Simply Kids Dental

Today I had my first experience & I am beyond thankful! From the 3 ladies at the front desk (my list of names didn’t save - sorry, I will call and update after 😂), to the office manager, dental hygienist (Justine), Nillayi, and Dr. Sean…I’m beyond grateful! My daughter experienced a horrible fall and had to go to the Emergency Room. A followup with a dentist was encouraged. Our Pediatric dentist is closed on Friday and after a failed attempt to a sister office, we called Simply Kids and they took us right away. My daughter’s tooth required an extraction (I figured that would be the case), she’s 1 so not a permanent tooth (Thank God!). They squeezed us in at 12:30, when the office closes at 1:00pm. Yes, they were busy. Also, if you are reading this review after reading all the one stars, yes I read them all. As someone with a healthcare background and personal dental experience to where I have a wealth of knowledge, I view things through a different lense. What’s true: 1. Yes, you are not allowed back with your child while they are under sedation in the sterile room. Did we like it? Nope, but what can you do about their policy. My one year old needed it done, yes she was crying, yes she was likely scared, but it’s a new experience that involves things she isn’t accustomed to. Of course she is going to cry! We don’t enjoy it, but what was best for her was to get her tooth pulled. Yes, they strapped her down, I understood why. She is 1 years old (almost 2). Like how could he pull her tooth out safely if she could move her body? It’s not possible. 2. Sedation was not covered by insurance and was almost $700. That could be shocking, but it’s a trade off. I either let the tooth stay in and get infected or pay $700. This was an emergency matter & my child needed the procedure. I paid the money before they did anything, why, they could have turned us away, said no. We weren’t patients just a family who needed help. They followed through and we were out quicker than I expected. $700 well spent! 3. The dentist is not a therapist! The dentist is there to care for your child’s teeth. Most of the one stars seem to come from parents who let their children where the parent hat. A child lacks wisdom, experience, and understanding. Dentistry is invasive, so yes, it may hurt and be uncomfortable. I hate some kids and parents experienced issues, I simply don’t have that experience. 4. This is a business! Yes, their business makes money off of your kids, just like doctor offices. Some parents are entitled and want you to bend over and do tricks just because they are paying you for a service! If Dr. Sean doesn’t spend 10 minutes talking to your child…who cares. As long as his interactions are kind, why do you need him to ask your child about school and their hobbies? The office is busy, many families come here (& keep coming). He is on the go, but even though my interactions were brief, they were effective and informative (just enough). He also spent a few minutes chatting after the procedure, which was the cherry on top! 5. Yes, while I was there I heard kids screaming, yelling, crying, but what do you expect to hear at a damn kids dentist. I walked by plenty of general dental appointments and the kids were calm. Also, this is a kids dentist. If they are in an anxious kids mouth, who’s bitten them, they are not being still, the goal is to get done quickly. Imagine working in a kids mouth and you stop but the child won’t open their mouth back open. Insanity! Pediatric dentistry is not easy! I’m not leaving this review because they are doing a raffle. I mentioned leaving a review before they said one word about it, but who doesn’t want a chance to win some amazing items. Dr. Sean mentioned he’d follow-up today (6/26), which was a nice touch. No call received, but after seeing his workload, I wouldn’t expect him to call. He met with us prior to leaving and I’m happy with that. Overall, I want to thank everyone we interacted with during our visit! We now have peace of mind.

We always have good appointments with Dr. Sean and his team and this appointment was no exception. He and Maria, the assistant, were great!

Maria was great with the kids and made them feel very comfortable! Dr. Sean was very nice and informative!

Absolutely love this place!!!! Both my children go here and needed a bunch of working they got both my children in quick and got all the work done and looks amazing not only that they also cut my son and my grandchilds tongue tie! The work looks amazing and my son already is speaking so much better!!!! The staff are the best absolutely sweet very responsive helped me with any questions I had and was very patient and great with my kids!!! Doctor Sean is truly amazing at what he does he is kind caring and very passionate about his work and getting kids smiling!!!! Each person ive met at this establishment is absolutely amazing!!!! Best decision ive ever made was taking my children far far away from academy kids dental and having them under Doctor Sean's care!!!! Simply kids is a god send and I definitely recommend any and every parent to come here with their kids!!!!

WALID! Fantastic fantastic human being in general. Walid sat us down and explained every aspect of the appointment, walid never treated my questions as silly and if I asked multiple questions walid didn’t forget one even if we had to back track. 100% going to make walid our child’s regular hygienist. And then the office manager Nawal *chef kiss* an Angel. Played with my child while I filled out paperwork and if I had a question about procedures or literally anything she was extremely knowledgeable. Would rate 10 stars if I could

We had a great experience at Simply Kids Dental with my 15 month old daughter! The staff was incredibly nice, friendly, and patient with us. Kat was our dental hygienist and we loved her. We will definitely be back for all of my daughter’s checkups in the future!

Vanessa was wonderful with all my children. Very informative with everything she did. Dr. Sean was great as usual. Love bringing the kids back

Always a great time at simply kids dental! Vanessa was amazing for my son. He asked if she would clean his crocodile's teeth and she did! Super cute. Best children's dentist in Colorado Springs by far .
