Who I see
Every child, whatever their needs
I’m a board-certified pediatric dentist, and I see children from birth to 18 at three offices in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. Most of my days are ordinary pediatric dentistry: a cleaning, a first visit, a filling, a worried parent and a child who isn’t sure about any of it.
Caring for children with special healthcare needs is my specialty — it’s what other dentists and physicians refer to me for — but it isn’t the limit of my practice. Whatever brings your child in, the approach is the same: explain it first, take the time it takes, and make the visit one they’ll come back to.
Today was our first visit, and my twins and I had a wonderful experience. The office was very clean and professional. Our hygienist, McKenzie, and Dr. Ankita were both fantastic! We look forward to coming back.

Five-star Google review.
Dr. Ankita is absolutely wonderful. The dental technicians are top tier. And the receptionists are amazing!! This whole facility and their dental team have been fast, kind, informative and overall, extraordinary! They have handled my children's dental care for over 5 years and I'd never recommend another place. Bring your children here, you won't be disappointed! I give 10/5 stars!
