Welcome to Mini Miners Pediatric Dentistry in Dacono, CO

Your Child Deserves a Dental Experience That Builds Confidence, Not Fear

Why Dacono Families Choose Mini Miners Pediatric Dentistry

Finding the right children's dentist can feel overwhelming. You want someone who truly understands kids, not just their teeth. At Mini Miners Pediatric Dentistry, we built our practice from the ground up with one goal in mind: transforming dental visits from something children dread into experiences they actually look forward to.

Dr. Alison Grover and her husband Logan designed every detail of our office in 2017 to put kids at ease. From arcade games and a slide in the waiting room to ceiling mounted TVs playing over 70 movies during treatment, we have created an environment where children feel comfortable and in control.

What truly sets us apart is our child centered, parent friendly approach. Unlike many dental offices, we welcome parents into the treatment room. We believe partnership with families creates better outcomes and builds trust. Our team takes pride in individualizing every patient's experience because no two children are alike.

Dr. Grover brings exceptional credentials to her work as a pediatric dentist in Dacono, CO and surrounding communities. She completed her Pediatric Dental Residency at UCLA, holds the distinction of being a Pediatric Dental Diplomate, and earned a degree in child psychology from Wellesley College. Combined with her own experience as a parent, she understands both the clinical and emotional aspects of caring for young patients.

Families travel from across the Front Range to see us, including Erie, Lafayette, Louisville, Broomfield, Boulder, Westminster, Thornton, Johnstown, Berthoud, Brighton, Arvada, Longmont, and yes, Dacono. Some families even fly in from out of state because they trust our expertise and gentle approach.

Our Proven Process for Positive Dental Visits

We have developed a thoughtful approach that helps even the most anxious children feel safe and successful at the dentist.

Everything Starts with Choice

Children feel more comfortable when they have some control over their experience. At Mini Miners, kids get to choose their prophy toothpaste flavor, fluoride flavor, and which movie to watch during their visit. These small choices make a big difference in how children perceive dental care.

Small Tools for Small Mouths

All instruments, sensors, and equipment in our office are specifically sized for pediatric patients. This attention to detail ensures greater comfort and less intimidation. Our camera style X ray machines allow children to watch their movie while images are taken in the treatment room, eliminating the need for separate, unfamiliar X ray areas.

Communication That Works

We take time to explain and show children what we are doing in language they understand. Our experienced team knows how to keep appointments positive and brief. We communicate clearly with parents throughout the visit so everyone feels informed and confident.

Sedation Options When Needed

Every treatment room is equipped with nitrous oxide, and we offer all levels of sedation including mild, moderate, and deep sedation for children who need additional support. Our soft tissue laser provides gentle treatment options for procedures like tongue tie releases.

Happy Visits for Special Circumstances

For children with dental anxiety or special needs, we offer "happy visits" where they can explore the office and meet the team without any treatment. This gradual introduction helps build familiarity and trust before their first actual appointment.

Our Team

Our team, headed by Dr. Alison Grover, features pediatric dental specialists who pair their advanced training with a heartfelt commitment to helping kids enjoy their time at the dentist.

Melissa M.

Accounts Manager

I've been part of the Mini Miners family since 2019. Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I'm a huge fan of everything Nightmare Before Christmas. Outside the office, I'm a busy mom to two active boys, two dogs, and three cats. You'll usually find me cheering from the soccer sidelines, experimenting in the kitchen, or working on my latest crafting project.

I joined Mini Miners in 2019 and have spent many years in the dental field helping patients achieve healthy smiles. Being a boy mom keeps me on my toes, and I cherish every moment with my family. I'm a proud supporter of all Colorado teams and love staying active through volleyball and enjoying the great outdoors.

Lead Dental Assistant

I'm a certified Dental Assistant and EDDA who joined Mini Miners in 2021, bringing five years of prior dental experience with me. I've known since childhood that I wanted a career in healthcare, and dentistry turned out to be the perfect fit. When I'm off the clock, my dog and I love going on adventures together.

Ceseli V.

Receptionist

I've been welcoming families at the front desk since 2023. As a mother to an autistic teenager, it means so much to work somewhere that shares my commitment to meeting every child's dental needs. From answering questions before a first visit to checking in after treatments, we go the extra mile to help kids feel safe and comfortable. I'm grateful to be part of the Mini Miners team.
