Meet the Nicest Dentists in Town
Lovingly referred to as “Dr. French Fry” by our young patients, Dr. Douglas Fry has been practicing dentistry for over 40 years, with 27 years in pediatric dentistry. He is one of Wilmington’s original pediatric dentists, and one of the few who accepts Medicaid.
Dr. Lise Bradley has been working in the dental industry for over 3 decades, and loves making children SMILE. She is adored by our patient families and takes a caring approach to pediatric dentistry.
New Patients Always Welcome!
We are a well-trained children's dental practice that provides excellent and efficient service in a creative and fun environment. Our referrals come from happy existing patients, county health departments, general dentists, and other dental specialists.
Our goal is for every child to have a positive dental experience that will put a BRIGHT SMILE on their face!

We welcome all children, including newborns and children with disabilities. Our office is located in Wilmington, and we are happy to see children from each of the surrounding counties: New Hanover, Brunswick, Columbus, Bladen, Pender, Onslow, and more. All types of insurance are accepted, including Medicaid.
