Texas Tykes Pediatric Dentistry

What Texas Tykes Pediatric Dentistry does

Texas Tykes Pediatric Dentistry is a privately held, single-location pediatric dental practice based in New Braunfels, Texas, founded by Dr. Jaime Simmons following her 2015 Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The practice delivers comprehensive oral healthcare to infants, children, adolescents, and children with special healthcare needs, organized around three service pillars: prevention (hygiene instruction, fluoride, sealants), restorative care (fillings, crowns, pulpal therapy, extractions), and treatment under sedation (nitrous oxide through general anesthesia). A differentiated offering is laser dentistry for soft-tissue procedures — including frenectomies for infant tongue-tie and lip-tie — which the practice uses as a no-scalpel, no-stitches alternative. The practice also provides interceptive orthodontics, space maintenance, and 24/7 on-call emergency dental coverage.

The business operates as a direct-to-consumer healthcare service with a fee-for-service revenue model: payment is due at the time of treatment, and the practice is in network with Medicaid and several major insurance plans while also accepting cash, checks, and major credit cards. Patient acquisition is driven primarily by Google reviews, a Google Business listing, Facebook, and word-of-mouth referrals, with no paid advertising, institutional partnerships, or referral alliances disclosed. The practice is staffed by Dr. Simmons plus a small team including Registered Dental Assistants and front-desk personnel, with consistent hiring across 2021 and March 2023 indicating gradual capacity build-out at the single site. There is no evidence of outside investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or multi-site operations.

• Restorative Care Restorative dental services including composite (white) fillings, dental crowns (tooth-colored and stainless steel for primary teeth), pulpal therapy, extractions, and space maintenance for children.
• Sedation Dentistry Sedation options including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia for children who require extensive treatment or have difficulty cooperating. Fridays are reserved for anesthesia cases.
