"Great place. We moved from out of state and was looking for a pediatric dentist. First visit Dr. Arafat was amazing she started to build a positive relationship with our son right off back. She made our visit a personal experience & family oriented. Not only that, but she gave great advice or insight for our son teeth to grow healthy and strong."

"We had the best experience at Tiny Dental Co with Dr. Arafat.
My son has autism, so we were pretty anxious going into the appointment since doctor visits can be tough for him. But Dr. Arafat immediately made us feel comfortable. She was so patient, so calm, and just gets kids. She has such a special way about her. Because she took her time and met him where he was, she was able to get so much more done than we ever expected.
She is truly an angel. We are so, so grateful for her and the entire staff at Tiny Dental Co. Everyone was kind and welcoming, and the office is conveniently located and really comfortable, which made everything that much easier.
I would absolutely recommend them to anyone with kids, especially families with special needs. We’re beyond thankful we found her! "

"Dr. Arafat is extremely kind, patient, and thorough - she was very gentle with my daughter who was nervous about a loose tooth, and took the time to review both my kids’ x-rays with me and provide anticipatory guidance. The office is clean and very cute. Would highly recommend!"

"We had the most amazing experience with Dr. Sarah Arafat and her incredible team at Tiny Dental Co on Creekside Green! Our 3-year-old was timid and absolutely terrified of the dentist, but Dr. Sarah and her staff were so kind, patient, and encouraging that they completely turned things around. They made every part of the visit so pleasant and even magical! Out toddler left smiling and can’t wait to go back! I’m so grateful we found Dr. Sarah and her wonderful team. They truly go above and beyond every step of the way to make little ones feel safe, comfortable, and cared for."

"We had the best experience at Tiny Dental Co with both of our kids (ages 6 and 2). From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, patient, and kind. They made my 6-year-old feel confident and comfortable and were AMAZING with my 2-year-old which is no small feat at the dentist! The environment is calm, fun, and truly kid-friendly. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients and families. We’re so thankful to have found Tiny Dental Co and highly recommend them to any parents looking for a great pediatric dentist!"
