Balster Pediatric Dentistry

Not all dental offices specialize in younger patients, but Balster Pediatric Dentistry focuses exclusively on kids’ oral health. It’s one of the few clinics in the area dedicated to children’s teeth, from first checkups to braces prep. The Edgewood Road location makes it an easy stop for families in northeast Cedar Rapids, especially those already running errands near Collins Road or the Lindale Mall area.

You’ll find the office at 4150 Edgewood Rd NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402, tucked between a mix of medical practices and small businesses. As a pediatric dental clinic, it handles everything from infant exams and cavity prevention to space maintainers and sports mouthguards. Parents often mention the Google rating—4.2 stars from 43 reviews—as a quick reference when choosing a provider for their kids.

First visits, cleanings, and fluoride treatments are standard here, but they also address more specific concerns like thumb-sucking habits or early orthodontic assessments. Questions about insurance, sedation options, or emergency appointments? The simplest way to ask is by calling (319) 294-8181. Staff can outline what to expect during a visit, though details like wait times or specific procedures would come directly from them.

The neighborhood is a blend of professional offices and quiet residential streets, so traffic is usually light outside peak hours. If you’re planning a visit, the map shows the entrance off Edgewood, just past the intersection with Council Street. It’s a straightforward drive from most parts of Cedar Rapids, with no confusing detours or one-way streets to navigate.
