We love this practice for our pediatric dentist. I bring my 9 year old and 3 year old every 6 months and have had nothing but pleasant experiences. The techs are great at what they do and speak to my 3 year old in a way he can comprehend. Dr. Varghese is warm and friendly as are all of the hygienists.

This place is magical, which is one of the first things you’ll notice when you walk in. Woman-owned, women-staffed, gentle, supportive, caring, and highly-skilled, Once Upon a Smile will care for your little ones like their own and prepare them for a lifetime of oral and dental health.

My 7-year-old has hypoplastic baby molars. She’s needed 3 caps since she was 2 and went into her first visit with Leslie and Dr. Sharon with a justifiable fear of dentistry. After the first quick and painless x-ray, she threw up her hands and loudly exclaimed, “I FINALLY FOUND MY DENTIST!!!” The rest of the visit was smooth as silk, and before we left, she INSISTED upon taking the picture with the sign!

I really love this pediatric dentist. We've been clients almost 2 years and when my insurance switched it was a priority to select one so we could keep him here. My son has always gone in on his own to his cleanings which I sincerely appreciate as he does not fear the dentist but rather grown to love his cleanings! He's only 4! Everyone is so incredibly kind and Dr. Varghese is so patient, caring and truly listens to any concerns. A really great practice all around. Thank you!

Still love this place as does my son! I love that he does not fear them since they've been so reassuring to him since a toddler. He has been going into his cleanings alone since I can remember! Thank you for all your staff does 🙂

Update: all these years and new location later and still the best pediatric dentist around! New office is a kid's dream. Thank you staff and doctors for all your efforts! 🙂

Dr. Sharon and her entire team are wonderful and extremely patient with our autistic twins. We are so happy that our kids are under Dr. Sharon’s care!

The staff & Dr Sharon were great. Explains things to child as well as us. Very patient and not rushed in performing the cleaning & explaining. My son usually hates the dentist experience but this time he said “it was good & no pain at all.”
There are Nintendo, Xbox,& tablets that kids can play, while in the waiting room. TV on the ceiling in each room. The decor is very magical with the fairy light clouds and theme rooms. The office is very clean and bright!
