Love the new office staff vibe. I also appreciate the update to online forms. Dr. Barnes has always been a wonderful dentist. My daughter always looks forward to seeing the mischief Dudley has gotten in to around the holidays:)
My youngest daughter has trauma from her previous dentist and since then she didn’t like to go to the dentist. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Barnes and she is awesome. She is very patient and always listens to our concerns when it comes to my daughter’s teeth. Dr Barnes did 5 procedures on my daughter’s teeth and all of them were successful. Both of my girls seen Dr Barnes and I highly recommend her. She is the Best!
My kiddos get super excited for dentist day! The entire office is colorful, friendly, and fun! The waiting area has cartoons playing, check-in always goes quickly, my kids love picking wild sunglasses to shield their eyes from the bright exam light, loads of fun toothpaste flavors to choose from, free toothbrushes and goodies. Dr. Caitlyn knows how to talk to kids and make them feel in charge! Can't say enough good things!
I love taking my kids to Aurora Children’s Dentistry! The staff go above and beyond to make my young children feel comfortable. My kids had their first appointments here and they are actually excited for each visit! It’s a huge relief to know they don’t fear the dentist like I did.

My kiddos love coming here. Everyone is very kind, fun, trustworthy and professional.
My daughter used to be so scared and nervous about going to the dentist that she would kick and scream. Angel would hardly even let her dentist where we lived brush her teeth. Every since we moved back home and I choose this dentist she has changed from her attitude about going to the dentist. Angel loves going now. I love that we have a great dentist for Angel.
Awesome facility and great staff!
Took my daughter for her first checkup. They were gentle and caring. It was a positive experience, and I would recommend there services.
Amazing Doctor and staff, very friendly amd we have positive experience.
Dr. Barnes and her lovely assistant did a great job with our son on his first visit. Thank you for providing such wonderful care and a great first visit!
The staff was so patient, caring and understanding. They worked with both of my preschoolers this morning and they left all smiles. Thanks again!
Everyone was very professional and I felt like they really cared about us. We had a bad experience with a different dentist in the past so I was a little weary. However, Dr Barnes and her team (especially Jane) made me feel very comfortable and appreciated. Everything from preprocedure to follow up was very thorough and I didn’t feel rushed at all. Such a great group of people. I will definitely recommend to my friends!

Aurora Children's Dentistry is great! We have been going their for years. Everyone is very professional and welcoming. My kids look forward to their appointments and always have fun talking and joking around with the staff.
My one year old daughter just had her very first dental appointment here! The staff was so professional, friendly and incredibly reassuring! They took up so much time making sure that she was comfortable and answered all of our questions thoroughly. It is safe to say that my daughter actually had fun at this appointment ha ha. She even got to pick out a little treasure from the treasure box at the very end. Crystal at the front desk, the assistants and the doctor treated my little girl like family. I highly recommend this place!
We deeply appreciate all the COVID precautions!!! Had both girls in for their check-ups & it went smoothly, especially the bit at the end where instead of them lingering over the treasure chest they were given their little goodie bags & we we on our way :D!
We took our 4 year old in and he was extremely nervous. The doctor and staff were amazing. They made him comfortable and took their time with him. I would recommend this office to anyone that asks! We already have his next appointment scheduled and the first appointment for our 1 year old. This will be the only place we will trust with our kids dental needs.
After my 3 year old daughter had a pretty terrible experience at a different dentist, we tried coming here. What a difference! They did a great job distracting her from the "scary stuff" and she found the bravery to open wide. She was excited to learn more about teeth and couldn't wait to go home and floss. They work well with my insurance, and I haven't gotten any surprise bills yet.

Highly recommend Dr.Barns! So kind and caring with our children!
Very excellent and professional service from not only the dentist themselves but the staff as well. Today was my sons surgery and they walked me through the steps before and after. They also elaborate on the process and how long it's going to take. Thank you
We absolutely love ACD! Dr. Barnes and her staff and techs are so wonderful and have made our daughter feel at ease from day 1 (her first visit was a bit early at 1 1/2 for a chipped tooth mishap) and she looks forward to her visits every 6 mos.
Very pleasurable experience , great staff . Everyone is friendly and meticulous. To Dr. Barnes Thank you for taking care my girls the treatment was nearly pain free you did a great job đź‘Ťđź‘Ť 2 thumbs up.
We have been with Dr. Barnes for many years. She is such a patient and kind dentist. We have never had such a wonderful dentist for kids!
Great staff, always sweet and a great facility!
They are very warm and welcoming, helpful and professional in handling their clients.
Amazing office! I worked as a dental assistant for over 5 years and I am VERY picky when it comes to dentists. Dr. Caitlin is amazing and I could not be more impressed. The office staff is wonderful and has been incredible to work with us in times of tough financial strain. My son fell this weekend and broke his tooth in half. He was devastated. But Dr. Caitlin fixed it beautifully and took amazing care of by son! Having the previous experience I have, I know when a dentist is trying to up-sell you and tell you that you need more work than really needs to be done. We had this happen on more than on occasion with other dentists in the area. Dr. Caitlin never does this. She is honest and only prescribes the work that is actually needed. I trust her opinion 100%. I would recommend her to anyone!
Dr. Barnes is absolutely amazing!! She is so patient with my 3 year old and 1 year old. They both enjoy going to the dentist and love brushing and flossing due to the great experiences they have at Aurora Children's Dentistry. The entire staff is so friendly and accommodating. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! Hands down the best pediatric dentist office I have been to. 👍🏼
Dr. Barnes is amazing!! My son started seeing her when he was 2 1/2. Dr. Barnes works with my sons other doctor to make sure everything she does is ok with his allergies. Dr. Barnes is on call night and day and has gone in late at night for my son due to an emergency. Dr. Barnes always has a smile on her face and my son enjoys going to her office. I highly recommend Dr. Barnes for any child!!! Her staff are also so welcoming and knowledgeable.
Dr. Barnes is fantastic! She is so good with kids and really takes the time to make them feel comfortable and happy to be at the dentist. Her staff is friendly and welcoming. Great office!
We saw Dr.Barnes from the very beginning. We have now moved out of state and I still say, I will come back to Alaska just to have Mekalyns teeth cared for by Dr. Barnes.. We will see you in July of 2018 for that cleaning!!
Dr Barnes is a very good pediatric dentist with a good heart. I worked under her supervision and was very impressed with her talents.

This dentistry is the perfect dentist for kids!!! Their prices are affordable, their office is welcoming, and they are just perfect! Caitlyn was absolutely AMAZING with my 6 year old. We had some issues with the drilling portion. Her and her assistant, Payao, stopped immediately and tried accommodating him before starting again. They talked to him and kept him as calm as they could. Kelly at the front desk was also super sweet to us! Thank you guys for the amazing visit!
Dr. Barnes has a very gentle and nurturing demeanor which puts kids at ease. My stepdaughter talked about her after the appointment for the whole rest of the day! I highly recommend her as a children's dentist! Her staff was also friendly and welcoming- they make a great team!
We took our daughter to Dr. Barnes for her very first dentist visit. She and her staff are amazing! They were very patient and comforting to our daughter. Highly recommend Dr. Barnes for your little one!
Dr. Barnes is the best dentist and sweetest person. She's not only an excellent doctor, she always puts my kids at ease and helps them enjoy their experience. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Barnes is awesome with the kids! My son woke up excited for the dentist today!!!!
