Palm Valley Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics in Scottsdale
I’m Dr. Olga Dolghier, a pediatric dentist in Scottsdale. My goal is to create a calm and positive dental experience for every child. Palm Valley Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics provides dental care for infants, children, and teens, including preventive exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, restorative and orthodontic care, and emergency dental care.
My team and I use child-friendly, age-appropriate techniques to help children maintain healthy teeth and gums at every stage. We help children develop good oral hygiene habits while caring for common pediatric dental concerns such as cavities, tooth decay, dental emergencies, and bite or tooth alignment issues.
Specialized Pediatric Dental Care
Every child develops differently, and some dental needs require more than routine preventive visits. We offer focused care for tongue-tie concerns, airway development, tooth extractions, and children who need additional support during dental treatment. Our team considers each child’s development and individual needs when planning care.
Orthodontic Care
As children grow, changes in tooth position can affect how their teeth meet and function together. Our orthodontic care addresses concerns such as crowding, spacing, crooked teeth, overbites, and underbites. We use braces when appropriate to improve tooth position and bite alignment as children grow.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
For suitable teens and adults, Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet way to improve tooth position and address certain bite problems. The removable trays make it easy to eat, brush, and floss as usual. Invisalign can gradually straighten crooked teeth, close gaps, and improve certain alignment concerns for a more balanced, confident smile.

Our Pediatric Dentistry Services for Growing Smiles
We have created a warm and playful space where kids can feel relaxed and parents can feel good about their child’s care.
Routine Checkups & Cleanings
Kids smile a lot, and we love helping keep those smiles bright. During checkups, we gently clean teeth, remove plaque, and check for any early signs of cavities or other concerns. We also teach fun, simple brushing and flossing habits so children can take great care of their teeth at home.
Cavity Fillings & Preventive Care
If your child has a cavity, we use tooth-colored fillings that look natural and blend right in. We offer dental sealants to help protect back teeth from decay. Preventive dental care is a big part of keeping little smiles healthy.
Baby’s First Dental Visit
Your baby’s first dental visit happens around the first birthday or when the first tooth appears. At this visit, we examine your baby’s mouth, clean the teeth if needed, and share easy care tips. Parents get guidance on teething, thumb-sucking, pacifier use, and making brushing fun from the start.
Braces & Invisalign
When it is time to straighten your child’s teeth, we offer braces and Invisalign clear aligners. We look at your child’s smile, bite, and growth to recommend the best option. Some children may start seeing changes in as little as 6 to 12 months.
Tongue-Tie & Lip-Tie Laser Treatments
Some babies and children have tongue-ties or lip-ties that can affect feeding, speech, oral development, or brushing. We use a gentle CO₂ laser to perform safe releases in just a short visit.
Sedation & Special Care
Some children feel extra nervous at the dentist or need help staying calm during longer treatments. We offer safe sedation options to help children feel relaxed and comfortable during care. We also provide support for children with special healthcare needs.
Airway Obstruction
Snoring, restless sleep, and teeth grinding can sometimes point to airway problems. Our pediatric dental team can check for the signs of airway obstruction and help guide treatment that supports better breathing, better sleep, and healthier development.
In-Office Sedation
Dental visits should feel manageable, not scary. Our in-office sedation services help children stay calm and comfortable during treatment without visiting another facility. It is one more way we make care easier for families.
Advanced Technology for Better Dental Care
Modern technology provides detailed information to support diagnostic and treatment decisions. These tools help us evaluate dental needs and plan care with greater precision and efficiency.
iTero® Digital Scanners
Our iTero digital scanners create detailed 3D images of your child’s teeth. These images support orthodontic planning, Invisalign treatment, and progress monitoring.
Low-Radiation Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays provide clear images of teeth and surrounding structures with low radiation exposure. They can also reveal concerns that may not be visible during a routine exam.
Laser Dentistry
We use dental laser technology for certain soft-tissue procedures, including tongue-tie release and lip-tie treatment. It can help minimize bleeding and may reduce the need for sutures in appropriate cases.
Kerr™ Composite Fillings
Kerr composite materials provide tooth-colored restorations that blend naturally with surrounding teeth. They offer a conservative option for restoring damaged teeth while maintaining a natural-looking smile.
