Amazing experience today for our daughter's appointment. She has been so nervous at the dentist previously and allowed little "work" to be done. Dr. Carrie was fantastic, our daughter was brave, and everything went smoothly and all the treatment plan was able to be completed. Fantastic place to take children needing pediatric specialty dental work. Highly recommend, cannot say enough great things about the team, service, and experience. We are very grateful - thank you!

Took our daughter there for a few years until we moved. It was her first real dental experience and they did such a good job getting her to feel comfortable, never pushing her to do anything. They even have a comfort dog who comes in once a week to help kids who might need extra support. All the staff was super great. Highly recommend!

My kiddo had her first dental visit here a couple of weeks ago and it couldn’t have gone better! The staff was friendly and welcoming, the assistant and dentist that worked with us were amazing with kids and let us go our own pace and didn’t push when my daughter didn’t feel comfortable with something. Highly recommend as this place was also recommended to me!

The people are Tailwind are fantastic and have made it to where my 3 year old is almost excited to go (she loves the toys at the end). They put in the time and effort to connect with the kids, and you can see the tension and anxiety ease up in real time. 5 stars for real.

We love Tailwind! Both of my kiddos have gone since their first appointment. Staff is incredible with my 14yo who’s on the spectrum and my 10yo with pretty high anxiety. It’s always a quick and easy appointment. All of the hygienists and Dr Stephens are amazing with both kiddos, so calm and kind - I recommend Tailwind to everyone I know who’s looking for a pediatric dental office.

Had a bad experience with the mail dentist (and owner) but both female dentists were wonderful. The staff has been great and they have a kid friendly set up (bathroom with wipes, a stool, changing table, toys in the lobby). The male dentist doesn’t seem to like kids and sort of forced my 3 year old daughter’s mouth open before giving her a single moment to be convinced-first appointment.

I brought all three of my young kids for a visit at the same time, and was so worried it would be challenging. The set up is perfect-I was able to easily check in with my two oldest, they were just a few steps apart. My little one is not yet two so just had a quick easy check in after my bigs were done. Honestly, they were so comfortable there they wouldn’t have even noticed if I didn’t check in. Friendly, quick and thorough-I worried for nothing!

The best pediatric dentist! My son was seen here a couple of weeks ago. They did an excellent job marking him feel comfortable that the two appointments that we had scheduled, became to be only one visit. They are so professional that we’re able to get done everything at once. Doctor Laura is the best!

Hands down, BEST pediatric dentist! Our sons have both gone here since they were 2 and they love going to the dentist! Recently, our 9yo had 4 teeth extracted and we're struck by the 180 degree different experience he had at Tailwind as compared to the experiences both his dad and I remember having from our own childhoods. Thank you Tailwind, you're doing pediatric dentistry right!

Dr. Stephen is an exceptional Dr incredibly knowledgeable, and truly present when speaking with you. We came to him with a concern, and he explained our options clearly, offering thoughtful advice without making us feel pressured into any particular choice. His caring approach and willingness to answer all of our questions made us feel comfortable. What stood out the most was the genuine sense of warmth and attentiveness he showed we never felt like just another number.

Great staff, Dr. Stephen is so gentle & patient, great with the kids. My kids actually *like* going to the dentist- because it’s not scary, but probably mostly because of the prizes & giant gumball machine with bouncy balls 😂. Fun colors, natural light and open spaces make it a calming environment for kids. They were accommodating with my neurodiverse kiddo who needed a procedure recently, giving us a “second chance” when the first appt didn’t go so well and working around his stuffie and iPad that he needed to get through it. We love Tailwinds! Would recommend them to anyone

We loved it here! The office itself is calm, open, airy and bright. The staff are wonderful with kids (mine are young and fickle so this counts a lot in my book) and they saw us right away. No waiting at all! The doctor took his time with us and managed to get all of my questions answered while my kiddos were distracted with a prize bouncy ball. We all left happy.

