Smile Ark Pediatric dentistry is a specialized pediatric dental practice located in Fairfield, CT, led by the board-certified pediatric dentist, Dr. Eunice Lee. The clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate oral healthcare for infants, children, and adolescents. Dr. Lee, who received her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Tufts University and completed her pediatric residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital, holds hospital privileges there and serves as a faculty member, teaching future pediatric dentists. The philosophy of Smile Ark is centered on patient-focused care, aiming to create a positive and anxiety-free dental experience for children. The office is designed to be welcoming and comfortable, featuring amenities such as a children's play area and TVs in the exam rooms to help young patients feel at ease. The clinic offers a wide range of services, including preventive dentistry such as routine cleanings and exams, as well as restorative treatments like fillings and crowns.
