Welcome to Griffith Pediatric Dentistry

Meet the Friendly Faces Behind the Smiles  

At Griffith Pediatric Dentistry, you’ll find more than just expert pediatric care—you’ll find two deeply committed doctors who truly love what they do. Dr. Grant Gleason, originally from Canada, brings a global perspective and years of clinical training, including dental school at Boston University, a general practice residency at St. Barnabas Hospital, and pediatric specialty training at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. As a board-certified pediatric dentist, his goal is to make dental visits a fun, positive part of every child’s wellness routine.

Dr. Stephanie Cruz was born and raised in Southern California and discovered her passion for pediatric dentistry early on. She earned her undergraduate degree at UCLA, completed dental school at UCSF, and went on to a general residency at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. From there, she pursued advanced pediatric specialty training at Mount Sinai Hospital.

With her joyful demeanor, clinical expertise, and comforting chairside manner, Dr. Cruz quickly becomes a favorite with both kids and parents. Together with Dr. Gleason, she is dedicated to creating not only healthy smiles, but also building trust and confidence in every patient who walks through the door.

A Pediatric Dental Team That Feels Like Family  

At Griffith Pediatric Dentistry, we believe every child deserves a dental experience filled with compassion, comfort, and support. Our team is handpicked to deliver just that—with warm smiles, patient-focused care, and a gentle approach rooted in behavioral expertise. From the friendly faces at the front desk to the clinical professionals guiding your child through each visit, we make it our mission to create a calm, caring environment for kids of all ages.  

Our modern office is thoughtfully designed for young families and little patients—complete with in-chair TVs, tablets, calming decor, and Disney+ to keep your child comfortable and entertained. And with plans to grow our team as we expand hours, rest assured every visit will feel welcoming, well-supported, and full of heart.  

Specialized Care for Growing Smiles  

We offer a comprehensive range of pediatric dental services that focus on prevention, gentle restorative care, and child-tailored dental education. Whether your child is here for a first tooth visit, a routine cleaning with fluoride, or advanced restorative needs like white zirconia crowns or tooth-colored fillings, we’re committed to minimizing discomfort and maximizing confidence.  

Our approach is built around prevention and behavioral support, including nitrous oxide for relaxation and periodic IV sedation for more complex procedures—all delivered by compassionate experts in a kid-centered space. We also provide minimally invasive treatment options such as Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF), ideal for reducing treatment anxiety and preserving healthy tooth structure.