Update: My 3-year-old just had his second appointment at Tailwind. His first appointment, six months ago, was quick and really just to help familiarize him with the place and procedures. It really helped to alleviate his anxiety because the second round is the actual procedure. I was amazed at how excited my son was—he actually looked forward to playing with the toys in the lobby and getting a prize at the end. And he champed through it all! Afterwards he walked (not asked to be carried) out of the clinic, proudly, with his prize and new toothbrush. I was a proud mother too! The staff, dental hygienist, and dentist were also very friendly. I’m so grateful they didn’t rush my son. That first visit made such a huge difference. I’m so grateful I chose Tailwind for my son. I highly recommend Tailwind to parents questioning where to take their little ones, especially if they know their child(ren) has anxiety and/or a fear of strangers. This place definitely removes the worry from the parents and provides a safe and fun environment for the child(ren).

Switched to this practice after having a not-so-great experience at another pediatric dentist. The procedures that were ordered from the previous Dr. were deemed unnecessary which made me immediately trust this team. All 3 of my kids felt comfortable, not rushed and each got exactly what they needed.

Tailwind Pediatric Dentistry is incredible. My boys have a bit of anxiety around the dentist and the team at Tailwind makes it easy. We were just in for 2 fillings and were literally in and out in 11 minutes. The machine they use is incredibly fast and completely painless! My son was completely ready for his day after with no pain, no numbness or anything else. He kept saying, I can't believe they fixed my tooth with a laser!! I highly recommend them to anyone!

Gotta say this is a great pediatric dentist office. The only downside is the size of the parking lot and trying to turn in there some times but we go so rarely I can’t even be mad about that. But I figured no one would believe me if I didn’t touch on something specific. The people are great, the office is nice, everyone and thing is welcoming. Definitely recommend if you live in the area.

We've been bringing our daughter to Tailwind Pediatric since her first dentist appointment. She's still young (3 yo) and hesitant with the equipment, the dental hygienists are always so patient with her. The dentist knows her chart and gives practical feedback with each visit. Its a very relaxed atmosphere and the providers are all so considerate of the child's needs. Definitely glad we found them!

We love Tailwind Dentistry! We were referred there after multiple visits to Metro Dental where they couldn’t get X-rays of my young son’s teeth (using the trays/foam stuff, that he would gag on). Tailwind offers a totally different X-ray procedure and put my son at ease. He had gotten to the point where he was terrified of the dentist- after 2 visits at Tailwind, he now loves going. The staff is amazing with kids, all knowledgeable and a great experience each time. The office is inviting and my son likes that they offer a variety of small toys to pick from at the end of the visit. We highly recommend Tailwind Dentistry!

My daughter is very anxious, and has been hesitant and tearful both for X-rays and cleaning. They are so patient and kind with her, and do a great job of encouraging, but not pushing or pressuring her until she is ready. It's clear they want to set kids up for a lifetime of trusting the dentist to listen to them and respect them. If I could give them 6 out of 5 stars, I would.

My son’s first dental visit was a success! They were very kind, explained everything they were doing, and my son had the time of his life because the dentist was so nice to him and he got a toy on his way out. You can even schedule as early as 7:30am, so you don’t need to take time off of work for appointments.

Dr. Stephens is excellent. We switched clinics from another pediatric dentist because we needed a clinic to provide full sedation for our son who needed a lot of fillings. I cannot say enough good about the experiences we have had. The clinic is clean, organized, and efficient. Dr. Stephen’s has a kind and thoughtful bedside manner. He was originally a pilot prior to dental school (thus the name, Tailwinds) and his attention to detail through career choices shows. He is very fast and efficient when working on kids and his work is excellent. Thank you so much for taking great care of us!

