Now Open In Lorton – Trusted Pediatric Dentist Launches SmileWorld Pediatric Dentistry

Northern Virginia families now have a new option for high-quality, compassionate dental care with the grand opening of SmileWorld Pediatric Dentistry in Lorton. The new office is led by Dr. April Toyer, a board-certified pediatric dentist and well-known local provider, whose longstanding reputation for excellence began at Lifetime Dental Care in Woodbridge.

With the opening of SmileWorld, Dr. Toyer builds on years of experience treating children with a calm, reassuring approach that puts both kids and parents at ease. The Lorton office represents her deep commitment to making dentistry less stressful—and even enjoyable—for children, while giving families access to the highest standard of pediatric care available in the region.

This new practice is specifically designed with children in mind. From the colorful, welcoming atmosphere to child-sized amenities and sensory-friendly accommodations, every detail at SmileWorld aims to reduce fear and create positive associations with dental care. “Our mission is to give every child a healthy smile and a positive foundation for lifelong dental habits,” says Dr. Toyer. “We’ve created a space that feels safe, comfortable, and even fun.”

SmileWorld offers comprehensive pediatric dental services, including infant exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, space maintainers, crowns, extractions, frenectomies, and emergency dental care. For children who need extra support, the practice also offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and in-office IV sedation, administered safely and with parental guidance. The goal is always the same: to make visits efficient, stress-free, and tailored to each child’s needs.

Dr. Toyer completed her dental training at the University of Maryland and her pediatric residency at Howard University. She is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, an active member of the Virginia Dental Association House of Delegates, and serves as a consultant for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry’s Committee on Sedation and Anesthesia.

With SmileWorld now open in Lorton, Dr. Toyer expands access to families throughout the area—including Woodbridge, Alexandria, Springfield, and beyond—who are seeking specialized dental care in a supportive, kid-centered environment. The new office is now accepting new patients and most major insurance plans, with flexible scheduling and payment options available.

Parents looking for a dental provider who combines clinical excellence with genuine care will find exactly that at SmileWorld Pediatric Dentistry—where every smile matters, and every child is treated with the patience, expertise, and kindness they deserve.
