Dr. Lopez 
Growing Healthy Smiles & Minds Starts with Every Breath

Looking beyond the teeth to care for the whole child

At Shadelands Pediatric Dentistry, we believe that a healthy smile is part of a healthy child—body, mind, and airway. That’s why Dr. Lopez and our team take an integrative dentistry approach, considering the full picture of your child’s health when delivering care.

Integrative dentistry means we look beyond just teeth. We consider factors like breathing patterns, sleep quality, oral habits, nutrition, and growth development to understand how they may be impacting your child’s dental health. Whether we’re evaluating for cavities, tongue ties, or orthodontic needs, we tailor our care to support the whole child, not just their smile.

By combining the latest pediatric dental techniques with a thoughtful, body-aware philosophy, we help families feel confident they’re getting care that supports long-term wellness.

Ashley R.

We love coming here. All of the Staff and Doctors are helpful and create a safe space for my kids to feel comfortable going to the dentist. They always make sure to explain everything before it happens which is a tremendous help for my kids.

The best dentist office EVER!!! All three of my sons have gone here for years and we have nothing but positive experiences to talk about. The front desk staff, the hygienists and OF COURSE Dr Lopez!!! If I could give 6 stars I would!

 Katie H.

"Professional and kind staff. They were so patient with my two year old who was getting his first teeth cleaning (and was not happy about it). Toys and video screen in cleaning area were helpful distractions. Helpful tips for brushing a young child's teeth. "

Caitlin B

Dr Lopez was fantastic. They were very warm, caring and professional from the time we walked in for the appointment. My child felt comfortable and cared for. Her expertise was evident and the problem addressed quickly. So happy we switched to Shadelands Pediatric Dentistry!

My son absolutely loved his experience here! They have excellent equipment compared to where we have been going. The place is super clean and the dentist and staff was so incredibly sweet. I left there feeling relieved to have found a great dentist that is very knowledgeable for my kids to continue going to and the best part of all is that my son is happy!

Valarie D

I was impressed with everyone I met. They matched his energy and prepared him for each step of the cleaning and inspection by talking to him at exactly his age level and demonstrating on his fingers. He happily cooperated and was comforted by staying in my arms for the treatment.
