Mom’s Choice Winner: Lake Jeanette Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry
Finding the right dental care provider can be overwhelming—especially when it involves your children. You’re not just looking for someone who’s experienced and qualified. You want a team that’s kind, patient, and knows how to make children feel at ease. If you’re searching for the best dentist for kids in the Triad, you’ll be glad to hear about one standout practice: Lake Jeanette Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry.
Meet Dr. Mike and the Award-Winning Team
Lake Jeanette Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, led by Dr. Michael A. Ignelzi, Jr., D.D.S., Ph.D., better known as Dr. Mike, was voted Best Dental Practice in our Mom’s Choice Awards. As a pediatric dentist and orthodontist in Greensboro, Dr. Mike brings an impressive combination of expertise and warmth to every patient interaction.
We had the pleasure of working with the staff during one of their “Happy Kids Healthy Smiles” festivals and can confirm just how friendly, welcoming, and engaging the entire team is. From the moment you step inside, their kid-friendly Greensboro dental office feels clean, bright, and calming—ideal for nervous little ones and busy parents alike.
What Local Moms Are Saying
Don’t just take our word for it—moms in the Triad are big fans. Martha Shafer, whose children are long-time patients, shares:
“My girls LOVE Dr. Mike. They say ‘He is SO nice!’ I love Dr. Mike because he is knowledgeable, caring, and his office is efficient. I can schedule both dental and orthodontic visits at the same time, which saves me time. Even after braces, my daughter is still seen here—it’s so convenient having one dental home for all my kids. I would recommend him to anyone!”
Why Lake Jeanette is the Best Dentist for Kids
Parents love the convenience of having both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics under one roof. Lake Jeanette Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry sees children from age 1 through 18, and also offers orthodontic services for teens and adults. As the only dual-certified pediatric dentist and orthodontist in the Triad, Dr. Mike provides complete, continuity-focused care.
Their mission is simple: to grow healthy, confident smiles. Their patients enjoy appointments that feel more like fun than a chore, thanks to play areas, prizes, balloons, and a warm staff. It’s no surprise so many families trust them for all their dental needs.
The Importance of Early Dental Care
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, children should see a dentist by age one. These early visits help establish good oral hygiene habits, assess fluoride needs, and promote healthy feeding and brushing routines.
Dr. Mike emphasizes the importance of positive early experiences:
“Many of our patients love visiting us because they get to play before and after appointments. They leave smiling—with a prize, a sticker, and a balloon! When kids enjoy going to the dentist early on, they’re less likely to fear dental visits as adults.”
Flexible Hours & Family-Friendly Care
This Greensboro dental office is tailored for busy families. With hours as early as 7 AM and as late as 6 PM on select days—and even Friday appointments available—they make scheduling a breeze. They also file insurance for you and offer flexible payment plans, making high-quality dental care more accessible.
