Give your child focused dental care from the first tooth through the teen years. Our board-certified pediatric dentist provides preventive, restorative, emergency, sedation, special needs, and frenectomy services in a calm setting designed for growing smiles.

Pediatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of infants, children, and teenagers. It includes routine exams, cavity prevention, treatment for damaged teeth, dental emergency care, growth monitoring, and guidance for healthy habits at home. A pediatric dentist completes additional specialty training in childhood development, behavior guidance, sedation, and dental conditions affecting young patients.
This experience helps children receive age-appropriate treatment while parents gain clear information about every recommendation. Pediatric dental care also considers how the teeth, jaws, bite, and oral tissues change as a child grows.
Dr. Sarunphorn “Sara” Rasamimari is board-certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Public Health with a minor in Psychology from Indiana University, received her DMD from Midwestern University, and completed her pediatric dental residency at NYU. As a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association.
Dr. Sara follows current professional guidance when planning treatment. Dr. Sara understands that children respond differently to dental care. She considers age, development, medical history, communication style, anxiety, and previous experiences when recommending treatment. Her goal is to provide appropriate care while helping children build trust in the dental office.

Recommendations consider dental findings, medical history, development, comfort, and communication needs. Patients with anxiety or special healthcare requirements receive an individualized plan.
Low-radiation digital X-rays and current pediatric techniques support accurate evaluation and efficient planning. Technology is used when it provides clinical value.
