Hospital Dentistry in Virginia Beach, VA
For some children, the dental office just isn’t the right setting to safely complete their care—and that’s okay. At Building Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, we’re proud to offer hospital dentistry services through our partnership with Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters. This option allows us to complete complex or extensive treatments under general anesthesia in a controlled, supportive hospital environment.
Whether your child has special healthcare needs, significant anxiety, or simply needs multiple procedures in one visit, hospital dentistry provides a safe, stress-free way to get the care they need—all while surrounded by a team of pediatric specialists.

Why Choose Hospital Dentistry?
Some children face barriers that make traditional dental treatment difficult or even unsafe. Hospital dentistry helps us remove those barriers and prioritize your child’s comfort, safety, and long-term health.
At Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, our board-certified anesthesiologist carefully administers and monitors anesthesia while Dr. Nair and our experienced pediatric team provide high-quality dental care. This setting allows us to complete your child’s treatment in one visit, without fear, discomfort, or unnecessary stress.
This approach is especially helpful for:
- Children with special healthcare needs
- Children with severe dental anxiety or sensory sensitivities
- Children who require multiple procedures
- Infants or toddlers with extensive treatment needs
What Procedures Are Performed?
We’re able to provide the same gentle, comprehensive care your child would receive in our Virginia Beach office—just in a hospital setting where they’re fully asleep and comfortable.
Here are some of the treatments we can complete during a hospital visit:
Preventive Care
- Routine dental check-ups and cleanings

Comfort Is Always a Priority
Even in a hospital setting, we never lose sight of what matters most: your child’s comfort. That’s why we bring our “comfort menu” approach wherever we go. These small touches help make big procedures feel less scary:
- Pediatric chairs and child-sized X-ray sensors
- Flavored toothpastes and fluoride options
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) in-office when applicable
- TVs in each room
- Sunglasses, lip balm, and noise-canceling headphones
- Soft toys, fidget items, blankets, books, and LEGO sets
We go the extra mile to make your child feel safe and supported—every step of the way.
