Where are your offices located?

Our South Jordan office is right next to Costco, and our Lehi office is right next to Smith’s. Easy access, tons of parking, and super convenient for busy families.

Are you doctor-owned or corporate?

Peak Pediatric Dentistry is 100% doctor-owned. Dr. Austin is personally involved in every part of your child’s care. No corporate patient mill—just honest, consistent care from someone you can trust.

What makes Peak Pediatric Dentistry different?

We keep things simple: gentle care, clear communication, and no gimmicks. Your child gets the same doctor every visit, and you’ll never feel rushed or pressured.

Do you take emergencies or same-day appointments?

Yes. We save time every day for emergencies like toothaches, fractures, infections, and trauma. Call us and we’ll get your child in fast.

Does the water in Utah make cavities worse for kids?

Utah water doesn’t have ideal fluoride levels, but topical fluoride works far better than drinking it. We’ll guide you on exactly what your child needs.

When should my child first see a dentist?

By age one, or within six months of the first tooth. Early visits prevent problems and keep things simple.

How often should kids go to the dentist?

Every six months—more often if they're cavity-prone.

Do baby teeth matter even though they fall out?

Baby teeth matter for eating, speech, and holding space for adult teeth. We only fix teeth that actually benefit your child—if it's about to fall out, we leave it alone.

What if my child is anxious or scared?

Totally normal. We use a gentle approach, explain things in kid-friendly terms, and give your child control whenever possible.

Do you offer laughing gas?

Yes, we use it every day. It helps kids relax and it wears off quickly.

Are your fillings really shot-free?

Yep. For many cavities, we avoid shots entirely by keeping the tooth cool with a diamond bur and using medicated materials that prevent sensitivity.

What type of fillings do you use?

We use only tooth-colored, BPA-free materials.

How can I prevent cavities at home?

Brush twice a day, floss nightly, use fluoride toothpaste, and limit frequent snacking and sugary drinks.

Is fluoride safe for my child?

Yes. Topical fluoride is extremely safe and the most effective way to prevent cavities.

Does my child need dental X-rays?

Only when necessary. We use ultra-low-dose digital X-rays and minimize exposure.

When should my child get an orthodontic evaluation?

Age 7 is ideal so we can spot issues early and avoid more complex treatment later.

Do you treat tongue or lip ties?

Yes. We use a gentle laser to release ties affecting nursing, speech, or function.

Do you place pediatric crowns?

When a tooth has a deep cavity, a crown protects it until it naturally falls out.

Sealants protect the chewing surfaces of molars and are one of the easiest ways to prevent cavities.

What should I do for a chipped or broken tooth?

Call us right away. Save the piece if possible. We can usually repair fractures beautifully.

Do you accept my insurance?

We accept many insurance plans and help maximize your benefits. Call us and we’ll verify your coverage.

What if we don't have dental insurance?

We offer transparent pricing and flexible options so every child can get the care they need.

Will my child need sedation dentistry?

Most kids don’t. If they do, we offer safe options from laughing gas to IV sedation.

Do you treat special-needs children?

Absolutely. We tailor every visit to your child's needs and pace.

Do you recommend whitening for kids or teens?

For teens, whitening is often safe — we just make sure enamel is healthy first.

Dr. Austin and his team are the best. I like that he has a big enough staff so all four of my children can get their teeth cleaned, making the appointment very efficient. The office itself is bright and cheerful, and my kids actually look forward to going. Dr. Austin has a more wholistic approach to dental work – something I haven’t encountered before. He looks at various factors and how those aspects can affect oral health. I had an issue with my insurance and he generously offered to let us keep our appointment since he knew it wasn’t easy to get my kids there. As a father of four young children, he is understanding and empathetic. I highly recommend Peak.

Dr. Austin has been great working with our 8yo who has autism and adhd. He is very understanding of these disabilities. Today our son was able to have dental work done for the first time without anesthesia! This saved us hundreds of dollars. Our son did great.

Thank you for the great visit! You’re all great with kids and understanding that our 2 year old is still terrified of dentist visits. We appreciate your respect for our treatment preferences and the practical advice to improve teeth and jaw health.
