Excellence in Care, Wrapped in Compassion
Why Choose Us | Pediatric Dentist in Sammamish, WA
We know that as a parent, you have many options when choosing a healthcare provider for your child. You aren’t just looking for someone to clean teeth; you are looking for a partner in your child’s health—someone who will treat them with kindness, patience, and the highest level of clinical skill.
At Nurture Kids Dentistry, we are proud to be the dental home for families in Sammamish, Issaquah, Redmond, and Bellevue. Here is why parents trust Dr. Ketan Jumani and our team with their children’s smiles.
Board-Certified Pediatric Expertise
Not Just a Dentist—A Specialist
Did you know that not all dentists who see children are pediatric specialists? Dr. Ketan Jumani is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
- What this means for you: After general dental school, Dr. Jumani completed two additional years of rigorous residency training focused exclusively on the oral health, development, and psychology of children.
- The Result: Whether your child needs a simple cleaning, complex restorative work, or care for a dental trauma, you can rest assured they are in the hands of a highly trained expert.
A "Safety-First" Approach to Technology
Modern Tools for Gentle Care
We invest in the latest dental technology to ensure your child’s safety and comfort. We believe in being minimally invasive and maximally careful.
- Digital Low-Radiation X-Rays: We use advanced digital sensors that reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film.
- Biocompatible Materials: We are a mercury-free practice. We offer Zirconia (white) crowns and BPA-free composite fillings, ensuring that the materials in your child’s mouth are safe and natural-looking.
- Hospital-Grade Sterilization: Your safety is non-negotiable. We adhere to and exceed the strictest sterilization protocols set by the CDC and OSHA.
Parents Are Partners, Not Bystanders
Transparency You Can Trust
We believe that an informed parent is the best advocate for a child’s health.
- You Are Welcome in the Back: We have an "open door" policy. You are always welcome to accompany your child into the treatment area for reassurance.
- Education Over Dictation: Dr. Jumani takes the time to explain every diagnosis. We show you the X-rays and discuss all options—including conservative monitoring—so you never feel pressured into treatment.
- No Surprises: From treatment plans to financial estimates, we believe in total transparency.
Inclusive Care for Special Needs
A Dental Home for Everyone
We are honored to serve patients with physical, developmental, cognitive, and sensory challenges.
- Sensory-Friendly: We offer a calm environment and can adjust lighting or sound to suit your child’s sensitivities.
- Customized Approaches: Dr. Jumani is specially trained to adapt his techniques to your child’s unique needs, ensuring a safe and positive experience.
- Desensitization Visits: For anxious children or those with sensory processing disorders, we offer "happy visits" to help them get used to the sights and sounds of the office before any work is done.
Schedules Built for Busy Families
Efficient Scheduling for Busy Families
We know your time is valuable, so we have designed our scheduling to be as seamless as possible.
- Family Block Appointments: Have more than one child? We can often schedule siblings back-to-back or at the same time to save you a trip!
- On-Time Appointments: We pride ourselves on running on schedule so you aren't left waiting in the lobby.
- Consistent Hours: We are open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, providing reliable care throughout the work week.
Fun, Not Fear!
Creating Positive Associations
Our goal is to raise a generation of children who like going to the dentist.
- Kid-Centric Design: Our office features a fun play area, TVs above the dental chairs so kids can watch their favorite cartoons, and a prize box for a job well done.
- The "Tell-Show-Do" Technique: We explain what we are going to do in kid-friendly language ("Mr. Thirsty," "Sleepy Juice"), show them the tool on their finger, and then do the procedure. This eliminates fear of the unknown.
