One of few Spanish-speaking pediatric dentists in the Tampa Bay area, Dr. Denisse Lasanta educates children on how to properly care for their teeth.

“With gentle hands and compassion, I teach your child how to care for their teeth so they won’t need dental work in the future,” she says. “As a doctor, teacher and devoted parent, I can tell you what a positive dental experience means to me. At Dental Studio 4 Kids, each child is given individual attention and is treated with care and gentleness, as if they were our very own.”

Board Certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and recognized by her peers as a2022 Top Dentist, Dr. Lasanta trains doctors in Solea dental laser technology. Solea laser allows for needle-free dentistry when restoring dental decay. This state-of-the-art laser is specifically designed for soft tissue (gums), hard tissue (enamel) and bone tissue treatment. Dr. Lasanta is perhaps the only dentist in the area to use the Solea dental laser.

“It is virtually painless, noiseless and vibrationless,” she explains. “This means a much more comfortable treatment for our young patients.”

Dr. Lasanta is also a professor in pediatric dentistry residency at a community health center inTampa Bay. She trains general dentists working toward their certification in pediatric dentistry with the NYU Langone Dental Medicine (Florida site), also holding privileges at Tampa General Hospital and BayCare Hospitals.
