Welcome To Groat Pediatric Dentistry
We love kids! Our positive, caring, and energetic team takes pride in providing individualized care of the highest quality for our patients. We know that each child is unique, and so we offer a wide range of services to meet the needs of our patients. From their first checkup through adolescence, we truly enjoy getting to know our families and seeing their children grow up.
We believe in the importance of a strong, trusting relationship between our practice and our families so that parents will always have a place to turn should questions or problems arise. A healthy mouth is part of a healthy body and we make it our goal to partner with parents to create healthy smiles that will last a lifetime.

What Sets Us Apart?
Specialty Care
Who says learning isn't fun?
Dr. Groat is a board-certified pediatric dentist. He has received extensive training in the treatment of the unique dental needs of children, and knows kids are not just “small adults.” We provide services and treatment options specifically designed to meet each patient’s individual needs.
Open Communication
We are an open book.
We’re here to serve you and your family. We believe in the importance of a strong, trusting relationship between your family and ours. From your first contact with our office, through your child’s “graduation” from our practice, we make great efforts to maintain open and honest communication. We always explain treatment needs and options thoroughly, and will even explain any needed treatment with your child in a way that will help them feel comfortable and safe.
An Amazing Experience
A place where a kid can be a kid.
We strive to provide a positive experience for every individual who comes through our door. Our highly skilled and carefully selected team loves to have fun in the office. We understand that many children (and parents) are nervous about visiting the dentist. We believe that each of our patients deserve a “dental home” where they feel safe and comfortable.

OUR SERVICES
At Groat Pediatric Dentistry, we offer a variety of services.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide is a combination of two different gases–-oxygen and nitrous oxide. We administer the gas through a small mask placed over your child’s nose. The gas will make your child relax without the full effect of anesthesia.
Learn More Cleanings and Exams
We recommend routine dental cleanings for several reasons. When we perform a professional cleaning, we remove the buildup of plaque and tartar. We also clean the parts of your child’s teeth that are hard to reach, such as underneath the gums.
Learn More Restorative Dentistry
Here at Groat Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to offer dental restorations to help protect and restore children’s teeth so that they can speak and eat easily as well as have a wonderful smile.
Learn More Emergency Dental Care
Emergencies can, and do, happen at any time. Being prepared and discussing emergency situations with your dentist is the best way to save valuable time and stress in the unfortunate situation of a dental emergency.
