Pediatric Dentistry in Valparaiso, IN

At Dunes Dental Studio, we believe great dental habits start young. That’s why Dr. Heather Hradek welcomes children as early as age one — creating a positive, comfortable experience from their very first tooth.

Whether it’s a lap-to-lap exam for a toddler or a cleaning for your teenager, we’re here to help your whole family smile with confidence.

We Treat Kids Like Family

Dr. Heather is a mom herself, so she knows how important it is for kids to feel safe and seen at the dentist. From the moment your child walks in, we focus on building trust, using kid-friendly language, and making each visit as relaxed and fun as possible.

We’re proud to be a general practice that genuinely loves seeing kids — and we often collaborate with pediatricians in the Valparaiso area to support families with early dental visits and education.

What to Expect at Your Child’s Visit

Every child is different — and we tailor our approach to fit their personality and age. Whether it’s their first time or their fifth, we take our time and explain everything in a way that helps them feel comfortable.

Our pediatric services include:

  • Lap-to-lap exams for infants and toddlers
  • Cleanings and checkups
  • Fluoride treatments
  • Sealants for cavity prevention
  • Silver diamine fluoride and SMART restorations for early decay
  • Gentle fillings if needed
