Meet Your Child’s Dentist
Dr. Karina Vergara
Meet Dr. Karina, our new associate pediatric dentist! We are delighted to bring her like-minded expertise and warm, calming chairside manner to our practice. She looks forward to meeting all of our wonderful patients and families!
Infant Dentistry
By bringing your little one in at an early age, you’ll get a better understanding of their oral health from the beginning. These visits are also vital for early detection of dental issues, monitoring of proper growth and development, and proper parent or caregiver education.
Mild Sedation
Mild sedation is an excellent option for helping your child feel calm and comfortable during dental procedures. We provide child-safe doses of sedation so we can complete their treatment while minimizing negative associations with the dentist and oral hygiene.
Preventive Care
Regular preventive care is the key to long-term oral health and a strong smile, especially for young patients. At South Coast Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, we offer comprehensive preventive treatments to keep your child’s teeth healthy and strong.
Quality, Tailored Pediatric Care
What Makes Us Different
Pediatric dentistry is built on a foundation of compassion, trust, and commitment to excellent care. At South Coast Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, our top priority is to see our young patients happy and healthy, and we’ll do whatever it takes to ensure they leave our office with a smile!
Compassionate Special Needs Care
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to pediatric dental care, and we take your child’s unique needs and preferences into account whenever we’re planning their treatment. Our team also has additional training and experience working with all kinds of children with varying degrees of physical, developmental, and emotional abilities and needs.
Serving Dartmouth for 20+ Years
Our team has been helping children in the Dartmouth community thrive for more than two decades, and we still love every minute of it! The best part about being your child’s trusted dental home is that we get to watch as their smile continues to develop throughout their childhood. Through consistent, trustworthy care, we’ll set your little one up for a life of oral health!
Warm, Fun Space
At South Coast Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, we’ve created a space that’s welcoming and fun for children and adults! With our kid-friendly environment featuring a fun photo booth and themed rooms (like ocean life, farm animals, and New England sports!), we’re confident your child will love going to the dentist. Toys in the chair and prizes at the end don't hurt either!
Quality Care You Can Trust
Taking your child to the dentist for the first time isn’t just scary for the child – we understand this is a huge step for parents, too. We prioritize building a relationship of trust with the entire family from day one so you can feel informed and confident your kiddo’s smile is in good hands.
Emergency Care
We know accidents happen. As part of the South Coast Smiles family, you can rest assured that we’ll be there for your child’s smile when they need us most. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if your child is dealing with a dental emergency.
