Office Tour
Our office was created just for kids—from babies to teens—including children with special health needs. We focus on gentle care, education, and making every visit easy and positive for both children and parents.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide complete dental care in a safe, friendly place. We help children stay healthy by teaching them and their families how to care for their teeth. We also believe in preventing dental problems before they start.
Family-Focused Care
We treat every child as a unique individual. We know each child has their own needs, fears, and personality. That’s why we take our time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and heard. Our team works closely with parents and encourages them to be a part of their child’s dental care.
Our Team and Training
At Peninsula Children’s Dentistry, our entire dental team is trained to care for children. We stay up to date with the latest in pediatric dental care and behavior guidance. Our dentists and support staff understand how to talk to children and help them feel calm. We also know how to care for children with special needs and medical conditions. You can trust us to provide gentle, expert care during every visit.

Why Early Dental Visits Matter?
We recommend that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth comes in. These early visits help us check for any problems and give parents helpful tips on brushing, nutrition, and teething. Starting dental care early helps children build healthy habits and lowers the chance of dental problems in the future.

We’re a Green Dental Office
At Peninsula Children’s Dentistry, we care about both kids and the planet. That’s why we built a “green” dental office using environmentally friendly materials and practices. Here’s how we help protect the earth:
- We’re a paperless office and use secure digital records.
- We use digital X-rays, which lower radiation and don’t need chemicals.
- Our dry vacuum saves over 500 gallons of water every day.
- Our floors and cabinets are made from recycled materials.
- We use special paints and lights that are better for the environment.
- Even our website is hosted on a green-certified server.
Dr. Purvi Zavery has even written articles about green dentistry that were featured in Bay Area magazines.
We believe that great dental care can go hand in hand with caring for our environment. When you visit us, you’re helping support a healthier future for your child—and for the planet.
We look forward to meeting you and your family! At Peninsula Children’s Dentistry, your child’s comfort, safety, and smile are our top priorities.
