We're the dentists you wish you had growing up. Board-certified pediatric specialists who genuinely love what they do — and genuinely love the kids they do it for.
We're Dr. Boudreau and Dr. Ricker — but to our spouses, kids, dogs, cats, and HVAC guys, we're really just Alex and Kevin. We love our specialty and what we do, but more than anything, we love helping people — especially the little ones.
We founded Chatham Pediatric Dentistry because we wanted to build something different: a practice where kids actually look forward to coming, where parents feel heard and informed, and where the whole experience feels human — not clinical.
We're Chatham County, Chapel Hill, Durham, and Pittsboro people. We live here, shop here, and raise our families here. We just happen to be the ones holding the fluoride.
We promise to always give you our honest advice, never pressure you into unnecessary treatment, and treat your child with the same care and patience we'd want for our own kids.
We tell you what your child needs — and what they don't. We'll never recommend unnecessary treatment, and we'll always explain our reasoning.
We're your neighbors. We're invested in this community because we live here too. Your family's wellbeing is personal to us.
Both Dr. Ricker and Dr. Boudreau completed full pediatric dentistry residencies. They're not generalists — they're specialists who chose this field because they love it.
We genuinely enjoy what we do. A happy team makes for a happy office, and a happy office makes for a better experience for your child.
You know your child best. We listen, we collaborate, and we make sure you leave every appointment feeling informed and confident.
Great pediatric dental care shouldn't be a luxury. We work with most insurance plans and are committed to making our care accessible to every family.
Dr. Ricker is an avid wildlife photographer. His photos are actually pretty good.
Dr. Boudreau is a certified yoga instructor. She's also a Summa Cum Laude NC State grad.
We're pro-sasquatch. Pro-nessie. Anti-cavity. Our priorities are clear.
We're Tar Heels. Both Dr. Ricker and Dr. Boudreau completed their residencies at UNC Chapel Hill.
Between the two of us, we have several dogs, cats, and children. We are outnumbered.
Dr. Ricker is also a musician. The office playlist is his fault.
New patients are always welcome. We'd love to meet your family.
