Dr. Ryan Reopelle and Dr. Hayley Parks are proud to serve our Roanoke community.
Our practice has been treating patients in Roanoke, Salem, Vinton, and the surrounding areas for more than 40 years. Our pediatric dentists are board-certified, meaning they adhere to the very highest level of standards for their specialty of treating children.
Pediatric dentistry is the only age-defined specialty recognized by the American Dental Association that provides both primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic care. We treat patients from infancy through adolescence and are well-versed in helping patients with special needs. Every child deserves a healthy and beautiful smile, and our doctors have the experience and compassion to ensure that happens.
Benefits of a Pediatric Dentist
Pediatric dentists are the dental equivalent of a pediatrician.
A pediatric dentist receives the same level of training as a general or family dentist and then spends 2-3 additional years of residency studying the unique needs of, development of, and treatment options for children. Pediatric dentists also receive training in the sedation options available for children and their administration. A pediatric dentist not only knows how to treat your child’s smile but also how to interact on their level in an environment designed specifically for children. Pediatric dentists receive extensive training in sedation techniques, behavior management/guidance, and treatment of children with special needs.
Parkway Pediatric Dentistry offers a variety of treatment options in a comforting and secure environment that caters solely to the needs of children and their parents. Our goal as a team is to:
- Promote excellent life-long dental habits
- Help children feel comfortable going to the dentist
- Improve and maintain your child’s oral health
- Assess growth and dental/jaw development
- Empower children to smile
