Summerlin Pediatric Dentistry

What Summerlin Pediatric Dentistry does

Summerlin Pediatric Dentistry is a single-location pediatric dental practice operating at 653 N. Town Center Dr., Suite 606, in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada. The practice is staffed by two board-eligible pediatric dentists—founder Dr. Ashley Hoban and Dr. Lindsay Row—both of whom completed two-year pediatric dentistry residencies at Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry / Texas A&M University College of Dentistry and hold additional credentials including a UNLV Associate Professorship for Dr. Hoban. The practice serves patients from birth through age 18, with a distinctive specialization in treating children with autism spectrum disorders and other special needs using Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA)-adapted techniques, including visual prompts, educational modeling, modulated praise, eye contact commands, and a counting framework.

The practice operates three integrated service tracks: general pediatric dental care (examinations, cleanings, fluoride treatments, x-rays, tooth-colored restorations, preventive education), the Autism Dental Center (specialized behavioral protocols plus sensory accommodation), and sedation and hospital dentistry for medically complex patients. The technical foundation is concentrated in clinical protocols rather than technology; the ABA adaptation methodology and sensory accommodation framework represent the principal service-level differentiation. Operations are supported by an 8-person team using standard dental practice workflows, with no proprietary software, AI/ML, or digital health platform referenced in the available data.

The business model is direct-to-consumer, generating revenue on a per-visit and per-procedure basis across both routine and specialty service lines; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Patient acquisition relies on community reputation, parent testimonials, professional referrals from medical providers, and partnerships with autism advocacy organizations including Autism Speaks, Grant A Gift Autism Foundation, Down Syndrome Organization of Southern Nevada, F.E.A.T., Peoples Autism Foundation, and the UNLV Medicine Ackerman Autism Center. Marketing channels are limited to organic Instagram content, website SEO, and community/affiliation-based referrals. The practice is privately held with no external investment, no parent company, and no indication of institutional investor involvement.

Core offering

Summerlin Pediatric Dentistry is a single-location pediatric dental practice that provides comprehensive preventive and restorative dental care for children from birth through 18 years of age, including examinations, cleanings, fluoride treatments, x-rays, tooth-colored restorations, and cavity detection. The practice differentiates through its dedicated Autism Dental Center, which adapts Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) techniques — visual prompts, educational modeling, modulated praise, and counting frameworks — to deliver dental care to children with autism spectrum disorders and sensory sensitivities. Sedation and hospital dentistry services extend care to children with special needs and medically compromising conditions.

Product overview

Summerlin Pediatric Dentistry operates as a single-location pediatric dental practice offering a unified portfolio of dental care services exclusively for children. The core Pediatric Dental Care service provides comprehensive preventive and restorative treatment for patients from birth through age 18. The Autism Dental Center is a specialized service track that adapts ABA behavioral techniques—breaking skills into smaller tasks with visual prompts, educational modeling, and a counting framework—to help children with autism receive dental care in a calm, structured environment. Sedation and Hospital Dentistry serves as an advanced behavior management module for patients with more complex medical or developmental needs who cannot be treated in a standard office setting. All three services are delivered by the same clinical team (Dr. Ashley Hoban and Dr. Lindsay Row) at the practice's Las Vegas location.
