About Kids Dental Center
Choosing the right pediatric dentist means finding someone who not only understands teeth but also understands children. When your child walks into a dental office, they should feel excited, not anxious, and leave with a positive experience that shapes their relationship with oral health for years to come.
At Kids Dental Center in Chandler, Arizona, Dr. J. Wright has built a practice around a simple but powerful philosophy: every child deserves the absolute best care, regardless of their insurance or background. Whether treating a child from a family starting fresh in the United States or one from an established Chandler neighborhood, Dr. Wright provides the same top-tier materials and techniques sourced from around the world. Our practice accepts most major insurance plans, making quality pediatric dentistry accessible to all families.
Our Mission and Philosophy
Our approach centers on creating dental experiences that children actually look forward to. The walls of Kids Dental Center don’t just display dental health posters; they showcase an environment designed to make your child feel comfortable, safe, and maybe even a little excited about their visit. We’ve worked hard to make our office “the most fun” place for children to receive dental care, because we know that positive early experiences create healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Dr. Wright specializes in pediatric anxiety management and advanced dental materials. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, early positive dental experiences significantly reduce anxiety and improve long-term oral health outcomes in children. This research drives everything we do at Kids Dental Center, from our treatment approach to how we communicate with both children and parents.
Our Team
Meet Dr. J. Rockwell Wright
Dr. Wright’s journey into pediatric dentistry began during his first week of dental school, when he was placed in a pediatric rotation and discovered his true calling. The experience was transformative; he couldn’t believe people got to work with children all day long and call it a career. After consulting with his wife, who told him she’d always known this was his path, Dr. Wright committed fully to pediatric dentistry and never looked back.
He was accepted into a highly competitive hospital-based pediatric dentistry program, where he focused on mastering the most effective care methods available. Dr. Wright graduated in the top 10% of his boards nationally, with extensive hospital-based training that prepared him for even the most complex pediatric dental cases. His education equipped him to handle everything from routine preventive care to emergency pediatric dental situations with confidence and expertise.
As a father of four children himself, Dr. Wright brings personal understanding to every appointment. He knows the concerns parents face, the questions that keep you up at night, and the importance of finding a dental provider you can trust completely. His own experience as a parent of a child with special needs has deepened his commitment to serving all children with patience, understanding, and individualized care. Kids Dental Center has earned recognition as a top-rated practice for children on the autism spectrum, with families specifically seeking out Dr. Wright for his expertise and approach.
Our Team
The team at Kids Dental Center shares Dr. Wright’s commitment to exceptional care and creating positive experiences for every child who walks through our doors. While we’re continuously growing and improving, our core values remain constant: we believe in treating every child with the respect, patience, and expert care they deserve.
Because we’re a privately owned practice rather than a corporate entity, we have the flexibility to make decisions based on what’s best for our patients, not shareholders. This means investing in the highest-quality materials from Sweden, Japan, and other global leaders in dental innovation. It means taking the time necessary with each patient rather than rushing through appointments. It means accepting insurance plans that others might avoid because we believe every child deserves access to excellent care.
Why Choose Kids Dental Center
Kids Dental Center stands apart in several essential ways. First, our commitment to quality materials and techniques is unwavering. Dr. Wright sources the best dental materials from around the world and has developed systems that make using these premium products financially sustainable, ensuring every child receives the same high level of care regardless of their family’s insurance situation.
Second, we specialize in treating children with special needs and managing dental anxiety. Our specialized approach to pediatric dental care includes comprehensive anxiety-management techniques and individualized treatment plans tailored to each child’s unique needs and comfort level.
Third, we embrace community involvement and accessibility. From partnering with local schools to participating in megachurch community events, we’re committed to being visible, accessible, and engaged with the Chandler community. We want families to know that quality pediatric dental care is available and that we’re here to serve them.
Our Commitment to Excellence
Every decision at Kids Dental Center comes back to a single question: Is this what’s best for the child sitting in our chair? We’ve turned our practice 180 degrees from a volume-focused corporate model to a patient-centered approach focused on quality. Our reviews from the past year and a half tell that story. Families consistently mention the improvement they’ve seen, the care they’ve received, and the positive experiences their children have had.
We understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for children and parents alike. That’s why we’ve created an environment where your child can feel comfortable and at ease. Our goal is to help your child develop good oral hygiene habits and maintain a healthy smile for years to come, building a foundation of positive dental experiences that will serve them throughout their lives.
