Sometimes an injury during the infant years causes the primary (or baby) front teeth incisors to exfoliate sooner than expected, this may result in the adult front teeth or central incisors having difficulty erupting through the dense and thick gum tissue. This could lead to a significant delay in the eruption of one or both of the front incisors. This presentation can be unsightly for some children and can cause further tooth development disturbances such as teeth wanting to erupt at an angle or coming in misaligned.

Reviews From Our Families

  • WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE DR. VALI & HIS TEAM.

    Dr. Vali and his staff have truly gone above and beyond for my children. When my daughter needed emergency oral surgery, Dr. Vali personally responded to my email over the weekend and made sure she was seen first thing that week. The level of care, responsiveness, and compassion we experienced meant so much to our family. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend his practice.

  • WE LOVE DR. VALI AND ALL OF HIS WONDERFUL EMPLOYEES.

    Been coming to this office for around 13 years. That alone says it all. My children have never left here feeling any type of pain/disconfort. Dr. Vali wasn't even in our dental plan, but we honestly wouldn't go anywhere else. Thankfully he's in network now with our plan. Either way this is the only office we trust and love.

  • WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE DR. VALI & HIS TEAM.

    We've been seeing Dr. Vali for over 9 years and couldn't be happier with our care. The hygienists are all patient, friendly, and warm with our 3 children. Dr. Vali is very careful and thorough with his exams & recently diagnosed an infection in my daughter's mouth that her orthodontist had missed. As a bonus, the office is beautifully decorated!
