Dr. Stephen Pretzer, DDS 
As a pediatric dentist, I am in a unique position to develop long-term relationships with families. Watching kids grow and being a part of their lives is an invaluable and gratifying experience. I feel very fortunate to truly love what I do each and every day. I am thrilled to help my young patients have a positive dental experience and achieve ideal dental health for a lifetime of happy smiles.
Dr. David Kornstein, DDS 
I have constantly been amazed at how rewarding pediatric dentistry has been to me. Each and every day, my little patients’ playfulness, creativity, and imagination have given me so much to be thankful for and proud of. Treating children at such young ages allows me to help instill in them a great sense of the importance that our oral health has for our overall health, confidence, and self-esteem. My goal is to make sure that the children I treat leave our practice excited to return again.
Dr. Robert Moran, Jr., DDS, MS 
Helping children enjoy their first dental experiences is one of my main goals as a pediatric dentist. The most rewarding part of my profession is seeing children, especially those with special needs, accomplish something that may otherwise have been difficult, if not impossible, elsewhere. We have created a unique place where dentistry is fun and as fear-free as possible.
Dr. Travis Hicks, DDS, MS 
As a pediatric dentist, I have the opportunity to make an early impact on a child’s perception of the dentist and oral health. I am passionate about giving children a dental home, a place where they and their parents can trust in the quality of care they receive. I am excited every time I see a child for their first dental visit. It is an opportunity to develop a bond with that patient, and their family, that will hopefully last for many years to come. As one of the newest dentists in the practice, I look forward to working with not only a great group of pediatric dentists and orthodontists, but also an amazing staff in a thriving community like Raleigh.
