We have been taking our daughter to Expedition Dentistry for over 5 years, and we couldn't be happier with the care she has received. Jesse Gardner has been absolutely amazing from day one. He is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and always makes our daughter feel comfortable and at ease during her visits. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, and they truly care about their patients. Thanks to Jesse and the team, dental appointments have always been a positive experience for our daughter. We are so thankful for the excellent care and highly recommend Expedition Dentistry to any family looking for a wonderful pediatric dental office!

We initially came Expedition Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics when we needed a second opinion for some dental work that our daughter needed done. They understood our concerns and helped us to feel comfortable with the treatment plan. We have continued to bring all of our kids to them. Our youngest recently had his first visit, and it went even better than expected.

I was referred to Expedition by my dental hygienist since my daughter needed quite a bit of work done in her mouth. She reassured me that they would be understanding and wouldn't try and "shame" me as a parent for it. She was right! My daughter has had a wonderful experience each visit and is actually really excited to go to her dental appointments now! The doctors and staff are so kind and welcoming, listen to you, and you can tell that they truly care about each kiddo that sits in their chair. The atmosphere is geared towards children, and my daughter really loves the games in the lobby and the prizes they give at the end of the appointment! We couldn't be happier with our decision on going with Expedition and cannot recommend them enough!

Expedition is an amazing dentistry. I take my 5 year old here and my 2 year old. They work well through fears of being at the dentist and make the dentist a fun experience for kids. All of their staff is so welcoming and caring!

Great experience! The staff did a great job at explaining and showing my 3 year old what they were doing and going to use. She did an amazing job and loved the dentist. She can’t wait to go back!

For pediatric dentistry, you can’t go wrong here. Expedition seems to be designed with young children in mind. Their staff are excellent with children, patient (a vital skill when kids are crying or fighting through their examination), and respectful of parental choice. That last part is the most important to me. Often, care providers will just talk (or demand, or threaten) parents into what they think a parent should do, without fully explaining options or alternatives. I’ve never received that from Expedition staff. Every single option has been explained to me and if I’ve asked for alternatives, they’ve been fully explained. Anything we have chosen or avoided for our children has been clearly marked in their files and respected. If your child is in need of a pediatric dentist, I cannot recommend them enough.

It was my daughter’s first trip to the dentist ever and I am so glad we chose Expedition! The office was super kid friendly, the staff was so kind and welcoming, and everything was explained in great detail before being done! Both the hygienist and dentist went above and beyond to make sure my girl felt comfortable! Can’t recommend this place enough!

We have been taking our kids to Expedition for 3 years. They are so gentle and sweet with the kids, explain to the kids what they are doing before they begin, and answer all of our questions that we may have! They have always been kind and appointments have always been on time which is a huge plus with little kids! Highly recommend!!

We took my 3 y.o. daughter here for her first dental visit and I will be honest, I was nervous for her as I have a fear of going to the dentist and I didn't want to project that on her. She did so amazing and they were wonderful with her. Everyone was so kind and they took their time with her visit, explained what they were doing before they did it to her and answered any and all questions that we had. She had such a great first experience that she has since asked if she can go back to the dentist office at least once a week! Highly recommend Expedition Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics and Dr. Hayter and their dentistry team!

After a few bad experiences with a local family dentist neglecting issues my child was having we looked elsewhere and found Expedition Pediatric Dentistry. We found out she needed extensive work and had to be put under. The entire process was well explained from billing to anesthesia. They took care of our daughters surgery with so much care and compassion. We loved our experience so much we moved all 10 of our kids over and drive an hour an half one way for our visits.

Both of our boys go here for dental care and we are so pleased! It’s a pediatric dentist, yes, but we absolutely love how they interact and work with the kids. It feels very above and beyond. Especially on the first visit where kids can be nervous, they talk to the kids, explain what they’re doing (at a level that the kids understand), and make sure the kids know they won’t get hurt. The staff is friendly, the facility is immaculate… we don’t have enough good things to say and recommend them anytime someone asks. Thank you Expedition!

