Weideman Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

Best pediatric dentist ever! Staff is so friendly and professional. Amazing waiting areas to keep kids happy and occupied. My 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son are always super comfortable at Weideman’s and leave with smiles after painless experiences — and awesome stickers and toys for doing a great job :) Highly recommend!

These people are really good. My niece needed cavities, and every dentist wanted to put her under anesthesia, which was never going to happen. But their teeth needed to be fixed, so I found a review here of someone going through the same thing and I made an appointment. My niece loved the place, and instead of putting her out, they were going to give her laughing gas. The entire process had its happy and sad moments, but the people there did everything they could to make her feel comfortable. The place can be pricey but you get what you pay for.

Wow… I love this dental office. First time bringing in my 3 year old son. Dr. Chris is super nice and gentle, the staff is very attentive. They have a lot of games and toys for the kids to play with. Love the fact that most of their charting is paperless. Their pricing is very reasonable. I wish they were closer to me but its ok I don’t mind the half hour drive. I’m happy when my son is being taken care of. I will definitely come back and tell everyone about this office

Great dentist! My son has been coming here since he was 5. Very accommodating financially for braces.

This pediatric dentist office is amazing. It’s very clean and spectacularly decorated for children. The staff is very friendly and wait time is very short.
My 11 year old son has been here 4 times for cleanings and fillings. The doctors were young, fun and very knowledgeable, and very good with the kids.
Again the office atmosphere is amazing, the exam tables are surfboards and the entire interior is completely ocean themed.
The reason for the 4 stars: the old saying «you get what you pay for» is very true. All work is very expensive and there are many things added on to the services that cost extra and that you don’t need. But… the staff does not tell you that. One of the doctors made me feel as if I was doing a disservice to my son when I refused to fill one of his baby teeth that was set to fall out within 6 months.
This is my issue with most dentists, it’s no different here, just be sure to question all charges and assess what is necessary or you will leave with an empty bank account. Plus, even the best insurance coverage doesn’t cover much.

My grandkids have come from LA twice just to have their exams here. Everyone is not only so warm & friendly but extremely professional. We never felt rushed & they were so thorough. The children loved the facility which is super kid friendly. I wish I could go there!

Best dentist office ever! I came here as a kid and my kids can’t wait to start coming! Love this place!!!

Dr Weideman Cindy is an outstanding dentist!!! very professional and caring person! I love her and my son is simply in love with her. I would give their office 10 stars if possible

I went to this dentist from age 5 to 18. I loved Dr. Mike and Dr. Cindy was great too. I had a bad experience with another childrens dentist in the area prior to going here. My mom took me all over trying to find a new dentist where I felt comfortable and I chose this one. They really helped me over come my fears and I always loved going. The staff is fantastic. I never had one bad experience and I’ve had a lot of dental work. They always let my sister hold my hand or come with me. I can’t say enough good things about this office. I loved them so much, my mom begged them to see me one last time after I turned 18. I do remember my mom saying they were expensive but we thought it was worth it for the excellent care. I grew up going here and absolutely loved it. Great place for kids.

Love how the staff can get to the kids level and not be intimidating. Knowledgeable staff who can explain the procedures on layman’s term. Kids love the children friendly surroundings. They have everything from video games to movies to keep the kids calm and distracted. The only downside is that they are pretty far from where we live (we live in the Natomas Park area).

Just had our first visit yesterday! We had a very good experience. The staff was extremely friendly. My toddler didn’t even know he was in a dentist office. Sooooo many toys, books, video games, and fun stuff for the kiddos! Dr Chris was super friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this dental office.

We took our 2 year old daughter for her 1^st check-​up today and we had a «GREAT EXPERIENCE!» Everyone is so kid friendly, my daughter loves this place and so do we! We saw Dr. Tommy he’s wonderful, patient, cheery, funny and gentle. His assistant is also great, she’s a sweetheart and explains everything well. I wish I remembered her name. The two of them sang to our little girl while they were examining her. They are so warm & caring. The office is decorated so cute it’s such a fun place to be and there’s a treasure chest that the kids get to choose a toy from on the way out. This is an awesome place! We left happy! We found our angels new dentist! :-) :-) :-) :-)

These guys are not up front on their pricing and cannot be trusted. It’s no wonder they were so nice to me, they were draining my yearly insurance allowance without me knowing it. Don’t get me wrong, these are very nice people, they just have a way of charging my insurance in excess of what I have experienced at other dental offices and they are not upfront about it. Buyer beware, ask lots of questions and know what they are charging before you get scammed.”

