Laser Dentistry
Our advanced laser technology enables minimally invasive procedures that often eliminate the need for local anesthesia. This heat-free, vibration-free approach reduces discomfort and anxiety for young patients while maintaining precision in treatments. Parents appreciate the faster recovery times and reduced need for multiple visits.

This non-invasive treatment promotes proper dental arch development and addresses sleep-breathing issues through customized oral appliances. Designed for children aged 5-15, it helps create straighter smiles and improves overall health through better breathing patterns during sleep and development.
Frenectomy
Specialized treatment for tongue and lip ties affecting infants' feeding and speech development. Our pediatric dentists perform this quick procedure using laser technology to improve breastfeeding, eating, and speech capabilities with minimal discomfort.

Designed for children's first dental experience, our welcoming environment includes parent-approved entertainment and positive reinforcement techniques. The visit focuses on familiarization, basic cleaning, and parental guidance for maintaining oral health at home.

My child LOVES this place. He used to go to Super D and would always cry and was very scared. This place has changed his fear to dentist!

If I could give more stars I would. We just moved here and needed a dentist who had a special touch for our son. And wow I am blown away. From the minute you walk in the door you are welcomed. Then Taylor who cleaned and did my sons X-rays needs an award. Not only did she make him feel comfortable but she walked him through step by step on everything she did. Dr Dabir comes and is also great! At the end my son said this place is better than my last dentist!

That alone is saying alot! He loved his last dentist and now he loves Carlsbad Childrens Dentistry! Especially Taylor who we will see from now on! Thank you Carlsbad Childrens Dentistry! Taylor you are beyond amazing! You made my day! Thank you!

Took my two kids for an appt they scheduled at the same time. SEEMLESS. My 4yo has not let the dentist or assistants in his mouth in the past. This visit was great and he had no fears. Definitely attribute it to the amazing ladies that made both of my kids feel so comfortable

My 3 year old loves going to the dentist! Dr Dabir is so wonderful with children, and its very clear he truly cares about each and every one of his patients. Both of my kids were tongue and lip tied and he revised both with ease, expertise, and compassion. The entire staff is warm and friendly, and so great with kiddos. Well stick with CCD throughout all of childhood for our kids!

My daughter is autistic and had a lot of anxiety about her visit to the dentist. She didnt want to go at all and we agreed to just visit the office and practice sitting in the chair without doing a cleaning or exam. They were so accommodating and wonderful with her that after being in there for 5-10 min just talking and showing her the tools, she told us she actually did want to do her cleaning and exam. She was able to have her teeth cleaned and checked by the dentist because they made her feel so comfortable and relaxed. Such a great office with amazing staff.

Great great dentist. My toddler loves coming here! Staff and doctor are very nice. The only thing I don't like is that after my daughter turns 4 they will transfer her to Mira Mesa. Which is like an hour from where I live.

My 8 yo grandniece broke her permanent lower incisor and Dr. Dabir restored it amazingly. It was a perfect experience for my visiting grandniece from the Philippines, she was very comfortable. All his staff are very nice, friendly and professional. Thank you very much Dr. Dabir, you made her smile back again and now she can enjoy her favorite foods here in the US and no more tears. God bless you all

Love Dr. Dabir and his staff. Always go out of their way to make a shy 4 year old feel extra comfortable. Time during routine checkups never feel rushed with Dr. Dabir as he makes plenty of time to answer any questions and make sure everything is in good order. Honestly wish my adult dentist was as thorough as Carlsbad Childrens Dentistry.

We were visiting from out of town and our little guy fell and needed to get checked out. They got us in within a few hours and made the experience lovely! Definitely recommend!

We have always had a great experience so Im not sure what happened today. Our oral technician was great, very friendly, and well versed in her technique. After she finished, she said the dentist will be in shortly; unfortunately after waiting 35 minutes without being seen or informed of the delay, we chose to leave. It appeared that the dentist there was with one patient for that 35 minute period, poor time management. Dr Dabir was on his day off so perhaps his absence was the source of this issue.

Dr. Dabir has been my kid's dentist for the past decade, and I can't speak highly enough about our experience. We found Dr. Dabir to be calm, patient, and very good. Aside from the normal cleanings and fillings, he navigated us through multiple tooth pullings for orthodontics, and what could have been frightening became just another visit. The offices are bright, clean, and kid friendly, including televisions on the ceilings. My kids are adults now, so we're moving to another dentist, but I will always be grateful for the service that Dr. Dabir provided.
