Medford, OR (December 18, 2025) – Gentle Dental, an InterDent supported brand and trusted leader in oral health care with nearly 160 locations across eight states, is pleased to announce the opening of its second Gentle Dental Kids office, expanding access to specialized pediatric dental care for families in Southern Oregon. The new location marks the relocation and rebranding of the former SmileKeepers Medford Children’s office as Gentle Dental Kids Medford, officially opening on December 18, 2025.
Formerly located at 925 Town Centre Drive, Suite B, the pediatric dental practice has moved to a new, expansive location at 501 Medford Center Drive, Suite A501, Medford, OR 97504. Existing Medford Children’s patients will transition seamlessly to the new Gentle Dental Kids Medford location, with continuity of care and access to the same dedicated, pediatric-focused dental team. The transition reflects Gentle Dental’s continued investment in pediatric oral healthcare and its commitment to providing children with a positive, engaging dental experience from the very beginning.
The newly relocated office features 12 private treatment operatories, all thoughtfully designed with children and families in mind. In addition to state-of-the-art technology, the space features bright, cheerful décor and private treatment rooms equipped with ceiling-mounted televisions, individual audio controls, immersive lighting and visual elements. These features help create a calming, engaging environment that supports comfort, focus, and a more enjoyable visit for young patients.
“The opening of Gentle Dental Kids Medford represents an important next step in our journey to elevate pediatric care across Oregon,” said Shane McCarthy, Chief Operating Officer of InterDent Service Corporation. “As our second Gentle Dental Kids location in the state, following the launch of Gentle Dental Kids Keizer in March, this office reflects our commitment to growing thoughtfully, investing in purpose-built spaces, and ensuring families have access to specialized dental care designed specifically for children.”
Gentle Dental Kids Medford offers a comprehensive range of pediatric dental services, including routine preventive care, emergency dental treatment, and orthodontics with free consultations. The office treats children ages 0–12, as well as patients with special needs from ages 0–18, ensuring inclusive and accessible care for the community. The practice proudly accepts the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) through Capitol Dental, helping expand access to essential pediatric dental services for families throughout Southern Oregon.
