CHILDREN'S DENTISTRY OF MANATEE & LAKEWOOD RANCH
OUR DOCTORS ARE EXPERTS ON THE GROWING SMILE.



Pediatric Dentist
A Pediatric Dentist like Dr. Morgan and an orthodontist like Dr. Mann, are specialists dedicated to the oral health of children and the monitoring of their facial growth and development. Our dental office is designed for treating children from infancy through adolescence, as well as the medically and the physically compromised.
Emphasis on Education
We believe in teaching each child about oral health and how important it is to keep the mouth healthy and in great shape. Children are naturally curious, so we use that to our advantage, and encourage their questions and help them learn in ways appropriate for their age. Teaching children about the proper way to brush and floss, how to make healthy food choices and why they are important, and ingraining positive habits at a young age, will all help your child have great oral health, and a healthy body, throughout life.

What our patients have to say
Beautiful office with amazing staff!! My son's dental hygienist was very thorough during his cleaning and really great with him. The dentist was wonderful too. Very glad we found this office!!
All 3 of my kids love Dr. Morgan. He is gentle and communicates well with them.
We always have a great experience at Children’s Dentistry. They take their time, their information, honor parental rights and they are always so efficient and supportive. I can’t recommend them enough.
We have been taking our daughter here for about five years and love it. Dr. Morgan is a wonderful dentist and Dr. Mann and Dr. Gonzalez were amazing orthodontists. Today my daughter just got her braces off and we are so happy with the results. I highly recommend Children's Dentistry of Manatee.
This is the best dentist we have been too! So accommodating and helpful with our four littles. Everyone loves the dentist!
You get a super friendly welcome right from the front desk, everyone is so friendly. Doctor Morgan is so cool, he just knows how to talk to kids so they get comfortable, my son loves him. His assistant was amazing too. Today was our third visit at Children’s Dentistry of Manatee and the experience was excellent as usual.
Great service. They treat the kids very friendly and all the staff is very kind.
Excellent service from the receptionist, the nurses, and the doctor; I loved it, everyone was very attentive and friendly.
This office is fantastic. I wouldn’t take my daughter to any other place. They take excellent care of their patients and keep them comfortable. Normally she doesn’t want to go to any doctor or visit , here it’s the opposite. Highly recommend this office 100%
I was hesitant, due to the fact that they don’t accept our insurance and I would have to pay out of pocket, but from the moment we stepped inside we knew we had found our new dentist. The place is beautiful. The staff was so kind to my son. A truly wonderful experience.
The dental hygienist was very patient with my 8 year old, and adjusted his care based on his comfort needs. The Dr. is amazing! He was so calming, soothing, and very friendly. They both also provided my son with the appropriate level of education, for him to easily understand how to care for his teeth. We will definitely continue taking him there, for his dental care.
Great place! We didn’t have to wait long at all. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles, which made us feel comfortable right away. The dentist was incredibly patient and gentle with my daughter, taking the time to make sure she felt at ease. We had a really positive experience and will definitely be returning!
Dr. Bryant is very kind and knowledgeable. His dental assistants are very friendly and put my little one at ease so it isn't a scary experience for her. The office staff are very nice as well. Overall always a great experience.
It was my daughter’s first time at the dentist and they did a great job. She was so happy about coming home with her new toothbrush and toy! Thank you!
We’ve been going to Children’s Dentistry of Manatee for over 10 years, and the care has always been outstanding. Dr. Bryan Morgan is excellent. He is kind, patient, and wonderful with children.

