At Elite Pediatric Denistry, Dr. Femme Ambrosio and her staff strive to create a child-friendly and comfortable atmosphere for patients and their families. “We are focused on providing personalized, quality care in a supportive, informative and nurturing manner at each and every visit,” explained Dr. Ambrosio.

According to Dr. Ambrosio, having a boutique, or small-scale, practice allows her to spend the time necessary to ensure that children and parents have a positive experience and receive the best possible care. She understands that each child is unique and must be treated as such, which is an important aspect of a child’s overall health. “Our patient and caring staff understands that it is important to get to know each child individually and time must be spent with both them and their family during each visit. The goal is to establish a trusting relationship that leads to easier dental visits and better oral health.”

Elite Pediatric Dentistry provides comprehensive dental care to infants, children, young adults and those with special healthcare needs. The practice is focused on preventive care, including establishing a ‘Dental Home’ with check-ups and cleaning visits, oral hygiene evaluation and education. Dr. Ambrosio states that appropriate restorative care is key in dentistry when it comes to dental disease or injury. “We tailor a treatment plan according to the child’s needs, emphasizing in preventative oral health measures. We only treat what is necessary and believe in ideal, yet conservative, dental treatment,” declared Dr. Ambrosio.

We recognize that your child is no ordinary child. We set out to provide extraordinary care with integrity, honesty and compassion.”

Opening this summer in the new 4S Health Center on Dove Canyon Road, a significant aspect of creating a welcoming environment is the lay-out of the office space itself. “A lot of thought and consideration was put into the planning of the practice. By providing private treatment rooms, we hope to create a comfortable setting for families,”related Dr. Ambrosio. The office is an esthetically modern environment that is inviting to children of all ages as well as parents.

For Dr. Ambrosio and her staff staying up-to-date on technology is a vital part of assessing and delivering complete oral health. For example, the office has child-size digital x-ray equipment, as well as a computer-controlled single tooth anesthesia unit that increases patient comfort. A children’s reception area with books and games, overhead flat-screen monitors and a prize wheel allow for a fun experience for the child.

Dr. Ambrosio is a native San Diegan and a mother, both of which she feels serve her well in her practice. “I always wanted to establish roots in my hometown and have a positive influence in my community. Becoming a mother has given me a greater understanding in many facets of my life. I can relate to parents and recognize the importance of an honest and trusting relationship with every member of the family,” stated Dr. Ambrosio.
