Many kids feel uneasy about going to the dentist, and many parents remember feeling the same way. At Smile Station Pediatric Dentistry, our board-certified pediatric dentists work to change that with a fun, comfortable environment and care tailored to each child.
We care for infants, children, teens, and patients with special healthcare needs at two Omaha offices, serving families across Omaha, Gretna, Elkhorn, and Bennington.
Early visits help us spot concerns sooner and give you simple guidance for caring for your little one's teeth at home.
Our team takes extra time with each child and family, adjusting the pace and approach so every patient feels accepted and comfortable.
We teach kids to brush, floss, and make smart food choices, and we explain each step of their visit in a fun, imaginative way.
Teens get care that respects their growing independence, with checkups and treatment planned around school and activities.
We recommend a checkup and cleaning at least every six months. At each visit, we examine your child's teeth, gums, and jaws and check that their facial structure is developing properly.
Even with great habits, cavities happen. We restore smiles with tooth-colored fillings, crowns, and pulp therapy.
We offer several sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, IV sedation, and hospital dentistry with general anesthesia.
Accidents happen. We provide emergency care for toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, dental injuries, and swelling. If your child has a dental emergency, call us as soon as possible.
Our upbeat team welcomes your child to an office designed with kids in mind, complete with TVs and toy vending machines that make visits something to look forward to.
Our pediatric dentists have completed years of specialized training to care for growing smiles, and they take the time to get to know each patient and their family.
We treat every patient with compassion and respect, tailoring care to their unique needs so they stay on the right track toward a healthy smile.
Families across Omaha trust us with their children's smiles, including kids with anxiety, ADHD, and autism.
My son has severe anxiety and ADHD. Today he had 2 cavities filled and I was prepared for the worst. It was AMAZING! The team worked quickly and made sure my son was comfortable the entire time. We drive quite a way to see them and it’s 100% worth it!
My children have had fairly routine dentist visits their whole lives. That was until my oldest daughter broke off the front part of her front tooth two years ago. We thought there was no way her tooth would be fixed, but Dr. Rick was absolutely amazing in repairing it. The best part of going to Smile Station is how personable Dr. Rick is. He gets to know his patients, makes them feel welcomed and well-cared for, and puts us parents' minds at ease. They are in good hands at Smile Station, and I can't imaging going anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Rick. You're the best!
I would recommend Dr. Snyder and the staff at Smile Station for any mother and those with Autistic children as the staff really takes their time and care with each child and families. My son won't go anywhere else as they make him feel accepted and comforted when he has questions or has a stimming moment. The new office is spacious and provides space during this pandemic.
Smile Station is such a wonderful place for young children! We were understandably nervous for our 5-year-old sons root canal today and Dr. Rick was so patient with him that it went wonderfully! He and his staff are able to “read the room” and take things at the child’s speed. I am so grateful for their team and the success we had today!
We had a phenomenal first Smile Station experience with Ashley & Dr. Bryan today! They cared well for my 6yo daughter, offered great tips for better dental hygiene, and answered all my questions. The TVs & toy vending machines were icing on the cake. My daughter had so much fun, she asked to go back to the dentist tomorrow! Highly, highly recommend!!
The kids feel so safe and happy to go to Smile Station. They always leave there with the biggest smiles. Very clean facility and great staff. Highly recommend Smile Station to anyone.
Our Southwest Station sits near 180th and Harrison, and our Northwest Station is near 168th and Maple. Both offices share one phone number, so it's easy to schedule at whichever location works best for your family.
