What Sets Us Apart

Being a mom to three children, Dr. Angela Austin (Dr. Angela) truly understands the delicate balance of caring for little ones — and the trust it takes to place your child in someone else’s hands. The combination of being both a mother and a pediatric dentist allows her to connect with families in a deeply relatable and compassionate way.

She truly gets it.

At Little Dental Studio, we recognize that pediatric dentistry is not only about the child — it’s also about the parent or caregiver. Creating a calming, supportive environment for both is essential to a positive experience. When parents feel at ease, children do too.

As a boutique-style pediatric dental practice, we specialize in caring for children who may need a little extra time, patience, and understanding. This includes:
• younger patients
• children with sensory sensitivities
• children on the autism spectrum
• children with high dental anxiety
• and children who may have had negative dental experiences in the past

We understand the care and complexity this group of patients requires, and we intentionally slow down to meet them where they are. We take time to get to know each child and each family — because trust is built, not rushed.

Dr. Austin has been practicing pediatric dentistry for over fifteen years, and throughout that time she has continued to refine both her clinical skills and her philosophy of care. While she is highly experienced, she also recognized early on that many children were being treated in environments that felt hurried, impersonal, or one-size-fits-all.

That did not sit well with her.

Feeling rushed. Being given generalized treatment plans. Feeling like just another appointment on the schedule — these are not experiences children should have, especially during their earliest dental visits. Small children deserve time, respect, and gentleness. We take this very seriously — and we have fun while doing it.

At Little Dental Studio, we aim to offer a beautiful, thoughtful alternative to traditional pediatric dental experiences. Our care is customized, education-focused, and prevention-driven. We believe in empowering parents and supporting children so that healthy habits are built early and confidently.

We also take a whole-child approach. In addition to dental health, we pay attention to oral development, comfort, breathing patterns, and function — because these systems are closely connected and play an important role in a child’s overall growth and wellbeing.

We believe in a true team approach:
the dental team, the parent, and the child — working together.

With patience, trust, and collaboration, we can help guide children into a lifetime of healthy, confident smiles.
