We know the dentist can feel big and unfamiliar to a child, and that as a parent, you just want them to feel safe. That's why every inch of Brave Kids Dental Co. in Sandy, UT was designed with one question in mind: how does this feel to a kid walking in for the first time?

A space that feels calm from the front door

• A ceiling that curves like a gentle wave, with soft lighting instead of harsh overheads
• Sea turtles swimming across the floor, welcoming kids in and guiding them from the front door to the front desk
• Warm wood, calm blues and rounded seating, with no sharp corners anywhere
• A cozy nook for kids who need a quieter moment
• Sandy waiting on the wall to say hi

Montessori-inspired, from start to finish

Our whole approach is Montessori-inspired. We introduce tools in simple, hands-on ways, explain what to expect, and offer choices so kids build confidence at their own pace. A little control goes a long way for a nervous child.

For children with special needs, we adapt that approach to their communication, sensory preferences and abilities, with patience and support. Every child is welcome here, and no diagnosis is needed for extra support.

Sensory-friendly comfort in every room

In our treatment rooms, kids can watch TVs on the ceiling, soften dental sounds with noise-reducing headphones and settle in under a weighted lap pad. We also use a thin, flexible X-ray system that's much more comfortable for small mouths than bulky sensors.

Comfortable for parents, too

Calm for the nervous ones, fun for the curious ones, and comfortable for the parents right beside them. You're part of the team here, and you'll always know what we're doing and why. Want to know who built it all? Meet Dr. Vy.
