Welcome to Lamorinda Tooth Buds
About us
We are very excited to be the first pediatric dental office in Lafayette. We truly enjoy and feel honored to serve the Lamorinda community and aim to make each dental visit a fun experience that your child will not forget!
Our Tooth Buds name was inspired by the fact that teeth stem from tooth buds, but also that we are "buds" with our patients and their families! The décor in each of the rooms in our office was inspired by a place that Dr. Roy has lived that has been important to her. We have a San Francisco, New York, and Boston room.We can't wait to have you check out our cities and have you become one of our "Tooth Buddies" soon!