Both my kids had their first dentist appointment here. My youngest was very nervous and didn’t want to come to the dentist. From the moment we stepped in the front door, the whole family was treated with such genuine warmth and welcome. By the time my oldest was getting his X-rays, the youngest was clambering up on the chair to be seen next. Everyone there shows respect and compassion for patients and parents alike, I look forward to taking my kids here again

Tailwind is by far the best pediatric dentist that we have experienced. The staff are calm, kind, knowledgeable, and encouraging.

They literally beg me to make them an appointment which helps me to remember to get it on the schedule :-) We used to live closer by but we still drive 35 minutes to Tailwind because the experiences that good.

They were also very cautious of his allergies, which I really appreciated. We will be back!

Making the appointment, completing paperwork online, and checking in were all easy peasey. Front desk staff was super nice. Everyone was taking all the Covid precautions possible which I very much appreciate. Monica, our hygienist, definitely has this thing with kids nailed down. She managed to get my 2.5 yr old to allow all of her teeth to be cleaned and flossed by just talking to her like another person and giving her lots of options. No using baby talk or puppets or anything over the top like that. The dentist was great at getting what needed done quickly, was really nice to both of us, and addressed my concerns and questions thoughtfully and honestly. Got a bouncy ball and was done in 25 min. Even with Covid I felt like we had a thorough and still fun time. She loved it. Can't ask for more than that!

My 6yo daughter needed 4 cavities filled. She has had 2 significant injuries to the mouth and is very sensitive to anything happening with her mouth. She is also feisty & strong-willed. We tried to take care of the fillings at our family dentist and we couldn't get it done. After 2 more visits (that didn't go well) for regular cleanings our original dentist asked us not to bring her back. We were referred to Tailwind. I wish I would have gone sooner! We went in for a consultation. Every person we encountered was lovely- reception and dental staff. They were patient, calm, and understanding. We made a plan and went back for the fillings. With a little gas and some noise canceling headphones all the teeth were taken care of in about 25 minutes. It was incredible. There were no struggles. I was completely impressed and will be taking my son there in the future as well. The staff is kind and genuinely cares about kids.

My daughter looks forward to going there for a month ahead of time! Everyone is so kind and gentle with her, and she loves her dentist. She was more excited to go here than to go to the zoo! Everyone is always very kind and friendly. Such a great place to go. :)

The staff are fabulous with the children! My 3.5 year old said “that was fun” upon leaving. They ease the children into each visit and help them to get comfortable and acclimate to the equipment and space! Would highly recommend Tailwind if looking for a pediatric dentist. Space is cozy, fun, clean, and welcoming!

Dr Stephens and his team are wonderful! The office is bright and cheery and you can tell they really love their jobs! Dr. Stephens approach to pediatric dental care is so valuable and I value and trust his knowledge! I would highly recommend this dental practice to anyone looking for pediatric care!

We chose this Pediatric Denistry because of it’s overwhelmingly positive reviews. Our dental assist and Dr. Taylor Stephens took fun and courteous care of my 3-year old son throughout our visit. Dr. Stephen had a kind, informative manner and his pediatric acumen was appreciatively received. I would recommend for you to bring your children to see this dentist.

We always have a great experience at Tailwind. The staff is very friendly and so good with kids. They do a good job of explaining the process to the little ones and adjusting to the child's comfort level during the cleaning and exam - for kids that might be anxious. We are able schedule both our kids for the same time and since our kids are young with limited dental issues, the appointments are pretty quick. Both kids look forward to their dental visits!

My almost 3 year old had her first dental visit yesterday. Everyone was so great with her! They were prepared and everyone from the receptionist to the dentist knew my daughter's name. As soon as we walked in the door, we were greeted by name. That may seem like it's not a big deal, but it's just one of the little things they do to make sure kids are comfortable there. They let her sit in my lap the whole time. They explained everything they were doing before they did it so she knew what to expect next. They directed all their questions to both of us instead of just asking me, which I really appreciated. We had a great experience! As we were leaving, my daughter said, "That was fun!".
