Finding a dental office you can trust with your child’s smile is one of the most important decisions you can make as a parent. At Southern Dental Associates – Willowbrook, we understand that positive early dental experiences shape lifelong oral habits and healthy attitudes toward dental care.

From your child’s first visit to adolescence, we are committed to helping them build confident, cavity-free smiles.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday—or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early checkups give our team an opportunity to:
By starting care early, children learn that the dentist’s office is a positive and friendly place—not something to fear.
At Southern Dental Associates – Willowbrook, we focus on prevention, patient comfort, and education. Our team understands that children need reassurance, compassion, and clear communication. We take extra time to explain each step, show them the tools we use, and ensure they always feel safe.
Our goal is simple: Make every visit enjoyable so your child develops lifelong oral health habits.
We provide comprehensive children’s dental care tailored to your child’s age, needs, and development.
Routine checkups are the foundation of children's dentistry. During these visits, we:
Prevention is key—regular cleanings help reduce the risk of cavities and ensure early detection of any issues.
Even with great home care, children can still develop cavities or experience dental injuries. Our team provides:
Every restorative treatment is performed with the utmost gentleness. We use child-friendly techniques and take steps to minimize anxiety and discomfort.
Dental sealants are one of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent cavities in kids. We often recommend sealants for molars and premolars—teeth with deep grooves where bacteria tend to accumulate.
Sealants:
The application process is quick, painless, and ideal for helping children maintain cavity-free smiles.
Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps protect children’s teeth from decay. Our fluoride varnish is safe, effective, and recommended for children at higher risk of cavities.
We believe patient education begins early. During each visit, we work with children to help them understand:
Parents also receive guidance on habits, nutrition, oral hygiene routines, and developmental milestones.
Some children need a little extra time or reassurance during their visit. Our kid-friendly team uses:
We make sure each visit feels safe and calm—even for children with dental anxiety or special behavioral needs.
Yes. Our team welcomes children with sensory sensitivities, behavioral challenges, and developmental differences. We adapt our approach to meet each child's unique needs.
Baby teeth play a critical role in:
Even though baby teeth eventually fall out, keeping them healthy prevents pain, infection, and early orthodontic issues.
Most children benefit from checkups every six months. Some may require more frequent visits depending on their cavity risk, tooth alignment, or oral habits.

I had a 1:00 appointment today to replace my temporary crown with my permanent crown. The dentist was Dr. Piletti and the assistant was Crystal (CC). I have always been very fearful of going to the dentist for anything but for whatever reason I felt very relaxed and comfortable with these two ladies working on my mouth. I felt absolutely no fear at all and I felt no pain either. Crystal kept talking to me and made me feel relaxed. I recommend Dr Piletti, Faye and Crystal (CC) to anybody that's fearful like me. Thank y'all soo much for being soo kind to me.
I am writing this review as the granddaughter of one of your customers. I like to say is its been a pleasure working with Ms Chrystal at the front desk. She is absolutely amazing, Her customer service is 5 Star✨️. This is what real customer service & concern looks like. And Dr. White is simply the best. (WE) appreciate everything. You both went above and beyond to understand and meet my grandmother needs. 👵🏾 It was refreshing to receive amazing care and concern.
Update - Dr White is STILL AMAZING... and the dental hygienist was replaced! Dr White is awesome but the dental hygienist has a horrible bedside manner. She's very pushy and doesn't listen to customers. She pushes big pharma!! Who ever heard of $95 mouthwash!?! Also she is heavy handed when cleaning. Tried it within me but then again with my teenage son. I'm sending him some place else.
Always a positive n pleasant experience. It is always service with a smile. No waiting on time with our appointment. My daughter says everyone is so nice. Thank you
Dr White and her staff are very friendly and professional! They really make an extra effort to ensure the patient understands both the needed procedures as well as the cost so you can make an informed decision. And, Dr Whites work is EXCELLENT! I had a space between my two front teeth and they were crooked. She fixed that in two visits and I had been to two other dentist prior to coming to her and never got them properly repaired! I love her work, her personality, and her friendly staff! She will be my dentist for life! 😁
