I rate them a 5 star. My daughter is 7 and it has been challenging to get her to do any work. Here she was able to trust her Dentist and he made her feel comfortable to let her self do the work she needed. He was very patient.

I had a fantastic first-time experience at Santa Clarita Children’s dentist. From the scheduling conversation with Carrie all the way to our goodbye from the front desk staff, the entire team was friendly, accommodating, and gracious. My son was very challenging during the visit and did not make it easy on anyone. But the dentist and entire staff were very kind and helpful as we all navigated through his meltdown. I recommend this dentist office completely! 😁

I don't usually write any reviews, but felt necessary to write one about my experience at Santa Clarita Children's Dental. I was looking for awhile for a Dentist for my 6-year-old daughter. I needed for the Doctor to be gentle, caring, and most of all, understanding. I found her to be all of that, plus more. The entire staff goes above and beyond to make your child feel comfortable. They take their time, and most importantly, they have patience! That's important when it comes to kids and dentistry. I highly recommend bringing your kids.

Dr. James was AWESOME! So was the front desk staff, XRay tech & everyone else. I am SO pleased to have a comfortable and pleasant dental office to take my children. I cannot rave enough over the kindness, patience & service we received from Dr. James. What an awesome person! So knowledgeable and the fact he put up with my 7-year-olds severe fear of the dentist just blew my mind. They are happy to come back again. Thanks to everyone!

We drive over an hour to get to this dentist because Dr.James is so gentle and informative for both me and my children. Edith was so helpful in this process with making sure my little one felt comfortable for today's treatment. All of the staff here are so friendly as well. Glad I found this dentist!

Dentist has been very patient with my child building a relationship in order to better help him down the line when (hopefully never) he needs something to be done. Great place for kids. I know this office has been opened for years but everything looks new. Either equipment gets replaced regularly or it's maintained better than other offices.

We are new to the area and to this office. Finding a new provider can be uneasy. I am so happy with choosing Santa Clarita Children's Dental for the girls' dental needs. Office is nice and clean, all of the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Dr. James explained everything thoroughly and ensured all my questions were answered. Highly recommend this office for your children's dental needs.

First off the office is beautiful and everyone there is extremely nice as well as knowledgeable. Our kids had their first dentist visits today and we couldn’t have been more satisfied with how they were cared for. Everyone answered every question we had and our kids walked out smiling not traumatized. Looking forward to their next appointment in 6 months!