We have been taking our children to this dental practice for 13 years. My daughter has now officially aged out of pediatrics, but still enjoys coming here and seeing Dr. Jeff for her dental treatment. Their clinic is carefully designed to help children feel comfortable going to the dentist. They have television screens above each treatment chair and provide headphones for audio and sunglasses to help shade their eyes from the bright lights. There are video games to occupy the children while waiting for their appointments and treasure chests of prizes to choose from afterwards. Parents are welcome to follow their children back to the treatment area, where they have chairs set up along the perimeter. Their staff is very compassionate towards their pediatric patients and do a great job helping children (and teenagers) relax and be comfortable during their procedures.
The billing staff is very knowledgeable about the different dental insurance providers and benefits. However, even with great insurance, you will still have a significant out of pocket expense for moderate treatment. They are very straight forward about procedural costs and provide pre-​treatment estimates to help financially budget.
My best advice to avoid such expensive treatment is to make sure your children always floss between their teeth if they have braces! Mine were not consistent with doing so, which has led to very expensive follow-​up treatment to fill all of the cavities that developed between their back teeth.

Very nice office, decent service. However they’re very expensive, I just thought it was because it’s a very kids friendly place with movies, video games and such, but I changed to another dental office with all the same kid friendly features, and I was pleasantly surprised in the fact that I didn’t have any out of pocket expenses for any of my kids’ appointments. That never happened at Weidman, save your money and shop around, they are not the only kids friendly dentists out there.

Dr Jeff Sue is great with kids

We have been coming to Weideman Pediatic Dentistry and Dr. Cindy since my older son first turned one. The best practices now are to take your child to the dentist by either their first tooth or their first birthday, so that is what we adhere to. Mostly the first year is spent just checking the child’s tooth growth and educating the parent on the proper oral care behaviors. After they turn two is when they start doing cleanings and x-​rays.
My boys enjoy coming to the dentist because the office is really set up to cater to kids. Animated movies playing on the walls and in the ceiling (for while they are being worked on), play structures, a video game nook and toys. They are also really good at explaining everything and talking on a level a kid can understand. They are currently doing some remodeling so some stuff is not available at the moment (the play structures in the old waiting room), I am not sure what the final product will look like, but the portions they have completed are quite beautiful. Everything is ocean themed, clean and spacious.
Dr. Cindy is a joy, she is always excited to see my boys and keeps track of who they are and what they like. (Full disclosure, she serves on a board that my mother works for, so she feels that she knows my kids through my mother as well, since she talks about her grandsons a lot.) This last visit, however, we had to reschedule to a Friday, so Dr. Cindy was not available, but the dentist who took over was just as friendly and thorough. Ultimately, unless your child is getting a filling, you are spending most of your time with the hygenists anyway. Typically you never know which hygenist will be working with your child on that particular day, but all of them have been equally nice, understanding and caring.
Thankfully neither one of my kids has had to have any fillings or work done, so the majority of what they experience here is an exam and cleanings. My older son (3 ½) can be somewhat stubborn and challenging in the best of circumstances, so we started prepping him for this visit a few weeks ahead. We just let him know that they would be taking pictures in his mouth and putting their fingers and other tools in his mouth. He actually did pretty great on this visit, whereas on the last visit he only let them take one X-​ray before he was done. We come every six months. After starting to come here I was surpised to find that many of my friends also take their children here (some of whom are now teenagers) and have similar feelings of loving the practice as well.

Really, really amazing. All of my kids enjoy going to the dentist and enjoy how prompt, professional, and caring all of the staff here is. We always see Dr. Jenny and she is so great with the kids! The reception staff knows what they are doing and they do it well.
I have seen several children with special needs here and the staff knows just what to do and I am always impressed with how they treat each patient with individualized care.

You can’t get any better than Weideman for your kids’ dental needs. The place is absolutely designed with their young clients in mind. They were great with my toddlers and when we got out to the car, my 2 year old even asked if we could go again.
This place is absolutely worth the drive.
I was a bit anxious that my daughters wouldn’t like the dentist, I mean who does right? But between the TV on the ceilings, the toys to distract them and the kid friendly approach they use for their cleanings, it’s no wonder they have such a booming business.
And it might be a small thing but I love that they email you appointment reminders, I always lose those little cards but with the emails I can pull it up in my phone and I don’t forget.
I am sending all my family and friends to Weideman Pediatric.

This place is an awesome environment for children. Most adults are nervous or scared to go to the dentist, so naturally kids are even more reluctant and more terrified, luckily Weideman Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics exists to help kids and teenagers all around Sacramento and Roseville.
Pros: Great doctors who work with children all the time. Dr. Cindy is the original and is very respected in the community and by her peers. But all the other doctors are very qualified and good too, from Dr. Jeff and Dr. Darcy to Dr. Jenny and Dr. Tommy.
Their staff is well trained to not only work with children, but also very young infants and special needs patients.
They also have an on site Orthodontist, Dr. Lexie, to handle all orthodontic cases thus saving time and another unnecessary trip to a different office.
Lastly the office is very very kid friendly. There is a cool ocean beach theme throughout the office with surfboards, underwater creatures and an aquarium. Not to mention TVs everywhere showing kids movies and a video game area where kids can play games before and or after their visit.
Cons: Since it is a nicer office they don’t accept Medi-​cal or any HMO insurances.
Overall: If you’re looking for the best Pediatric and Orthodontic care for your children in the Sacramento/​Roseville area this is the office.
