Just for Kids Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

What Just for Kids Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics does

Just for Kids Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics is a privately held single-site dental practice based in Riverside, California, providing pediatric dental care and orthodontic treatment to children from birth through adolescence in the Inland Empire. The practice is led by Dr. Raymond Wang, a board-certified pediatric dentist (American Board of Pediatric Dentistry), supported by additional pediatric dentists Rick Nichols and Ronald Simus, and board-certified orthodontists Dr. Sam Lee and Dr. Trang Nguyen (American Board of Orthodontics). Service offerings span routine and preventive pediatric dentistry, sedation dentistry, special needs dentistry, sports dentistry, and orthodontics including Damon braces, clear braces, and Invisalign.

The practice operates from a single clinical office at 7170 Indiana Avenue, Riverside, CA 92504, co-located with Riverside Orthodontics to deliver integrated dental-and-orthodontic care. Clinical capability is anchored by the Lightscalpel CO2 laser, which enables in-office infant frenectomies as a specialized service line. Patient engagement is delivered through the Sesame Communications platform, supporting online forms, communications, and a patient portal, and patient financing is facilitated through CareCredit. Headcount is reported in the 11–50 employee range.

The business model is consumer healthcare services: revenue is generated per-visit and per-case from families in the Inland Empire, with case mix spanning higher-ticket orthodontic treatments (multi-year) and recurring hygiene/preventive recall. The practice markets through a content-rich web presence (educational blogs, office tour, first-visit information) and relies on patient testimonials and referrals as primary demand channels. No external funding, acquisitions, additional locations, or AI capabilities are disclosed.
