As a patient, its important to realize that there are different approaches to dentistry. One can either view the mouth as a collection of individual teeth, or as an 'organ' to be treated and cared for, as a whole.
Dr. Poonam B. Wadhwani practices the latter. She understands that an integrated approach significantly improves the long-term health of your mouth. She emphasizes that one should not view dental wellness as disconnected from total body wellness.
In order to best support her patients, Dr. Wadhwani actively stays current on the most recent developments in dentistry. She is a graduate of the Kois Center; a top teaching institute in Seattle that attracts dentists from all over the world. The Kois Center provides dentists with predictable, evidence-based dental systems that enable them to deliver the highest level of patient care.
Dr. Wadhwani believes that good dentistry doesn't have to be impersonal. She provides professional service in an environment that is warm and inviting. At Serene Dental, visits focus on prevention and risk management to maintain health.
Keegan is the super hero of our office. He runs the business end of Serene Dental. He is the kind, calming voice you hear most often when you call. In his spare time, when he is not wearing his cape to keep us running smoothly, you may find him on his bike on a rugged trail or mesmerized by his albino python. Keegan is a people person and loves getting too know you. He strives to make everyone he meets smile, because a SMILE can change your entire day.
Denise is a certified Dental Assistant who graduated from Everest College in 2013. She has been working in the dental field since she graduated from high school and has lots of experience with patient care. She worked with Dr. Wadhwani in the past and is very excited to be back! She is very passionate about her work as a dental assistant, always happy, always smiling and proud to be working with an AMAZING team! In her free time, she loves spending time with her 4 children, working out to stay fit and healthy, biking or exploring something new every weekend. Denise is in the process of moving forward in dental field as a dental hygienist. We hope to see her grow with us in years to come.
Jaqueline has been training under the careful guidance of Dr. Wadhwani as a dental assistant. She plans to develop a career in dentistry as a dental hygienist. She enjoys interacting with people and often times you may see her helping Keegan at the front desk or hear her kind voice on the phone.

We came after having a horrific experience pre-pandemic and not being seen for almost 2 years. The front office is super nice and the way they speak to you, you'll feel like you've known them forever. Dr. Wadhwani takes very great care of every patient and is very considerate and thorough. She checks it all! My preteen, toddler, and myself all had pleasant experiences with her! If you're look for a new dentist this is a great office, you won't be disappointed!

Dr. Wadhwani exceeded all my expectations. Hands down the best dental experience I've had. She was very thorough and explained everything with lots of detail. Listened to my concerns and addressed everything. Staff was very nice and professional as well. Will definitely come again.

A very big thank you to Dr. Wadhwani and her team! Always professional, polite and efficient, they added a warmth and caring that made me feel more like family than just the next patient. My experience in the Chair was just as impressive. The procedure was clearly explained, all my questions answered and every effort made to be sure I was comfortable and relaxed throughout. It all made me feel like it said on the door, "Serene."

Serene Dental became a family favorite after actually going to different dentist while needing to make a dentist change. My kids in I fell in love immediately with Dr. Wadhwani's calm, persoanable, patient, and educational nature. We loved how she took her time and willingly to explained and addresses our questions and concerns as apprehensive dental clients then and that has continued after we became her clients. After becoming clients, we have always happy with the time spent and the job done when we leave our appointment. She and her ALL her staff are kind, caring and thorough. I must say Keagan is great at the front desk. Everyone one is attentive and I have been especially impressed on the precautions that were put in place during the Covid-19 pandemic. After several years of my kids and I being her clients my husband joined us and spoke of the same attributes and customer satisfaction in his first experience as we did without us saying anything to him about our why's for choosing Serene. As I mentioned to Dr. a little while ago, they have lived up to the name Serene for us. **I mean we're else can you get a blanket for comfort and warm during your dental appointment .

I've been with Dr. Wadhwani for about 17 years, following her from the practice she'd been in before starting her own business. My husband and daughter go to her too, and she's a wonderful dentist, very knowledgeable and personable. The office is very clean and the other staff is great too. Highly recommended.

When I realized that the toothache I got early last week wasn't going away, the first dentist I thought to call was Serene. They had expertly taken care of my 6 year old grandson recently, but I had never been a patient there myself. I spoke with Keegan who remembered my grandson and I, and initially was able to offer me an appointment for the following week with the understanding that if I could get in sooner elsewhere I would cancel with him. A few hours after we spoke he called back and offered me a spot for the next morning. I am now taking antibiotics and am pain free and I couldn't be more relieved and grateful. Dr. Wadhwani was great and made sure I understood my situation and what my options were. It's also really convenient that the office is located footsteps away from a CVS where I was able to get my prescriptions filled quickly. I've been anxious about going to the dentist since I was a kid, and while I'm still not thrilled about going, I'm happy to have found Serene Dental.

Best dentist I've been to; very thorough. I've never had a dentist take pictures before to check alignment. Explains things well without making you feel stupid. They try to get you in as soon as possible if something is urgent and will actually follow through in calling you back to let you know if an appointment has opened up. I like the staff very much and they're easy to talk to. They also do follow-up calls to see how you're doing after your procedure which is pretty rare and nice.

Serene Dental is by far the best dental practice I have ever been too. They are so personable and friendly that they truly make you feel at home. The entire staff is so knowledgeable and are more than happy to explain any and everything you wish to understand. They take their time with each patient to ensure you feel comfortable and taken care of. They have also placed secure covid protocols within the office to maintain safety for all patients and staff. 10000% recommend this facility!! If there was a 6 Option then I would give it! Thanks Dr Wadhwani and the entire staff at Serene Dental!

I'm a newer patient of Dr. Wadhwani. I have seen her twice now for care and brought my son for his first cleaning. We have had great experiences thus far. Dr W is very comprehensive and goes above & beyond most dental exams/cleanings in my experience. She educates you along the way so you have a better understanding of what is happening and solutions for improvements. As a functional medicine physician, I appreciate this so much! The staff is friendly and they offer affordable care packages for self-pay patients. I highly recommend Serene Dental.

Ever since I can remember, I have always had terrible experiences with my dentists until now. Dr. W is amazing! She is kind, knowledgeable and truly cares about her patients. Keegan and Denise are amazing as well, and go above and beyond to make your office visit as pleasant as possible. Dr. W has truly educated me on my health, and has managed to do so in a non condescending manner. The office is beautiful, so clean and easy to get to. I have Never felt more comfortable at any doctors appointments then I do here. I have Definitely found my forever home.

Great atmosphere and awesome care! The front office person, Keegan, is amazing and super nice. He will always find a way to schedule you in and will ALWAYS follow up with you about appointments. I have never seen such attention to detail like this before. Dr. Wadhwani is world class in her attention to detail, the patient, and having the latest tech to get you to a place where you're proud of your smile. Highly recommend :)
