Son Shine Pediatric Dentistry

Son Shine Pediatric Dentistry is a child-focused dental practice in Waterford, Pennsylvania, just south of Erie. Led by Dr. Joe DiBenedetto, a board-certified pediatric dentist with more than five years of experience, the practice welcomes infants, toddlers, children, teens, and children with special needs. Its friendly team aims to make visits calm, comfortable, and positive while helping young patients build healthy smiles.

Services include dental checkups and cleanings, preventive care, restorative treatments, dental crowns, tooth extractions, sedation dentistry, and emergency care. The practice encourages families to begin routine visits as early as six months of age and offers same-day appointments for dental emergencies. Son Shine accepts Medicaid and most major PPO dental insurance plans, helps families navigate coverage, and recommends CareCredit financing for those seeking payment options.

Named in loving tribute to Dr. Joe and his wife Meagan’s son, Samson Shine, the practice emphasizes compassionate care and community support. Dr. Joe participates in Give Kids a Smile and Mission of Mercy, reflecting the practice’s commitment to helping local children access trustworthy dental care.