I brought my 11 month old in for his first ever dentist appointment. They brought us back quickly, but they did have some cool toys in the waiting room that my son enjoyed during our short wait! I was so happy with how gently and kindly he was treated. I felt like all of my concerns were heard and addressed. I was also given good information about the first steps for tooth care (given he’s so young and my first child, this was extra helpful). I look forward to bringing him back in for his next checkup!

I took my toddler for his first dentist visit and this entire team was fantastic. I was nervous because he doesn’t really like anyone messing with his teeth besides me, but they did so good with him and he surprised even me! I’ll definitely be taking him back and using this office for him .

Michelle is such a great person to work with. She recently put on my son's braces. She was so patient and took the time to explain each step along the way. Even though I'm sure she says it so many times in a day she acted like it was no big deal. My son was anxious about this process and Michelle totally eased his nerves. We are thankful for her and her wonderful care.

My son had a tooth cracked in half from hitting his chin on his knee. Expedition got us in that same morning! All the girls were so sweet, calming and gentle. They were sensitive to our time and didn’t overcharge. I was very thankful for their help!

We love Expedition! All of my kids have had great experiences....from cleanings, to fillings, oral surgery and orthodontia. Bonus: they can get all 4 of my kids in for cleanings at the same time 🎉 The staff is very kind and down to earth and they do a good job of verifying insurance and not scheduling things until insurance will pay for them. Highly recommend 👌

The best pediatric dental clinic!! My son is autistic with sensory issues. I called around to so many other dental clinics who kept telling me they couldn’t accommodate my son. Then I found Expedition Dental. The exam went very well, we were even able to get our own private exam room for a quieter experience. The dental hygienist was great. Before the exam started, she asked us if she could do anything to make the experience better for our son or us. She explained everything she did beforehand and let our son touch the equipment. My child does need some extra dental work done and they are able to provide general anesthesia to make the experience less traumatic for him. We are very happy with the care they provided.

Amazing experience. My preschool age daughter loved it. She told me over and over “they were so so nice”. Even later that day, she asked if she could go back! 🤣! They had fun games to play while they wait, clean and beautiful location. Very friendly front desk. And of course she loved the suction toothbrush and animal shaped floss she got to take home. I was nervous if she’d be scared but they made it an amazing experience. She even told me no to candy that day because she “didn’t want to get cavity”!

Dr. Gardner is very gifted. His kindness has been a turning point in getting dental care for my autistic kiddo. Dr. Gardner is extremely fast and skillful - which makes it a breeze getting fillings, caps, and cleanings. We are always in and out in an hour or less. All his staff are kind, courteous, and gentle with my kids as well. We are so happy with our experience here after trying multiple dentists in search of someone who is a good fit for our needs. Thank you Dr. Gardner!

Nice, clean office. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They had excellent patience with my 5 children. On one occasion, one of our children had a dental emergency. We were scheduled that day and everything was handled so courteously and professionally. Edited: have had some billing disputes since then. The receptionist was very rude and unprofessional. It's a mix of staff we really like and then the other half... Not so much.

Absolutely recommend Dr Gardner to anyone that needs a dentist for their child. The hygienists were wonderful with my two girls, the youngest being 3 and has never been to the dentist before. They were very patient with her and helped make her comfortable so they could clean her teeth. Dr Gardner answered all my questions and was very nice. We will definitely be back every six months. :)

My experience with Gardner Pediatric Dentistry has been awesome. For the last one year I rely on this clinic for my daughter and son's dental needs. My son needed oral surgery involving anesthesia. The entire procedure was handled wonderfully. It was touching that Dr. Gardner and members of his team would call home to check on post op recovery. I like Dr. Gardner and his team for they are humble, reasonably priced and truly care for patients. They are highly recommended.

I took my three year old to Gardner Pediatric for her first dental check-up, and I was very impressed with how good they were with my daughter. They were very patient, and they made sure she understood everything they were about to do before they did it. Everything is very kid friendly. I also had my 4-month-old with me, and they were very accommodating to let me nurse him in the exam room after the appointment was over. We had a great experience.

