Dr. Champion is a native of South Jersey and loves serving her local community. After obtaining her dental degree at Temple University, Dr. Champion continued on to specialize in pediatric dentistry at St Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia.

Known to her closest colleagues as 'the tooth whisperer,' Dr Champion prides herself in connecting with her patients and looking out for what 's best for her patients and their families. It 's not uncommon to find her spending additional time providing the TLC your child needs, going the extra mile to address all of your concerns, or even making a tooth necklace for your child.

Outside the office, Dr Champion and her husband Mike can be found on the sidelines of softball and soccer fields across SJ cheering on their daughters. She also keeps very active training with the Mullica Hill Women's Triathlon Club. So don't be surprised if you catch her biking through your town!

Dr. Richard Dela Rosa loves being a pediatric dentist. For him, the specialty is more than addressing oral health: he knows that everything he does can make a profound impression in a childs life. He enjoys being part of helping smiles grow healthy and strong, forming relationships with families, and having a positive, lasting impact on the children he sees and treats.

Dr. Dela Rosa particularly likes connecting with patients who might be fearful in new settings, such as the dental office. He works hard to ensure each child is able to leave the office smiling and feeling proud, whether they completed a challenging procedure or maintained a no-cavity streak.

Watching the progress of children gaining confidence in the dental chair, and educating patients and parents about oral health, are two aspects of his work that Dr. Dela Rosa especially values. Every little surprising milestone a parent observes with their child is a huge win for his day!

Dr. Dela Rosa believes having a healthy smile is one of the most underrated features of a healthy person, while also one that many people struggle with throughout their lives. This belief led to his decision to become a pediatric dentist.

Pediatric dentistry, like all areas of healthcare, is constantly evolving. Throughout the year, Dr. Dela Rosa completes many courses, live and online, in order to stay current on the latest in guidelines, technology, and techniques.

Additionally, Dr. Dela Rosa is a volunteer group leader with KIDS International Dental Services. Through the organization, he helps lead teams of dentists and dental students to provide oral healthcare to underserved populations around the world.

Volunteering keeps him grounded as a provider, and he is appreciative of being able to offer emergency treatment to children in other countries, children who would not otherwise receive care. These experiences allow Dr. Dela Rosa to connect with patients on the purest of levels, outside of a private office, without the confines of insurances and schedules influencing a the childs essential dental care.

After growing up in West Windsor, New Jersey, Dr. Dela Rosa now resides with his family in Mount Laurel. His free time is spent with his wife, Shirley, and their three children, Manolo, Sammy, and Jaclyn. They enjoy biking, bbqing, and heading to the shore as often as their busy lives allow.

Dr. Alexandra Malebranche loves helping families along theirhealth journey. She takes great pride in the care and education she offers patients and parents helping them develop healthy habits for life. In caring for her patients, Dr. Malebranche focuses on the long-term needs of each child, working toward developing their confidence and comfort in the healthcare setting.

A passionate advocate for children, Dr. Malebranche believes it is important that each child finds their voice and feels in control in the healthcare setting. Dental and medical offices can be a scary place for kids, so she works hard to help her patients understand what is happening, and why. By bringing dentistry to children in a way they can enjoy and understand, she helps each child feel empowered and at ease in the dental office.

As a pediatric dentist, Dr. Malebranche treasures the opportunity to get to know patients and their parents and sometimes the patients cousins and their aunts and uncles. Family is important to her, so getting to know her patient's families is a highlight of her career!

Through these organizations, she has access to the latest research and newest developments in technology, treatment methodologies, and materials. An avid learner, Dr. Malebranche strives to constantly evolve and improve as a practicing pediatric dentist. Continuing education makes it possible for her to learn and connect with other practicing dentists, seeing how her peers are using the latest information to improve patient care. Her ongoing education, and the connections she has made, allows her to constantly strengthen and improve the care she provides.

Dr. Malebranche grew up in sunny San Jose, California. She has livesin Philadelphia with her husband, Nate. They have 1 child. If she's not in the office, she loves to train for races. She's also a Peloton enthusiast. Her other hobbies include calligraphy and scrapbooking.

Giving back and helping others is important to Dr. Malebranche. She and her husband volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence. Nate serves on the BBBS governing board. The couple believes it is important to open avenues for children to realize their full potential. They also volunteer together with Kids International Dental Services - providing dental care to children in need. Dr. Alex has traveled to Honduras, Guatemala, the Philippines, and Cambodia providing dental care to underserved children.

Dr. Stephanie Calora is passionate about helping others. Her profession allows her to help each young patient by establishing positive feelings about the dentistry and excitement at caring for their growing smile.

