About Winning Smiles - Amherst
Winning Smiles - Amherst operates on Sheridan Drive in Buffalo, New York. 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.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
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.

The Dentist and staff were absolutely wonderful at Winning Smiles. My 8 year old daughter, was beyond nervous regarding having to have two teeth removed and one filled. Carrie, the Dentist assistant Jake the Dentist and the remaining staff were so very good at their jobs. They put our daughter at ease and had her giggling. My wife and I could't be happier and highly recommend Winning Smiles at Amherst.
My son is a patient at Winning Smiles in Amherst and he absolutely loves them. He is six and he’s gone there since he was two. He loves going. The staff is friendly and they even get a little prize at the end of a little coin machine!
We absolutely love winning smiles!
My kids are enjoying the easy going and kind conversations as they gets their teeth worked on. If they are nervous the team notice right away and reassure them and let me kids know they are doing great. The team is always on top of pain management options and explain how any why they use these options 💞. My one child , likes math and science. He likes hearing the treatment plan in steps as they work through the appointment. As a parent I’m enjoying the care and love they give to the kids . Everyone in the whole building is kind and very cheery to be around 💞
All of the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. My daughter is 2 and this was her first dentist appointment, and I was blown away with how welcome we felt, how the staff treated us, and how quickly she felt safe in a new environment.
I am usually very pleased because my children like going to their dental visits since we switched here. However I feel that it is very expensive and I felt blindsided by an almost $600 bill to fill cavities for my daughters baby teeth - two times in a row she was not seen by the dentist and now 5 cavities - and 1 for my other daughter. Her bill was almost $200. Very unhappy, tempted to switch and/or get a second opinion.
Friendly staff and we were able to be seen quickly for an issue which led to needing a tooth extraction. They not only had my daughter at ease, but she left with a smile and was excited through the whole process. They explained everything in gentle terms and made the whole experience comfortable and quick! Highly recommend this dentist and will be taking all of my children here in the future!
My kids have been going here since they were 6 months old (Now 6 & 3). I highly recommend them! You can e-mail pictures if you have any concerns, the make everyone feel comfortable, always answer my questions in detail & my kids love going. We love our hygienist too! We always get the same one which is so nice. We go to the (Amherst Location).
My hygentist Becca was very professional and friendly.