We love Gardner Perdiatric Dentistry! I can’t say enough about the staff, Dr. Gardner himself and the level of care that they provide my children. They are so patient, kind and understanding in every situation! We have children with no cavities, and one who has several, and a child with dentist related anxiety, Dr. Gardner and his staff are always attentive to how any of our children are reacting to treatment! If you are looking for a dentist who understands how to manage a child in what could be a sensitive situation, look no further. Choose Dr. Gardner and his team TODAY! ❤️

Gardner is on point. I brought my two sons in there this afternoon at 4pm, and because the waiting room was full, I was worried it would take a long time. That was totally not the case! They got both boys in right at 4, quickly did x-rays, cleanings and exams and we were out by 4:35 with our next appointment scheduled! The staff was extremely friendly and good with the kids and Dr Gardner is very knowledgeable. The place is very kid friendly with TVs on the ceiling so the kids can watch Netflix while they get their exam. Highly recommend!

My 3 year was acting skittish this morning for his appointment. But Maria was super patient with him and was SO nice to him. Originally, I didn't think we would be able to get his teeth cleaned but she really worked with him through it. When it was Dr. Gardner's turn to do the exam, he started to be skittish again, and Dr. Gardner just did the exam while I was holding him. They were so patient with us. I bring all three of my kids and they do them all at one time. We have been going here for around 2+ years and I couldn't even imagine taking them anywhere else. We love Dr Gardner's office!

Dr Gardner was very thorough with his check, super friendly and very patient with the kiddos!! And also for the parents with babies, they have the ultimate changing station in their bathroom! They have diapers, wipes, plastic baggies for dirty clothes/diapers and such. We were recommended to this place and now I'll do the same, you should go here too!!

I started taking both of my kids to Gardner after being referred by our normal dentist. Every one is very kind and the atmosphere is relaxing for the kids. Dr. Gardner takes the time to explain what needs to be done. I have one very anxious child, and he likes this dental office better than any of the others. Every experience has been a good one. The only drawback is how long it takes to get in for an appointment, but I get it because he is so good, as are the hygienists!

Dr. Gardner is so great. When he is working on our kids, I feel like he treats them like he would his own. He is kind, patient and takes his time with all our questions but is very fast and thorough with his procedures. My 6 year old has had 2 infected teeth pulled by Dr. Gardner and both times it was smooth. The 2nd time my child said he didn't even feel a thing. The staff is wonderful to work with. Very helpful and friendly. The office is clean and kid oriented (big kids too - like husbands...lol). God has certainly placed Dr. Gardner in the right profession and his staff compliments him well. Thank you!

Dr. Gardner always does a great job! He's fast, great bedside manner and his staff knows how to talk to kids through what would normally be a scary procedure. I had two other dentist recommend putting my son to sleep to fill a cavity and Dr. Gardner was able to do it without putting him to sleep. I'm a fan for life. Highly recommend him!

I recently moved to the Springfield area and took my 2 year old twins here and will definitely be returning. Not only is their office kid friendly but, the staff was SOOOOOOOO nice.

He answered my questions and concerns without rush. He was very patient and thorough (which was needed with one of my kids)

My sons love this place! Dr. Gardner is very informative and makes sure that all my questions are answered before we leave. And Paige is the sweetest! The whole staff there makes going to the dentist an enjoyable thing to do!

Dr. Gardner has a special talent with kids. Warm and kind, but knowledgeable as well. 6 stars anyone?

My daughter had a wonderful visit at this office. We just resently moved from Florida and did not get so lucky there. Already being very nervous, the staff there was more then awesome with Kendall and calmed her immediately. The office is amazing for kids and the doctor himself was the nicest ever. We are very happy that we chose the right place this time and would recommend it to anyone!!!

I was dreading taking my daughter to the dentist for the first time because I knew she would meltdown the whole time. The staff were so amazing with her! Rather than carrying out a wailing child like I expected to, I had to tell her we had to leave!

Dr Gardner and his excellent staff are great with the kids and helping them feel comfortable. My kids enjoy going to see them! Dr Gardner does a good job of explaining treatment options and is just as wonderful with the parents as he is the kids.

Wait time was minimal. Video games, toys and tv in waiting room. Friendly staff, friendly dentist, great exam. My son was thrilled with the tshirt for no cavities, I was thrilled we were in and out in way less than an hour.