As a pediatric dentist, Dr. Calora has a unique opportunity to guide each childs development, fostering long-term practices and good dental hygiene. Always attentively listening to and engaging with her patients and parents in a non-threatening and encouraging manner, Dr. Calora fosters trust and comfort in the dental environment.

Providing her patients with fun and memorable visits is important to Dr. Calora. As a child, she looked forward going to see her pediatric dentist, who ensured positive experiences and greatly influenced her decision to go into the specialty.

As a dental student and resident, Dr. Calora was able to conduct important clinical research in pediatric populations. Now as a clinician, Dr. Calora is continually enhancing her training and learning.

Research, from the development of new dental techniques and materials to improved behavioral and oral health management, constantly betters the ability to effectively treat patients. Dr. Calora actively pursues continuing educational programs to learn about and implement state-of-the-science technologies into patient care.

An active member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Dental Association, Dr. Calora has access to numerous avenues to learn. Her top priority is to provide the best care possible, and continuing education ensures she is delivering the ideal clinical dentistry and best dental experiences to young patients.

Originally from Edison, New Jersey, Dr. Calora and her fianc currently reside in Philadelphia. Outside the office, she and her partner enjoy exercising, volunteering, traveling, and exploring the historical, artistic, and culinary wonders of Philadelphia. They are also sports fanatics and attempt to attend as many games as possible, especially at their alma mater, UConn.

Dr. Calora is passionate about spending time with family and friends, trying different cuisines, and traveling. She is always on the lookout for a challenging adventure and always excited to explore something new!

Let me start off by saying everyone there is phenomenal. My eight year old and two year old go here and I have no complaints at all. The entire staff was extremely kind from the moment you walk in the door until you leave. The wait is usually very quick. I love how the dental hygienist and the doctor explained everything before doing any type of procedure. It gave my older son and myself a better understanding of what was going on and calmed his nerves. They take the time to answer any questions and just overall make the visit go by very smoothly. I can't say enough about how great they are. I'm glad I was referred to them.

My 10 year old daughter is a very nervous/anxious child when it comes to anything medical, especially the dentist. We went here after a friend recommended it and we both loved it. The whole staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and Dr. Dela Rosa was fantastic with her. Made her feel comfortable and explained things to her perfectly. She gave him a 10 out of 10 rating when we left, and she's pretty picky so that's saying something!

Wonderful dentist for my 2.5 year old! We had such a great experience this past week, my son rocked it! The facility is clean and doing all the right stuff in this weird covid time. Dr. D is warm and sweet and our hygienist Melody was the same! Overall 5 stars!

Dr Champion and all her dental hygienist are amazing. Everyone at Pediatric Dental Associates are accommodating and patient when we go for our visits. They explain everything in a very calming manor before doing any type of procedure. They create an atmosphere that makes going to the dentist an enjoyable visit. After our visit today, my daughter asked when our next visit will be because she wants to go back. I also really like they try to keep the same hygienist for your child for each visit or if that person did not mesh well then Dr Champion picked another individual that would be a better match. I can't say enough how wonderful everyone is!

I took my kids to Dr Champions office for the first time on Thursday. They are amazing! My oldest couldn't stop talking about the flavors of toothpaste. It was my daughters first time and they were so patient and kind to her. We had Mel as our hygienist and I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of my kids. Thank you to everyone at this office, we'll see you in 6 months!! :)

I highly recommend Dr. Dela Rosa. With each visit he made me felt calm and reassured me with informations and steps that he will take to give my two children the best optimum care that they needed. I feel very confident in his expertise and it is not just his knowledge on oral health and teeth but his mindfulness and compassion towards my two children sets him apart. He really made them felt comfortable and treated them as respectful as possible. One day my son had a tooth infection and his face was swollen and Dr. D went above and beyond to fit my son in and saw him right away. To me that is dedication.

My kids have been going to Dr. Dela Rosa for about 4 years. He is just the sweetest, caring dentist a person/child could ask for! My daughter was just there today to have 2 of her stubborn baby teeth pulled out! Super nervous! He put her instantly at ease........10 minutes later she was skipping out! I highly recommend this practice. Staff is super easy and nice to deal with

We had two dental check ups during covid and have been pleased with the precautions taken each visit. Our first visit was when things first opened up and our second between thanksgiving and Christmas. I was hesitant given the timing and rising cases but we went because our kids have soft enamel and we need to keep tabs on their teeth. You call before going in. They took temp checks and sanitizer were done before entering the building. Social distancing for a very short lobby wait, and then each kid was in their own room for cleanings. Everyone wore masks and face shields. We felt comfortable the whole time. You exit through a separate exit than entry. We love the folks at the dentist office and are grateful for the attention taken to keep everyone safe during the pandemic.
