About Our Waterford Pediatric Dental Office
An Appointment Your Child Will Love to Go To
At Son Shine Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Joe and our team provide care that’s from the heart. We’re experts at making kids laugh, smile, and have fun, and wonderful when it comes to educating you and your child about their growing smile. We invite you to learn a little bit about our pediatric dental office in Waterford and what makes us so unique below. If you feel inspired by our values, give us a call to schedule your child’s first visit with us!
Why Is Our Office Named Son Shine Pediatric Dentistry?
Our practice is dedicated to Dr. Joe and his wife, Meagan’s late son, Samson Shine DiBenedetto. For the brief and beautiful moment that he was in the world, he was a ray of sunshine that inspired us to care for every child who needs it, helping them smile bigger and brighter every day.
A Mindful, Fun-Loving Pediatric Dentist
Dr. Joe is a playful, fun-loving pediatric dentist and basketball enthusiast who is passionate about helping children get excited about not only visiting the dentist, but also learning about their smiles. His personality and ability to make people smile helps even the most nervous little ones feel right at home!
Calm, Gentle & Comfortable Care
The dentist’s office has a reputation for being cold, sterile, and filled with pressure, but not Son Shine Pediatric Dentistry. Our office is warm and welcoming, and Dr. Joe’s ethos of never wasting parents’ time and precious energy makes our practice a favorite among both parents and children.
Welcoming, Kid-Friendly Environment
We specialize in treating children as young as infants and as old as 18, which is why our office is designed with children in mind! From a fun arcade basketball hoop in the lobby to naturally calming and welcoming colors, parents are able to relax and children get to safely play and explore!
For the Community, By the Community
Dr. Joe and his wife love their community, which is why our practice always strives to give back to Waterford, Erie, and the nearby areas wherever we can. Dr. Joe participates in Give Kids a Smile and Mission of Mercy, and our team is always looking for new, local events and organizations to be a part of.
We Accept Dental Insurance & Medicaid
Our goal is to make high-quality pediatric dental care as accessible as possible, which is why our practice is in-network with most major dental insurance plans and accepts Medicaid. If you have concerns about a high out-of-pocket expense or the cost of a particular dental treatment, never hesitate to speak to Dr. Joe or our team about it. We believe that the kids always come first!
