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."

Sidra Butt, D.D.S

Originally from Canada, Dr. Sidra Butt earned her dental degree from KCD before moving to Louisiana, where she completed a two-year General Practice Residency at LSU’s Charity Hospital. With over 20 years of experience in children’s dentistry, Dr. Butt has built her career around providing compassionate, high-quality care to young patients and their families.

After relocating to Richmond, Virginia, she has spent more than 15 years serving the local community, helping children grow up with healthy smiles and positive dental experiences. As a mother of four, Dr. Butt understands the importance of gentle, patient-centered care and strives to make every visit comfortable and stress-free for both children and parents.

Over the years, I’ve learned that great dentistry isn’t just about teeth, it’s about trust. I take pride in creating a space where kids feel safe, parents feel heard, and families leave smiling together.
