Pediatric Dentist

Meet Dr. Justin Chan

Dr. Justin has been a pediatric dentist practicing in the DFW Metroplex since 2012, and he never gets tired of being able to help children escape dental pain and improve not only their oral health, but their general mood in a matter of minutes through his care! His goal is to use his knowledge, skill, and passion to empower children and their parents to better care for their oral health by showing how simple and fun dental visits can be. He can’t wait to meet your family here at Sprout Dentistry for Kids.

Dr. Justin was born in San Francisco and raised in the Bay Area. He now lives in McKinney with his wife Sayaka and their daughters Erin and Maia. They also share their home with three rescue cats: Shio, Mugi, and Ume.

In his free time, he enjoys martial arts, meditation, watching sports, and spending time with his family. And yes—he’s also an accomplished balloon artist!

Why Did You Become a Pediatric Dentist?

Dr. Justin studied martial arts from a young age, focusing on Shaolin Kung Fu, Judo, and Tai Chi at Yee’s Martial Arts Academy in the California Bay Area. His Grandmaster, Sifu John Yee, emphasized compassion and helping others, which shaped Dr. Justin’s character and inspired his passion for working with children. Teaching martial arts classes sparked his love for mentoring kids.

He was also inspired by his childhood dentist and orthodontist. Their positive influence showed him how powerful a healthy, happy smile could be—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. During college and dental school, Dr. Justin pursued this passion through outreach programs, charity events, and leadership roles in pediatric-focused organizations.

One moment that has stayed with him was treating a terminally ill child through the Make a Wish Foundation. The child’s wish was simply to have a dental cleaning. Dr. Justin and his team decorated the room with balloons, and the boy smiled the entire time. That moment, and many others, are why Dr. Justin is passionate about what he does.

Meet Dr. Sage Yoo

Dr. Sage truly loves being a pediatric dentist. He’s passionate about helping kids feel confident, comfortable, and cared for. Patients love his calm, approachable nature, and parents trust his commitment to personalized, honest care.

Dr. Sage doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment plans. He listens carefully to each family’s needs and priorities to create meaningful, compassionate care for every child.

Since relocating from Boston in 2015, Dr. Sage has loved living in the Dallas area with his wife Heather and daughter Genevieve. They recently moved into a ranch-style home and are expecting a new addition to the family!

They also have six chickens and a dog named Lucky—who brushes his own teeth. When not in the office, Dr. Sage enjoys golfing, DIY projects, and spending time outdoors with his family.

Why Did You Become a Pediatric Dentist?

Dr. Sage’s journey to dentistry was unique. He originally studied electrical engineering at Purdue and worked in mortgage banking before discovering his true passion—pediatric dentistry.

Having grown up in Korea, he experienced a shift in access to quality dental care after moving to the U.S. That experience sparked a desire to make a difference and advocate for access to compassionate, equitable care for all families.

Once he entered dental school, Dr. Sage knew pediatrics was his calling. His ability to connect with kids and make dentistry fun led him to specialize and pursue board certification. Today, he feels grateful to help children build lifelong healthy habits through trust, education, and gentle care.

This is honestly the best experience we’ve ever had with a dentist. It’s not that our previous dentists were bad, but Dr. Brice truly impressed us in a way I didn’t expect. I’m very grateful to have found him, and we will definitely keep coming back to him from now on!

Dr. Justin Chan and Dr. Bryce are absolutely fantastic! I have been very pleased with both of them and I take both of my daughters to this office. They are thorough and have good connections with orthodontist in the area as well. The office staff is very friendly and they are timely with the visits where I find less than a five minute wait time before being called in permitting that we are on time ourselves.

We visited at least 4 pediatric dentists for our son and Sprout Dentistry for Kids was by far the BEST dental office we could find!!! My son had a fear of dentist and let me tell you, it was like night and day walking into their office! It’s over an hour away from us but absolutely worth the drive Dr. Justin and his staff are the SWEETEST people you will ever meet, they are the few that are among those in medical care that still have that passion in their daily work!! I’m so beyond grateful to have stumbled upon them!! You will NOT regret coming here!!!
