Services We Offer

Frenectomy

Tongue ties

In infants, an elongated lingual frenum may make it difficult to nurse or to feed sufficiently from a bottle. A child with this condition is commonly referred to as being "tongue-tied." If the abnormality is left uncorrected until the patient's toddler years, the child could experience difficulties in speech. Fortunately, a basic frenotomy can be performed quickly and with minimal pain during the first few weeks of birth.

	Dr. Z is a certified expert in frenulum treatment and inspection by the Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional therapists - in other words, she REALLY knows what she's doing.
	Kids have a painless experience with the Waterlase laser technology.
	Your child will see immediate results with feeding and speech post-surgery.
	Z Pediatric Dentistry is the only office in Pearland to offer these services!
	The Reviews speak for themselves!

Sedations

	Nitrous oxide Nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas, is great for older children who are a little nervous about their visit and have a few cavities.
	Oral sedation Oral sedation, what we refer to as 'our juice', is great for younger children who are nervous about their visit and have a few cavities.
	IV sedation IV sedation is a great way for any child to have the best experience in our office.

"Dr. Z and her her staff were great. My boys are autistic and I was a bit apprehensive about their first time here but they did great and I think it was due to the staff being so supportive and kind to my boys. Dr. Z was efficient yet thorough and I really appreciated that as my boys have a short attention span. I recommend this office. 10/10."

"I cried as we left today because this is the best dentist experience we’ve ever had! My son has dental anxiety, and we have not been able to make it through appointments at other offices. The staff were so kind and gentle. The tech took her time and explained everything to my son, even letting him touch and hold the instruments so he could see they weren’t scary. Dr. X was very sweet and kind with him. She’s awesome! I’m very thankful for Z Dentistry."
