What Sets Us Apart

Our Mission

At Step By Step Pediatric Dentistry, our mission is to create happy little dental patients for life!

Experiences as children can shape how a person sees dental services in the future. We want to create positive, wonderful memories so children are excited to have healthy teeth, healthy smiles, and healthy lives.

Setting the Foundation for Lifetimes of Healthy Smiles, One Child at a Time

For Dr. Paula Stepp and our team, nothing is more rewarding than earning a child’s trust and helping them grow up with a bright, healthy, and happy smile!

No two children are the same and every family has specific concerns and expectations. At Step By Step Pediatric Dentistry, we provide high-quality, customized dental care with each visit designed to the child. Focusing on painless and positive experiences, we establish comfort in the dental environment.

As children grow up in our practice, they are taught step by step how to care for their teeth and why it’s important to maintain a healthy smile. Reinforcing this guidance with lots of praise and encouragement, along with preventive care, helps kids develop good oral health habits. These practices continue into adulthood, along with a feeling of ease about seeing the dentist!

Why Choose Step By Step Pediatric Dentistry?

Above all else, we love kids! We appreciate the unique energy each child brings to our day, love learning who they are and hearing about their interests and activities, and are honored to help each develop a lifetime of healthy smiles!

As a team, Dr. Stepp and our staff:

  • Expect kids to be kids, not little adults, and celebrate the specialness of each child.
  • Listen to parents and work closely with families to design dental care to their wishes, always with the child’s safety, comfort, and health at the forefront.
  • Maintain a welcoming and supportive environment, where everyone feels secure and knows they are heard and valued.
  • Provide advanced dental solutions, minimally-invasive treatments, and strive to establish optimal oral health at an early age.

We are dedicated to being here for you and your little ones as they grow. Step By Step, we teach, nurture, and encourage children and parents to take care of the child’s growing smile!
