Frequently Asked Questions About First Dental Visit

We're at 4024 US-83 #100, Rio Grande City, TX 78582 — right off Highway 83 with easy access and plenty of parking. No hunting for a spot or navigating a confusing medical complex.
Do you accept Medicaid and CHIP for kids' dental visits?
Yes. We accept Medicaid, CHIP, and most major dental insurance plans for pediatric visits. If you're not sure about your coverage, call us at (956) 413-7542 and we'll verify your benefits before your child's appointment.
What are your hours in Rio Grande City?
We're open Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Those evening and weekend hours are designed for busy families who can't always get away during a traditional workday. We're closed on Sundays.
What should I expect at my child's first visit?
The first appointment is all about comfort. We take it slow — our team introduces themselves, shows your child around, and explains everything in kid-friendly terms before we even look at their teeth. If your child is nervous, that's completely normal, and we're ready for it. We'll do a gentle exam, take any needed X-rays, and talk through a plan with you before you leave.

What makes our Rio Grande City office unique for first dental visit
First Dental Visit for Rio Grande City Families
Rio Grande City families know that finding a kids' dentist who truly understands the community makes all the difference. Here in Starr County, where over 95% of residents are Hispanic or Latino and many households are bilingual, your child deserves a dental team that feels like family — not a sterile, intimidating clinic.
We see kids from across the Rio Grande City area, from families near the plaza to neighborhoods off US-83, and we know that for many parents here, Medicaid and CHIP coverage is a top priority. We proudly accept both so your child can get the care they need without the stress of surprise costs.
Whether your little one is coming in for their very first checkup or they're getting close to that age where braces become the conversation at every family gathering, our Rio Grande City office is set up to handle it all under one roof. That means no referrals across town, no starting over with a new provider — just one team that knows your kid by name and grows with them from baby teeth to braces and beyond.
