In our Doctor Spotlight, Dr. Austin shares that there’s nothing better than seeing a nervous child walk in and leave with a smile. From the warm, inviting offices to the energy of her compassionate team, every detail is designed to make kids feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

Each office features thoughtful touches like a cozy nook to play in and soft couches and chairs that help take the fear out of visiting the dentist. They’ve even brought in balloon makers on occasion for an extra dose of fun!

But it’s not just the atmosphere that sets Dr. Austin and her practice apart – it’s the innovation and care. Alexandria Children’s Dentistry was one of the first in Northern Virginia to introduce the Solea CO₂ Laser. Its needle-free technology allows her team to perform fillings and other procedures without numbing. It’s a game-changer for kids, and peace of mind for parents.

Since opening her first practice in 2011, Dr. Austin has combined heartfelt care with cutting-edge dentistry. It’s no wonder so many families choose Alexandria Children’s Dentistry for a better, brighter dental experience. Visit LoveKidsTeeth.com to learn more or schedule an appointment.
