Smiles For Kids Dentistry & Orthodontics, East

Smiles for Kids Dentistry & Orthodontics — East is a pediatric and orthodontic practice located at 2801 Eubank Blvd NE in the northeast Albuquerque area of New Mexico. The practice serves children and adolescents in the 87112 zip code and the surrounding communities along the Eubank Blvd corridor, offering both pediatric dental care and orthodontic treatment under one roof.

Pediatric dentistry at this location covers the oral health needs of patients from early childhood through the teenage years. Services include first dental visits for toddlers and young children, routine cleanings and fluoride treatments, dental sealants to protect molars from decay, and monitoring of tooth eruption and jaw development. Early identification of developing orthodontic issues is an important component of pediatric dental care.

Orthodontic services complement the pediatric dental program, allowing families to transition from children’s dentistry to orthodontic treatment at the same location. Orthodontic consultations evaluate bite alignment, crowding, and spacing, and treatment options may include traditional braces or clear aligner systems depending on the case complexity and patient preference.

Receiving pediatric dental care and orthodontic treatment at the same location can simplify coordination for families. The treating dentist and orthodontist share records and can communicate directly when a child’s dental development needs to be considered alongside active orthodontic treatment — for instance, when a tooth extraction is being considered to facilitate better tooth alignment.

Eubank Blvd NE runs north-south through northeast Albuquerque, accessible from communities including Hoffmantown, Four Hills, the Menaul corridor, and the areas near Kirtland Air Force Base. The practice’s location along this corridor makes it reachable from a broad range of east-side residential neighborhoods.

Parents scheduling a first visit for their child can expect an age-appropriate examination and a discussion of what to expect at future appointments. For orthodontic consultations, families will receive a treatment plan and cost outline before active treatment begins. To schedule, use the contact information provided on this page.

Parents of children in active orthodontic treatment should ensure their child maintains regular dental cleanings throughout the treatment period. Braces and other orthodontic appliances create additional areas where plaque can accumulate, increasing the risk of cavities and gum problems during treatment. A practice that offers both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics under one roof can coordinate these care needs efficiently.
