Why a Pediatric Dentist and Why Choose Darien Pediatric Dentistry?
Since 2010, Dr. Kate and Dr. Sara have cared for families across Darien, New Canaan, Stamford, Norwalk, and Wilton — combining board-certified expertise with a warm, child-centered philosophy to create a dental home where care is highly skilled, questions are encouraged, and every visit feels calm and tailored to each child.
Pediatric dentists have an additional two to three years of specialized training after four years of dental school and four years of college study. Some pediatric dentists, including Dr. Kiguradze, practice general dentistry before specializing, giving them a unique perspective.
We know that convenience matters to families, which is why we offer Saturday appointments and are available for emergency calls 7 days a week.
