Healthy habits early in a child's life can lead to a lifetime of good oral health

What the First Visit Usually Feels Like

First appointments don’t run on a stopwatch here. Kids get time to settle in. Parents get time to talk.

Dr. Bari takes time to introduce each tool before using it, starting with mirrors, explaining sounds like suction, and making sure nothing ever feels unexpected. Kids are always in control. If someone needs a break, the visit pauses. Some children hop right into the chair, while others take their time. Both are completely normal.

Cleanings are gentle and paced for the child in the chair, not the schedule.

Things King of Prussia parents tend to notice:

Parking is easy and close
Text check-in instead of crowding the front desk
Space that works for strollers without gymnastics
Someone to call if a tooth starts hurting after hours

It’s Different Here
(And Kids Notice)

The office doesn’t try to be quiet. It’s calm without being stiff.

There’s movement, color, and sound, things that feel familiar instead of overwhelming. Kids aren’t told to “just sit still.” They’re talked to, shown what’s happening, and prepared before anything changes.

Parents usually relax once they see how much explaining happens out loud.

Real Talk, Honest Dentistry

Treatment conversations stay practical. No pressure to stack appointments or do everything at once.

If a tooth can wait, that’s said clearly. If something needs attention, Dr. Bari explains what happens if it’s delayed and what happens if it’s fixed now. Sealants, fillings, emergency visits, all laid out without fluff.

Sedation is only discussed when it makes sense, and the reasoning is spelled out. Parents aren’t rushed to decide in the chair.

Dr. Bari Levine, a board-certified pediatric dentist

Meet Dr. Bari Levine, DMD, MPH

Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist

Dr. Bari talks to kids like people. Tools get explained. Steps get previewed. Parents are looped in without being talked over.

She lives nearby with her family and is often spotted biking to the office. Outside work, she’s usually cooking, hiking, or keeping up with her own kids, which tends to show in how she relates to parents in the chair.

Insurance and payment

Growing Smiles is in-network with Aetna and Guardian PPO plans. For other insurance, the team handles claim submission. Payment is due at the time of treatment, and reimbursements go directly to families.

No insurance? Ask before the visit. Options are explained up front.

FAQs for King of Prussia Parents

How far is your office from King of Prussia?

Most families make the drive in about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic. The office is in Narberth, close enough for school-day appointments without feeling like a long haul.

Do you see kids who are nervous or have had a tough dental visit before?

Yes. A lot of kids who come here start out unsure. Visits move at the child’s pace. Tools are shown first. Sounds get explained. If a break is needed, the visit pauses. There’s no pushing through just to finish.

What happens during a first dental visit?

The first visit is usually slower and lighter. Kids get time to look around, ask questions, and ease into the chair. Cleanings and exams are gentle, and parents are part of the conversation the whole time.

Do you offer emergency dental visits for kids?

If a tooth is hurting, chipped, or knocked, call the office first. You’ll talk through what’s going on and figure out next steps. Same-day visits are often possible for urgent issues.

Do you use sedation for children?

Sedation is only discussed when it’s actually useful, such as for longer visits, significant anxiety, or special needs. Dr. Bari explains why it may help, what it involves, and alternatives, so parents can decide without pressure.

What insurance plans do you accept?

Growing Smiles is in-network with Aetna and Guardian PPO plans. For other insurance, the team submits claims on your behalf. Payment is due at the visit, and reimbursements go directly to families.

What if my child doesn’t need treatment right away?

If something can wait, that’s said clearly. Parents are walked through what happens if treatment is done now versus later, so decisions can be made with real information, not urgency.

What Parents Keep Saying

Most parents don’t leave reviews unless something really stood out. These are a few things families mention again and again after visits, especially around how their kids felt walking out the door.

My 11yr and 7yr old have been going to Dr. Bari for the last 2 years. We have only been in the area for 3 and I wish we would have found her first. To say that she is amazing is an understatement! She is a fantastic dentist both in terms of communicating with parents and also with kids. The kids LOVE going to the dentist to see her and always have a good experience. Dr. Bari is also extremely knowledgeable, kind and passionate about what she does! Her office is easy to communicate with and very efficient. All kids should see Dr. Bari!

We had a wonderful experience with Dr Bari and her team. The service is top notch every single care staff cares about each child what a wonderful team. My daughter had sedation for seven cavities and we found out about three that day unexpected. Dr Bari was so kind with her pricing. She is wonderful so caring. I highly recommend!

Dr. Bari has truly made going to the dentist a fun and positive experience for my kids. She connects with them so naturally and is incredibly thorough while still being wonderfully kind. As a parent, I appreciate how attentive and personable the entire Growing Smiles team is—they respond to every email and call so quickly. We absolutely love Dr. Bari!

My kids had multiple dental treatments with Dr. Bari, and she did an amazing job! The sedation went smoothly, and she finished everything in one visit. She clearly explained the treatment plan beforehand and even called afterward to check on my kids. They actually get excited to visit her clinic—the free toys and dental kits are a big hit! The staff are super friendly and helpful from scheduling to billing. I Highly recommend their clinic!