Such an amazing team..my son who isn’t crazy about going to the dentist is calm and relaxed every time he goes here.
We just moved from Maryland we are so pleased to have found such a wonderful dentist and team for my three year old boy Noah. He had so much fun at the dentist and is looking forward to returning 😊
We have trusted Dr. Morgan with all four of our boys, and we couldn’t be happier. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and Dr. Morgan consistently goes above and beyond to make each visit a positive experience. Our older boys also had their orthodontic treatment here, which made everything so convenient. It’s wonderful having pediatric dentistry and ortho all in one place. We highly recommend this office!
I have a five year old who has extreme anxiety at the doctor’s office and even more so, the dentist. Dr. McQueen was absolutely wonderful with her every step of the way. She was so sweet and caring and I will never forget that! Thank you so much to her and to the wonderful office staff at Children’s Dentistry of Manatee.
Nate had his first dentist appointment today. All day I was very nervous about what his experience would be like and to my Great surprise it was a beautiful experience. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted with great delight, throughout his cleaning she walked us through every step of what would happen and what would happen next. His dentist was wonderful and amazing. Thank you for letting him have such a wonderful experience at the dentist. It was definitely the highlight of the day and he has not stopped talking about what a wonderful time he had.
My visit at children's dentistry of manatee was exceptional. I have a daughter who is nonverbal and a has development delays however the team in bradenton didnt bat an eye to any of it. They assured me that everything was fine and the entire team was equipped to communicate and assist with my daughter. It was so nice because I've been bumped around a few different dentist offices and I'm glad I landed here. Specifically Dr. Bryan Morgan was really nice and my daughter immediately took to him. Strongly recommend 👌
Dr Morgan and team are the BEST!! We drive over 40 mins to bring our little one here, but it’s worth it!!!
We love all the staff at Children’s Dentistry! We met Dr Schmidt today and she was phenomenal with both kids!

Dr. Gordon is a wonderful day. He’s been my son dentist since he’s been two years. He’s always been patient, Gentle and always in good spirits. My son visit today was awesome. He loves to go to the dentist and watch child to go to the dentist because that has always made his experience. Wonderful I want to thank the children dentistry staff for always being very transparent. Great customer service clean atmosphere.
The dentist took the time to explain the issue with my son's tooth and the steps needed to get his dental health back on track. The staff was friendly and made us feel comfortable. They also are professional and their communication is excellent.
Couldn't have taken my daughter anywhere better for her first dentist appointment. The entire staff was amazing and the environment was very warm and welcoming. My daughter was so excited to pick out of the treasure box and put her name on the board and said she can't wait until she can go back!
Took my son for his 1st dentist appointment here today. The entire staff from the front desk, the hygienist, and the dentist were very nice. Of course, there were tears, but everybody took the time needed with him & answered every question I had. I know he'll be in great hands here.
Highly recommend dr Morgan, his staff was very nice and explained everything, very personable and honest, he had a plan for my sons cavities instead of other offices referring me out after they saw his X-rays. I will definitely be bringing all 3 of my kids here.
Children's Dentist of Manatee is truly exceptional! I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The front desk staff went above and beyond by helping me locate my insurance information when I wasn’t even sure what it was—such a relief! Dr. Kristan McQueen, DMD, Pediatric Dentist, was especially outstanding. She took the time to have me look directly in my kids’ mouths so I could clearly understand the issues they were experiencing. I also loved the equipment they use—it’s like a gentle power wash for their teeth and removed stains so quickly! Dr. McQueen even showed me exactly what to buy so my kids can see where they’re missing when brushing. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and easy to talk to. I left feeling confident and informed, and my kids left smiling. Highly recommend Children’s Dentist of Manatee to any parent looking for top-quality, compassionate dental care!
My granddaughter with special needs gets her care at this dentist office. Without fail, everyone ( the front desk personnel, hygenists, and dentists) is friendly and encouraging. My granddaughter actually goes here without fear and sits still during her checkups. They are wonderful and I am grateful! They deserve 10 stars!!

I took my 11 month old for his first dental visit and it was a superb experience. All the staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive with my son. Dr. Morgan was patient with my little and took the time to address all my questions. My son was so comfortable in the office that he was okay with getting x-rays and sat in the chair to be examined like a whole big boy. Highly recommended Childrens Dentistry of Manatee.
We love this office! Every member of their team, from office staff to the dentists, make my children feel welcome and comfortable. The wait times are short and appointments are thorough. I highly recommend to anyone seeking pediatric dental care!
I as a parent am so thankful to live near such a great children’s dentistry. I have two littles and we have been going to Children’s of Manatee dental in Bradenton for about four years now.
