Dr. Raymond A. Maturo, DDS

Pediatric dentistry meets the rhythms of a changing city block south of downtown Ann Arbor at Dr. Raymond A. Maturo, DDS. The single-story building sits behind a row of mature oaks near the intersection of Main and Ellsworth, quietly anchoring family care amid shifting storefronts and foot traffic — no sector signage, just a white door and an angled parking slot. A patient’s first visit here might begin with a new-patient exam that reviews growth charts before checking each tooth; the place handles cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants without a separate pediatric wing. If space opens between appointments, they’ll place white fillings, monitor space maintainers, and counsel families on sedation options for anxious children; emergencies — chipped molars or early abscesses — fit into the schedule same-day when possible. 2074 S Main St #1, Ann Arbor, MI 48103, is the only address; the clinic occupies the end unit, hard against the back curb, with a handicap-parking space closest to the entrance. Inside these walls, routine care shares wall space with interceptive orthodontics such as partial braces and space regainers; digital X-rays come at low-dose settings and are reviewed chairside, so parents see exactly what the dentist sees. Early habits — thumb-sucking appliances, tongue-tie revisions — sit alongside routine exams, all documented digitally to avoid paper charts crowding small tables. Visitors rarely need to announce themselves: call and the scheduler will fit first visits within a week for routine check-ups. The phone rings directly to the front desk at (734) 663-2490, where they’ll confirm insurance details or walk through costs line by line in fifteen seconds. Pediatric dentistry can feel like a maze to newcomers; here, the paperwork is direct and the goals are simple: small cavities stop before they spread, front teeth stay straight, and each child leaves with one less reason to fear the drill. The fastest way to line up directions is through the map link that drops a pin on this building rather than a nearby plaza. Enter the address and choose “car,” “bike,” or “walk” — the route auto-updates four seconds faster than asking Siri three times.
