About Great Grins Children's Dentistry
Great Grins Children's Dentistry is a Tucson pediatric dental practice serving infants, children, adolescents, and teens. Located near the Rillito River, the office was started by husband and wife Dr. Kedar S. Lele and Dr. Angela M. Wolfman when they purchased the practice in November 2005. Their work centers on helping young patients build healthy habits and feel safe during dental care, from early visits through the teenage years.
Dr. Lele and Dr. Wolfman are Diplomates of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and continue their education to keep up with advances in pediatric dentistry. Their training includes the care of children and adolescents, as well as infants. Great Grins also holds an Arizona permit for oral sedation, and both doctors are part of the hospital staff at Tucson Medical Center. The practice describes their shared goal as making each child's dental visit comfortable and fun while providing attentive care for changing dental needs.
The office provides pediatric dentistry, preventive dentistry, restorative dentistry, and sedation dentistry. Preventive care is intended to help children avoid future dental problems while learning good hygiene habits. Restorative care addresses dental disease and other issues that can affect even young patients. Sedation dentistry may be used to temporarily put a child to sleep or numb areas receiving treatment. The practice also offers a range of payment options and works with a variety of insurance plans, including Delta Dental, United Healthcare, MetLife, Cigna, and Aetna.
Great Grins places particular emphasis on the way care is introduced and explained. The doctors and staff take time to understand each patient and the needs of each family, while explaining necessary treatments so parents can make informed decisions. The practice describes its staff as friendly, respectful, and professional without being stuffy. Its bright, modern office uses cheerful, sporty decor to create a welcoming setting, and the team aims to help children feel comfortable rather than intimidated by a dental visit. Office mascots Jax, Milo, and Andi are also part of the practice's child-focused environment.
Teamwork is central to the way Great Grins operates. The doctors rely on their caring and dedicated staff to support pediatric patients with a variety of needs, and the entire team shares a focus on children's health and positive experiences. Families reviewing the practice have specifically noted staff members' efforts to explain procedures in ways children can understand, answer parents' questions, and help young patients feel at ease. Reviews also mention features such as movies, toothbrushes, and toys that can make a first or routine visit more approachable.
