Children's dentistry is about more than checking teeth. It's about building a positive relationship with dental care from the very first visit, so your kids grow up feeling confident instead of fearful. At Luka Dental Care in London, our team makes every visit feel safe, calm, and stress-free for children of all ages.
We see kids from across London, Hyde Park, Masonville, Westmount, Byron, and Sunningdale. From toddlers in for their first checkup to teenagers preparing for braces, our gentle approach helps children relax while parents get straight answers about what their child needs and why.
A gentle, no-pressure introduction to dental care that helps your child feel comfortable, curious, and confident from day one.
Routine kids' cleanings and checkups that catch issues early, build healthy habits, and keep little smiles strong.
Quick, painless fluoride applications that strengthen developing enamel and help protect against cavities between visits.
Thin protective coatings that shield the deep grooves of back teeth, where kids are most prone to decay.
A proactive, age-appropriate plan to keep cavities out of your child's mouth and avoid bigger problems down the road.
Early dental care does more than catch cavities. It shapes how your child feels about dentists for the rest of their life. Strong habits, healthy teeth, and a comfortable relationship with the dental chair all start in childhood, and the right care now sets your kids up for a lifetime of confident smiles.

First time bringing your child to the dentist, or switching practices? Here's what a typical kids' visit looks like at Luka Dental Care, so both you and your child know what's coming.
Our team meets your child at their level, explains everything in kid-friendly words, and lets them explore the chair before treatment begins.
A careful look at your child's teeth, gums, and bite, with breaks built in if your child needs a moment.
Low-radiation digital X-rays taken only when there's a clinical reason, never as a default. We explain why before we take any image.
A light, careful cleaning followed by a smooth polish that most kids actually enjoy.
Clear explanations of what we found, what (if anything) needs treatment, and what you can do at home.
Dr. Rand Luka and Dr. Alyson (Aly) Kohlmeier bring years of experience, advanced training, and a people-first mindset to every appointment. With children, that means patience, kindness, and never rushing a nervous kid through a procedure they aren't ready for. Your child will see the same friendly faces visit after visit, building real trust over time.
At Luka Dental Care, we use technology to make your child's visit easier, not more complicated. Our digital scanners eliminate the need for goopy trays by comfortably capturing a 3D image of your child's teeth, while our digital X-rays produce faster, cleaner images with lower radiation. With an in-house lab, we can design and fabricate many restorations like fillings, night guards, or crowns right on site, often in the same day. That means fewer appointments, better fits, and a smoother experience for kids who want to be in and out fast.

The Canadian Dental Association recommends a child's first dental visit by age 1, or within 6 months of their first tooth coming in. These early visits are short, gentle, and focused on getting your child comfortable, not on treatment. They also give parents a chance to ask questions about teething, brushing, and feeding habits.
Dental fear is common, especially after a tough experience. Our team slows things down, explains every step, and uses age-appropriate language to help kids feel safe. We build in breaks, let kids bring a stuffed animal or favourite toy to the appointment, and never push a procedure forward if a child isn't ready. Most kids who come in nervous leave more confident than when they arrived.
Yes. Modern digital X-rays use a small fraction of the radiation older film equipment used, and we only take them when there's a clinical reason. We never use X-rays as a default, and we always explain why before taking any image.
Baby teeth play a bigger role than most parents realize. They guide permanent teeth into position, support proper speech development, and let your child eat and chew normally. Losing them too early or letting decay go untreated can cause problems that follow your child into adulthood.
Yes. We provide general dentistry for families and see patients of all ages, from toddlers to grandparents. Many London families book back-to-back appointments so everyone is seen in a single visit, which saves parents a lot of time and coordination. Ready to bring your kids in?
