Family Dentistry in Aberdeen, SD

Finding a dental home for your whole family should feel like one less thing to worry about, not a logistical puzzle you piece together across multiple offices. When you have little ones who need their first checkup, teenagers dreading their appointment, and adults who have been overdue for a cleaning, it helps to have one trusted team who knows everyone by name.

At Smile Solutions, Dr. Amy Scepaniak and Dr. Aleaha Fettig Ledeboer have been caring for Aberdeen and the surrounding communities since 2009. With no pediatric dentist in Brown County, our practice fills a genuine need, welcoming patients of every age under one roof, from a child’s very first visit to routine care for grandparents. We offer preventive dental services dental services ranging from cleanings and checkups to same-day crowns, Invisalign, and more.

The Value of Seeing the Same Dentist Year After Year 

Routine dental care is one of the most impactful investments a family can make in long-term health, yet it is easy to put off. According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, roughly one in four children in the U.S. missed preventive dental care in a recent year, and nearly 23% had teeth that were not in good or excellent condition. For families in northeastern South Dakota, where dental offices can be few and far between, access to consistent care is especially important.

Starting care early also builds habits that follow children into adulthood. When kids grow up visiting the same familiar faces at the same office, the dentist stops feeling like something to dread and starts feeling like a normal part of staying healthy. That continuity is something we take seriously at Smile Solutions, and it is one of the reasons families across Brown County and the surrounding region have trusted us for more than 15 years.

Preventive Care for Every Age

Keeping small problems from becoming bigger ones starts with showing up consistently. From a toddler’s first visit to an adult’s annual exam, these are the services that form the foundation of a healthy smile for every member of your family. 

Checkups and Cleanings

Twice-yearly checkups are the foundation of a healthy smile. At each visit, our team performs a thorough examination, professional cleaning, and any necessary X-rays. For children, these appointments also track when baby teeth come in and overall development. For adults, they help us catch small issues before they become costly problems.

Dental Sealants for Kids

Sealants are a simple, painless way to protect children’s back teeth from cavities. We apply a thin coating to the chewing surfaces of molars, where food and bacteria tend to collect. For kids who are still building their brushing habits, sealants offer a valuable layer of protection.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps teeth resist decay at every age. We offer fluoride treatments as part of routine preventive visits for children and adults alike. In a community where children may not see another dental provider nearby, staying on top of preventive care helps families avoid more involved treatment down the road.

Restorative Care the Whole Family Can Count On

When cavities happen, or a tooth needs attention, our office provides dental fillings, dental crowns, and same-day crown technology using CAD-CAM equipment, so most crowns are completed in a single appointment. For families juggling packed schedules, that kind of efficiency matters.

We also provide dental sealants and dental bridges when needed, along with guidance on mouthguards for kids who play contact sports. Our goal is to be the practice your family never has to leave: one team, one relationship, and one less phone number to keep track of.

A Practice Rooted in The Aberdeen Community

Smile Solutions is not a chain. Dr. Scepaniak founded the practice here in Aberdeen in 2009 because she believed the region deserved a dental home built on genuine relationships. She originally trained as an accountant before earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry. That detail-oriented approach shows in everything from treatment planning to her communication with patients. Dr. Fettig Ledeboer joined in 2020 after earning her DDS from Creighton University School of Dentistry, and together they have built a practice known for being warm, thorough, and community-first.

Both doctors are members of the American Dental Association and actively support local causes, including Safe Harbor, the Salvation Army, and The Humane Society. They have helped build beds with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, donated to local fundraisers, and are working to increase hands-on community involvement throughout the year. When you walk through our doors, you are choosing a practice that is part of Aberdeen, not a corporate group managing 30 locations.
