Why Choose Us?
As dentists who love what we do, our mission is to help our patients feel 100% relaxed and safe in our care. Enough people in the US have anxiety about the dentist that it is considered almost normal—but it’s not the norm at Clifton & Mauney. Dr. Lenise Clifton (orthodontist) and Dr. Chuck Mauney (pediatric dentist) have been doing this work for 20 years. Combining orthodontics and pediatric dentistry under one roof helps the children we treat develop relationships with the doctors and staff, feel safe in a familiar setting, and learn that taking care of teeth is important and also cool.
Why choose Clifton & Mauney for your children’s dental care and orthodontics? Call 888.339.8108 or reach out to us online today to speak to one of our staff. In our office, we are like family and treat you and your kids like family, too. Choosing the right dentist is a big deal, and ensuring your child gets off to a good start on their lifelong dental care journey is essential. We want to help you feel good about selecting us.
Why Choose Us?
We think we’re pretty great and are confident you will, too. We are devoted to treating the children in our care, from that very first toddler check-up all the way through the primary teeth changing to permanent teeth, keeping teeth clean and cavity-free, and taking care of anything that comes up, including orthodontics if needed. The comprehensive nature of our practice ensures that everything happens when it is supposed to, and we catch problems early so we can treat them with minimal invasiveness.
Some of the things that are important to us from a non-medical perspective are:
- We are inclusive – We understand that everyone is different, and children are no exception. Different personalities, learning styles, levels of shyness or confidence, and reactions to discomfort all come into play. We have experience working with children on the spectrum and gladly adapt in order to meet their special requirements.
- We are patient and family-focused – As a comprehensive practice, we can focus on the needs of the family by expediting and coordinating scheduling and accommodating specific needs.
- We value compassion over speed – Of course, we will honor your schedule, but we also can assure you that we will not rush important situations and always take the time needed to adjust depending on how a child is doing, and prioritizing the management of discomfort, both physical and emotional.
In addition to creating a fun, safe space for dentistry to happen, we offer a comprehensive range of services.

A Little Something Extra
Why choose Clifton & Mauney? We do all the above while having fun and getting to know each one of our patients. We also have some very cool tools to help us do our job even better. We offer some of the most modern technology available. Our X-ray technology is the most updated digital version out there, and we also use a cone beam 3D CBCT, which can create 3D images of teeth, soft tissue, bone, and nerves in one scan. We have a digital scanner that uses a lighted wand to scan your teeth inside your mouth and make a 3D projection onto a computer screen. This is very handy during the orthodontic years.
