About Brisa Dental
For years, as general dentists, we had the privilege of caring for patients of all ages. But time and time again, we found ourselves drawn to the youngest patients—their curiosity, their laughter, and the opportunity to shape positive dental experiences from the start. We realized that many children feel anxious about dental visits, often because their first experiences weren’t tailored to their needs. We wanted to change that.
That’s why we created this kid-focused dental practice—a space designed to make dentistry fun, engaging, and educational for children. From the moment they walk through the door, kids will feel safe, comfortable, and even excited about their visit. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional care while fostering healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Our mission is simple: to help children build a positive relationship with dental care, ensuring bright, confident smiles for years to come.

"I love to connect with my patients on their level, from singing Frozen songs with kids to connecting with adults over parenting, career, and family life. Dentistry is my craft, but building those connections with others is my passion."
