Why Schertz Families Choose Guadalupe Kids Dental
A board-certified pediatric dentist completes two additional years of residency training beyond dental school, with a focus on child development, behavior guidance, and treating children of all ages and abilities, including those with special health care needs. That training can make a real difference for young children and for kids who need extra support.
Our office welcomes families from all backgrounds and accepts most major insurance plans, including Cigna, Aetna, Delta Dental, TMHP (Medicaid), Ameritas, Humana, Guardian, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. You can review our insurance and financing options before your visit. For families without insurance, we offer a new patient special that includes a comprehensive exam, cleaning, X-rays, and fluoride: $125 for children under 4, $175 for ages 4 to 11, and $225 for ages 12 and up.
Dr. Bennion’s approach is built on patience, trust, and a real connection with each child. When kids feel safe at the dentist, they may cooperate better, feel less anxious, and build positive habits around their oral health. Regular visits also help catch problems early, which matters because CDC oral health data show about 11% of children ages 2 to 5 have untreated decay in their baby teeth, and nearly 18% do by ages 6 to 8.
Schertz keeps growing. The Census Bureau estimates 45,978 residents in 2025, up about 9% from the 2020 census, and roughly 23% of residents are under 18. Many families across Schertz, Cibolo, Selma, and Universal City attend schools in the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City school district, and for busy households, one office that handles checkups, fillings, emergencies, and sedation can save time.

Special Needs Dentistry Near Schertz
Caring for children with special health care needs is a central part of our practice. During his residency, Dr. Bennion received extensive training in sedation dentistry and in treating medically complex pediatric patients, and our team adapts its pace, environment, and communication style to each child through our special needs dentistry services.
For children who need extra help staying relaxed during procedures, we offer sedation options, including nitrous oxide. We talk through every option with parents and recommend sedation only when it supports a better outcome.
