Non-Invasive Remineralization Treatments

Early signs of tooth decay can often be treated before they become bigger dental problems. At UP Kids Dentist, our non-invasive remineralization treatments help strengthen weakened enamel, repair early white spot lesions, and protect your child’s smile without traditional drilling or fillings.

Why Should Your Child Get Non-Invasive Remineralization Treatments?

White spots and early enamel changes can be the first signs of mineral loss in your child’s teeth. Non-invasive remineralization treatments help restore important minerals, strengthen enamel, and support healthier teeth before more advanced treatment may be needed. At UP Kids Dentist, we use gentle, child-friendly approaches designed to preserve natural tooth structure while helping protect your child’s growing smile.

Pediatric Dentist, Board-Certified & Mother

Get To Know Dr. Breanna Barnes

Dr. Breanna Barnes’s journey into dentistry is one of rediscovery and passion, deeply rooted in her childhood in Olathe, Kansas. Growing up as the daughter of a pediatric dentist, she spent summers immersed in the day-to-day operations of her father’s practice. While initially envisioning a future in medical science or interior design, it wasn’t until college that she realized how dentistry uniquely combines her love of science, creativity, and helping others.

After graduating with honors from Southern Methodist University, Dr. Barnes went on to earn her dental and public health degrees at the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health. Her dedication to specialized pediatric care led her to complete a residency at the University of Tennessee, where she also earned a Master of Dental Science. As a board-certified pediatric dentist, Dr. Barnes has advanced training in infant frenectomies, laser dentistry, and esthetic restorations like zirconia crowns, enabling her to provide gentle, comprehensive care tailored to each child’s needs.

Driven by a vision to provide compassionate, quality-focused care, Dr. Barnes opened Songbird Pediatric Dentistry to create a welcoming, patient-first practice. Recognizing a need in Fairview, she established the area’s first pediatric dental office, adopting a mom-run, non-corporate approach to dental care. Shortly after, she acquired Up Pediatric Dentistry, where she continues to make exceptional pediatric dental care available to her community. At both of her practices, her goal is to create an environment where every family feels genuinely valued and supported.

Dr. Barnes is particularly passionate about serving children with special needs, including those on the autism spectrum, and infants experiencing nursing challenges due to lip or tongue ties. Her holistic philosophy extends beyond treating dental concerns to addressing underlying causes and preventing future issues. Her mission is to make every child’s dental visit a positive, fun, and supportive experience.

Outside of the office, Dr. Barnes is a wife and proud mother of two toddlers. She enjoys baking gluten-free desserts, exploring antique shops, staying active, and spending time in nature. Both her professional expertise and personal experiences as a parent influence her warm, empathetic approach to pediatric dentistry.

Dana H.

Dr Barnes and her staff are trustworthy, professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Excellent bed side manner. I’m am so glad we came back to Up Dentistry.

Stefanie W.

Dr Barnes and her staff are exceptional! My son had several things done in one day, from preventative care to extractions needed for orthodontic. They took their time with him, treated him like their own and made it very easy on the both of us. They are exactly what you want and need for your children’s dental needs. I’ve been in dentistry for 20 years, her offices are the best around!! Thank you Dr Barnes and all the sweet ladies with her.

Jessica S.

Up Pediatric Dentistry is a charming and welcoming office designed to make kids feel at ease. Dr. Barnes and her friendly staff create a warm, inviting environment that helps take the stress out of dental visits. Both my son and daughter absolutely loved her and felt so comfortable throughout their visit. She is kind, patient, and incredibly skilled, providing quick and compassionate care when children need it most.

Taylor L.

Taking your child this dentist will feel more like taking your child to your sisters. Dr. Barnes spent so much time with us both on the phone and in person to ensure my comfort level and my child’s. Though the clinic was busy with several other families, I’d never have known based on the time, attention to detail and kindness she showed us. 11/10 recommend to as many families as possible!
