Pediatric Dentistry Costs in Newark, New Jersey (2026)

Approximate price ranges — may vary by provider and insurance plan

ProcedureTypical Cost
Child dental exam + cleaning (under 12)$75 – $200
Fluoride treatment$20 – $50
Dental sealants (per tooth)$30 – $60
Child X-rays (bitewings)$40 – $120
Composite filling (child, per tooth)$150 – $300
Stainless steel crown (primary tooth)$200 – $400
Pulpotomy (baby tooth root canal)$100 – $500
Space maintainer$50 – $200
Nitrous oxide sedation (per visit)$50 – $150
Athletic mouthguard (custom)$150 – $350

On direct review, dentalprofessionalsoffairlawn.com, toothcostguide.com, southeasterndentalcenter.com, howmuchblog.com, and pcodental.com do not publish the specific dollar figures for space maintainers, pulpotomy, or fluoride varnish that were previously credited to them here; none of these sites display itemized per-procedure pricing on the pages we could access, and a confirmed Newark, NJ pediatric practice (Brilliant Smiles Pediatric Dentistry) does not publish per-procedure pricing either. One citation does hold up: xraycost.com publishes X-ray pricing (single film $15–$75+, national average around $150), which supports the bitewing X-ray range shown, extended modestly since a bitewing set is typically 2–4 films rather than one. All other figures below reflect national pediatric-dentistry cost benchmarks rather than a verified Newark or New Jersey citation. Ranges are in USD as of 2026. Many New Jersey Medicaid/CHIP plans (NJ FamilyCare) cover preventive pediatric services like fluoride and sealants at little to no out-of-pocket cost; private insurance coverage varies. Always confirm pricing directly with a Newark provider.

More about children / pediatric dentistry at this clinic

Gramercy Pediatric Dentistry is a children’s dental practice on Atlantic Avenue in the Boerum Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The office focuses on pediatric dentistry, caring for infants, toddlers, school-age children, and teens. A pediatric-only practice is built around how children experience a dental visit. Professional cleanings are a central part of children’s preventive care, removing plaque and tartar and giving the dentist a clear chance to spot early decay. The office keeps the experience calm and unhurried, with child-friendly touches that help young patients relax, and the team takes the time each child needs rather than rushing the visit, which matters for toddlers and nervous first-timers. Building a positive early relationship with the dentist matters: children who associate dental visits with a calm, friendly experience are far more likely to keep up good habits as they grow. Regular pediatric visits also give parents a chance to ask questions as a child grows, from teething and first foods to the timing of orthodontic evaluation, with the team offering practical guidance at each stage. Parents can review Gramercy Pediatric Dentistry’s services and contact details on this page and reach the office directly to request an appointment for their child.

Closed · Opens today at 7 AM

Pediatric Dentistry focus in New York, with children / pediatric dentistry listed among 8 documented services — just outside Newark proper.

More about children / pediatric dentistry at this clinic

SLim Dental Kids is a pediatric dental specialty practice on York Avenue in Manhattan, founded and led by Dr. Stephen Lim. The practice operates as a children-only dental office rather than a general dental practice that occasionally sees kids — meaning the appointment experience, equipment scaling, and decor are all tuned for younger patients. Toys, silly sunglasses, ceiling-mounted TVs for distraction during procedures, and games in the reception area create the kid-friendly atmosphere that suits anxious children and first-time dental visits. For routine pediatric care, the team handles cleanings and checkups with fluoride application, dental fillings using BPA-free and mercury-free resin , dental sealants for cavity prevention on molars, and pediatric dental exams. Sedation dentistry options include nitrous oxide for anxious children and deep sedation for procedures that need a deeper level of comfort, alongside orthodontic options for kids whose alignment needs early attention. If you live on the Upper East Side and want a children-specialty dentist with kid-tuned amenities and BPA-free, mercury-free materials, this fits. Modern diagnostic tools including X-rays support the everyday workflow, with the materials-safety positioning suiting parents researching low-chemical-exposure pediatric dental care. The York Avenue location serves Upper East Side and Lenox Hill families, with appointment scheduling tuned for kids' school schedules. The practice suits NYC families who specifically want a pediatric specialty practice with explicit materials-safety positioning and a kid-comfort-first appointment experience.

More about children / pediatric dentistry at this clinic

Carroll Gardens Pediatric Dentistry is a children’s dental practice on Court Street in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The office focuses exclusively on pediatric dentistry, caring for infants, toddlers, school-age children, and teens. A pediatric-only practice is built around how children experience a dental visit. Early, regular visits help children grow up comfortable with the dentist and let the team monitor each child’s development over time. The team is patient with young and nervous children, and explains each step of a visit in a way both the child and the parent can follow. Building a positive early relationship with the dentist matters: children who associate dental visits with a calm, friendly experience are far more likely to keep up good habits as they grow into adulthood. Parents can review Carroll Gardens Pediatric Dentistry’s services and contact details on this page and reach the office directly to request an appointment for their child.

More about children / pediatric dentistry at this clinic

Chelsea Pediatric Dentistry is a dedicated children’s dental practice located at 220 West 26th Street in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. Routine pediatric dental services include preventive exams, professional cleanings, digital dental X-rays, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. Tooth decay treatment and cavity fillings are performed for children who require restorative work. The practice accommodates multiple children from the same family at a single visit, with several treatment chairs available simultaneously. The office space is designed to be welcoming rather than clinical, which helps reduce pre-appointment anxiety for children who are reluctant about dental visits. Nitrous oxide sedation is available for children who need extra support during treatment. Dr. Yassmin leads the practice, which has a consistent clinical team that families with multiple children have relied on across years of care. Families on the west side of Manhattan looking for a pediatric dentist with an established practice and same-appointment sibling scheduling can contact Chelsea Pediatric Dentistry at the information listed on this page.

More about children / pediatric dentistry at this clinic

Little Tooth Pediatric Dentistry is a children’s dental practice on Greene Avenue in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The office focuses exclusively on pediatric dentistry, caring for infants, toddlers, school-age children, and teens in a space built around how young patients actually experience a dental visit. A pediatric-only practice means the whole environment — the schedule, the exam rooms, and the team’s approach — is designed for children rather than adapted from an adult office. Early, regular visits help children grow up comfortable with the dentist and give the team a chance to spot small issues before they grow into bigger problems. A positive early experience matters: children who associate the dentist with a calm, friendly visit are far more likely to keep up good dental habits as they grow. Parents can review Little Tooth Pediatric Dentistry’s services, hours, and photos on this page and contact the office directly to ask a question or request an appointment for their child.

How to Choose a Dentist in Newark

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 23, 2026Independently reviewed

Newark has no shortage of dental providers — a quick search pulls up hundreds. The challenge isn't finding one, it's figuring out which ones actually deliver. We spent time reviewing patient outcomes, checking credentials, comparing pricing, and analyzing feedback from patients who've had pediatric dentists work done across the Newark metro area.

This is the short list. Ten providers in Newark, New Jersey that consistently showed up in the data — not because they paid to be here, but because their patients keep coming back and referring others. If you're weighing options for pediatric dentists in Newark, start here.
