“Once Upon a Smile Pediatric Dentistry is a true 5-star gem for families!”
At Once Upon A Smile, we believe a dental visit should feel less like an appointment—and more like stepping into the pages of a storybook. As Northwest Chicagoland’s premier pediatric dental practice, we’ve created a world where cloud-filled ceilings, moonlit murals, and story-themed treatment rooms transform routine checkups into memorable adventures. From the moment your child walks through our doors, they’re greeted with warmth and guided by a compassionate team every step of the way. Here, fear fades, confidence grows, and every visit ends with a smile and a happily ever after.
Each of our services are designed with your child’s comfort and well‑being in mind:
From routine checkups and cleanings to digital X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants, oral cancer screenings, and emergency evaluations—we offer comprehensive preventive care tailored to growing smiles. Our goal? To keep your child’s teeth strong and healthy, one visit at a time.
Whether it’s a tooth colored filling, pulpotomy (baby root canal), stainless steel crown or extraction, our restorative treatments are designed to bring back function, comfort and confidence- delivered with gentle age- appropriate care.
For children who need a little extra support, we offer safe and effective sedation options—including nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and hospital-based general anesthesia at St. Alexius Medical Center. These sedation choices help ensure a calm, comfortable experience—so every child can feel at ease during their care
Minimally Invasive Options: Treatments—like silver diamine fluoride and the Hall crown technique—help stop early decay without drilling, preserving your child’s natural tooth structure whenever possible. Our goal? To avoid more extensive treatments which means less discomfort leading to a more positive dental experience.
“Dr. Sharon Varghese and her staff are great overall!
The office is amazing, professional and very child-friendly.”
