We believe a happy dental visit for your child builds a foundation for long-term oral health and hygiene habits. From the moment they walk through the door, we want your kids to enjoy their time with us. As a Board Certified Pediatric dentist, Dr. V. offers parents the comfort of knowing their children are being treated with compassion, understanding, and specialized clinical expertise.
From newborns to adolescents, we offer specialized pediatric dental care to help kids through every phase of growing their smile. Services range from helping children develop healthy hygiene habits to orthodontic options and advanced laser treatments. I can't express my gratitude enough with how patient, kind and gentle he is with my twin 2 year olds and 5 year old.
He was able to calm my 5 year old down and make her feel comfortable, which is monumental since my 5 year old has a terrible fear of the dentist due to previous traumatic experiences at a different practice. My heart was filled when my 5 year old said, "mom, I think I like Dr. V" when" we walked out of the office.

Dr Vakil is an excellent pediatric dentist.
He helped us with out 1 yr old who had a thickened upper frenulum and you could see it starting to affect the orientation of her teeth.
He was so helpful working around our busy schedules since both my wife and I are physicians.
I was very impressed with the facilities, the staff and ultimately the care.
As a member of the medical community I would not hesitate placing my children's oral health care in his hands.
