentists with additional training in child development and behaviour management, and offices designed to make a first visit unintimidating. Guidance generally points to a child's first dental visit around age one or within six months of the first tooth.
Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.
Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and corrects bite problems using braces, clear aligners, or similar appliances over a period that commonly runs from about a year to several years depending on the case. It is offered to both children, where early evaluation can catch developing issues, and adults at any age.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

They are the best of the BEST! We had such a wonderful experience at Pediatric Dental Specialists in Chandler! The entire team was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to help my 7 year old feel safe, comfortable, and included in everything that was happening. They made the visit fun, kept her laughing, and made me feel truly heard as a parent. They even let my oldest hop into the chair for a quick look at her teeth while we were there! I can’t recommend this office enough!
Great dentist , also great with special needs kids i wouldn’t go anywhere else
My overall experience was good. Office is clean and tailored to kids (love). Scheduling was easy and convenient (they open at 730am). Friendly staff. The girl who cleaned my sons teeth was super sweet and gentle. Dr Creech didn’t say much and I had to ask most of the questions but my son has good and healthy teeth so maybe that’s why, idk. Anyway after it was all said and done they gifted my little one a goodie bag with a toy, stickers, toothpaste and toothbrush. That was a very nice touch. There’s a parent sitting area inside. Plenty of parking. I would recommend.
We were referred to Dr. Clark by a close friend back in 2013. My 2 kiddos, ages 12 and 15 are still patients and will be until they can't be. Dr. Clark and his staff are wonderful and I highly recommend them to anyone.
Dr. Clark and staff are amazing!!! We have been coming to this office for 13 years and have always been so impressed!! With having 4 kids knowing their teeth are taken care of is huge! Their knowledge of pediatric dental care is incredible! We highly recommend this office and thank them all!!
We love Pediatric Dental Specialists! Both my kids have gone there since they were young— the staff is incredibly kind, patient, and loving. They enable the kids to become comfortable with the dentist and are extremely encouraging to the to both of my kids. I am thankful for this dental office.
My son absolutely loves going here — he always feels comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for. The entire team is so patient, kind, and great with kids. They make every visit smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a place their child will actually enjoy going!
Started coming to this dentist when my son was little in 2011 to get a second opinion. We have continued here since. My daughter now 9 has been coming since she was little also. Both the kids love this dentist and look forward to coming. They have helped us make informed decisions with both kids and I feel very comfortable with them. We are so thankful I found this dentist and have recommended them to other family members.
Most trustworthy children’s dentist in the Valley! After searching for a good dentist for both of my daughters—who each had dental conditions due to developmental issues before birth—I finally found this amazing office. The dentists here truly care about their young patients. They have incredible bedside manner and know exactly how to talk to kids of all ages, helping them feel comfortable and confident. The front desk staff are always friendly and helpful, and the dental assistants and hygienists are wonderful with the kids, too. We never feel rushed or like just another number—they take their time and genuinely care. I can’t recommend them enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We just moved from out of state. My 8yr old is scared of the dentist due to having a not so pleasant experience in the past. I know she has cavities and we have never put her under iv sedation. I went to at least 5 different pediatric dentist before finding this office. Dr. Clark came highly recommend by the AZ dental school. They talked about his amazing chair-side manners and how he listens to his patients. My daughter and I met Dr Clark and she automatically felt comfortable in his care. He gave us his honest opinion and didn't try to up sale me or scary into needing her to be put under IV sedation. He explained that my child has really sensitive teeth when it comes cold. This is one reason why she has a hard time in the dentist chair. My daughter just got her cavity fixed yesterday and she is feeling good. We gave her the calming drink and numbed the area. Clark did such a great job that my daughter didn't feel as syringe go in. He waited for the drugs to take affect and was very patient with her and answered all of my questions. I am grateful to him and his staff. My daughter is looking forward to her next check up.
