Northeast Children’s Dentistry · Village Drive
Pediatric Dentist in Northeast San Antonio


Our Village Drive office is the original home of Northeast Children’s Dentistry. Dr. William Coppola founded the practice in 1979, and today his children, Dr. Lauren Greene and Dr. Kevin Coppola, carry that family tradition forward as its owners. We’re proud to remain a family-owned practice serving children and families in Northeast San Antonio.
From your baby’s first visit through the teenage years, we want your family to feel comfortable asking questions and confident about your child’s care. Our approach centers on prevention, clear explanations, and helping children feel at ease. Whether you’re joining us for the first time or have been part of NECD for years, we look forward to welcoming your family.
Helping growing smiles develop
As your child grows, we pay attention to the development of their mouth and jaws, along with their teeth. Our airway-focused approach includes considering breathing as part of that bigger picture. We help you understand any concerns we notice and talk through next steps that support healthy development.
