Finding a pediatric dentist in Inwood who truly understands your child’s needs and your family’s values makes all the difference in establishing lifelong healthy dental habits. At Open Bright Pediatric Dentistry, we’ve created a practice that resonates with Inwood’s unique character—combining our clinical expertise with a deep appreciation for the neighborhood’s strong sense of community, parkland beauty, and family-centered lifestyle.
Dr. Laurie leads our team with a commitment to providing personalized care that puts children at ease while giving parents confidence in their child’s dental health journey. With experience as both an educator and former residency program director, she brings advanced clinical skills alongside a genuine passion for connecting with families from throughout Inwood and creating positive dental experiences for children of all ages.
Our practice offers a complete range of dental services designed specifically for growing smiles, from their very first tooth through adolescence:
Prevention forms the foundation of pediatric dental health, and we make preventative visits engaging and educational experiences:
We understand that Inwood parents value both clinical excellence and a caring approach. Our preventative program delivers both, combining thorough care with the kind of warm, patient interaction that helps children develop positive associations with dental visits.
When children need restorative treatments, our gentle, child-centered approach ensures they remain comfortable throughout their visit:
Each treatment plan is developed with careful attention to your child’s specific needs and comfort level. We explain procedures using child-friendly language and techniques, ensuring both parents and children feel prepared and confident.
Inwood families appreciate our ability to address specialized pediatric dental needs right in the neighborhood:
Dr. Laurie has extensive experience with diverse pediatric dental needs, allowing Inwood families to access specialized care without traveling outside their community.
For children with special healthcare needs, significant anxiety, or complex treatment requirements, we offer IV sedation in our office. This service provides a safe, controlled environment for completing necessary dental work while ensuring your child’s physical and emotional comfort.
Our sedation protocols are designed with safety as our highest priority. Dr. Laurie personally oversees all sedation cases and will thoroughly discuss all options with you before developing a personalized approach for your child.

From the moment your family enters our office, you’ll notice our commitment to creating a space where children feel welcome and engaged:
We understand that a child’s perception of dental visits is formed early, which is why we’ve created an environment where dental care feels like a positive experience rather than something to fear.
