On Feb. 6, 2013, Drs. Mauseth, Pham and Grant opened the doors of 4S Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics to local families. “We look forward to being a contributing member of this extraordinary community,” said Dr. Chris Pham. The office is a child-focused practice, with a warm, friendly and professional atmosphere. The practice offers features such as stroller-friendly areas, headsets at each dental chair and flat-mounted TVs for children to enjoy during their visit. In addition, the office embraces technology that makes the patient experience more comfortable and less invasive, including child-size X-rays and child-friendly instruments and equipment.
Drs. Pham and Grant also have practices in Carmel Valley (Carmel Valley Pediatric Dentistry) that opened in 2006. According to Dr. Pham, having two specialties at the same location offers parents more convenience and flexibility when scheduling their appointments, as well as the ability to provide a higher level of comprehensive dental care. Drs. Mauseth, Pham and Grant are also dedicated to educating their patients and their parents in preventative oral health care. “We consider all appropriate treatment options and try to present the most conservative plans when possible,” related Dr. Pham.
All three doctors are excited to offer the same comprehensive approach to children’s dental care in the community of 4S Ranch. “We have always appreciated the time our families have taken to travel to Carmel Valley. We are proud to be able to extend the same great values of the Carmel Valley practice to the convenient 4S Ranch location,” stated Dr. Pham.
