Healthy Smiles Start Here
At Tooth Town Pediatric Dentistry, we believe caring for children’s teeth is about more than cleanings and checkups. It’s about helping kids feel comfortable, confident, and proud of their smiles, while helping parents feel informed, supported, and at ease.
Our practice was built around one simple idea: when prevention comes first and parents are true partners in care, kids stay healthier and dental visits become something families can feel good about.
We prioritize prevention so families stay ahead of cavities and avoid surprises.
We plan every visit with care so kids feel safe and parents feel heard.
We partner with you, guiding treatment when needed and celebrating healthy smiles.
OUR APPROACH
Prevention First. Partnership Always.
Our preference is prevention. By focusing on proactive care, education, and consistent routines, we help children maintain healthy smiles and often reduce the need for more involved treatment later.
When treatment is needed, we take the time to guide parents through their options. We explain what we’re seeing, why it matters, and what paths are available, so decisions never feel rushed or unclear. Our goal is not just to treat teeth, but to help families understand and feel confident in the care their child receives.
Meet Dr. Steve
Dr. Steve Ghezzi is the founder of Tooth Town Pediatric Dentistry and has dedicated more than 25 years to helping children build healthy, confident smiles. His vision was to create a place where children genuinely enjoy going to the dentist, parents feel informed and confident, and every family receives compassionate, exceptional care.
After earning his dental degree from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, Dr. Steve completed advanced residency training at the University of North Carolina and a Pediatric Dentistry Residency at Children's Hospital of Michigan. There, he gained extensive experience caring for children of all ages, including those with autism, sensory sensitivities, and special healthcare needs.
Known for his calm, friendly, and down-to-earth approach, Dr. Steve believes every child deserves a positive dental experience. His goal is for every patient to leave with a smile and feel excited to return for their next visit.
Dr. Steve serves as President of the Michigan Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and is passionate about supporting children and families both inside and outside the office. He and his wife, Dr. Elisa Ghezzi, have six children and one grandchild. When he's not caring for patients, he enjoys spending time with family, collecting and listening to vinyl records, reading, playing cards, and cheering on his alma mater, the University of Florida Gators, along with the Michigan Wolverines and Detroit Lions.
