Dr. Sona J Isharani

Board-certified pediatric dentist, Dr. Isharani, is adored by her patients. As a mother, her expertise in working with children stems from real life experience as well as specialized professional education. “Dr. Sona,” as she is affectionately known to parents and patients, practices with a gentle touch, compassion, and relaxed rapport with children.

Dr. Isharani works hard to create a home-like atmosphere that puts children and parents at ease. She believes in education and preventive care to establish a strong foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Dr. Isharani provides dental care at our neighboring office that is dedicated to pediatric dental care, Triad Pediatric Dentistry. As your child grows older, we will begin to care for them at the Triad Dentistry adult practice so they can maintain continuity of care with the dental family they know and trust.

Committed to providing personalized and positive dental experiences for children
