I have the opportunity to watch children grow up in the practice, fromthe time their first tooth erupts to the time they graduate high school. It is an honor to be part of each childs life, sharing in their adventures and dreams: I love that I spend my days with such amazing people and get to help them develop healthy, confident smiles!
Dr. Carrasco has practiced dentistry since 2008. She was a general dentist in the U.S. Air Force until 2013, when she decided to pursue her specialty training in pediatric dentistry. She is passionate about establishing positive dental experiences early in a childs life, through gentle, compassionate, team-approached care.
Throughout the year, Dr. Carrasco participates in seminars, attends meetings and lectures, and stays up-to-date with the latest research. This commitment to constantly furthering her knowledge ensures she is providing the latest, proven treatment to her patients.
After growing up in Oxnard, California, and being stationed overseas while in the Air Force, Dr. Carrasco now resides in Richardson with her family. She and her husband, Ernie, have two children, Ernie Jr. and Noah. Herfamily also includes their two Maltese dogs, Coconut and Tiger, and their German Shepherd, Rex.
Most of Dr. Carrascos days start with working out at the gym. Otherwise, she can be found watching movies, cooking, reading, and attending sporting events. Above all, she values time with her family, whether theyre relaxing at home or traveling together.
From our front office through our dental assistants, doctor, and manager, each person is dedicated to providing the most supportive and welcoming atmosphere. We treat each child gently and compassionately, respecting the individuals needs and always placing their wellbeing as the top priority.
Welcome to Smile Island Dental! Im Jennifer and I handle many of the practice management duties, leading and mentoring our team members. I work hard to make sure we are organized and ready to provide your child, and you, with the best dental experience. We provide quality care to ensure healthy smiles!
Both of my boys play basketball and their dad is coach of their team. We spend a lot of time at practice and games! I love to cook a whole, hearty family breakfast on weekends and enjoy family trips, too.
Welcome to Smile Island Dental! Im Sheila, a Dental Assistant, and I work in our clinic assisting the doctor with patient care. I love sharing time with kids and hearing all their stories. I want our patients to enjoy their visits and to leave with a clean and happy smile!
I was born in Mexico and raised in Dallas. My husband Steven and I have two beautiful little girls, Samantha and Sabrina. We recently got a new family member: a super energetic puppy named Roxy. Anytime I am not at work I am with my family. We enjoy going to parks, outdoor activities, and traveling.
We know early dental experiences have a lasting effect on a persons feelings about oral healthcare. The more positive experiences they have, the more comfortable they are in the dental environment, and the more motivated they are to keep their smile clean and healthy.

I love this dental office, Dr Kathrina and staff are the best! They are so nice, fast, and efficient. Dr. Carrasco caught something with sons tooth the very first visit. We had been going somewhere else for a few years, and they didn't notice it. It's worth the 30 minute drive. My kids feel relaxed with the fun wall colors and say they love going here. They also love the prizes and games in the lobby.

I couldn't have asked for a better place than this one. I've always had trouble finding a good Dentist for my daughter and we finally found THE ONE. My daughter's experience was the best thanks to VickyShe made her feel welcome and safe. Mind you my daughter hates the dentist! This experience was very smooth and easy, I would highly recommend Vicky, she is really good with kids. Cant wait to take my daughter back for her next f/u. Thank you again and see you soon!! I greatly appreciate all the help!!

This review is based on my personal experience on my visit today at Dr Kathrina's care . This was by far the most unpleasant experience i've ever had . The dentist was rude and aggressive the way she spoke with me which is my first experience ever as all of my prior pediatric dentist have been exceptionally calm and composed . If you are a worried parent looking to get answers to the questions , this is not the right place that's how I felt. For me, this dentist wasn't the right fit as a "pediatric" dentist . My only question was to make the tooth extraction procedure less painful for my daughter and the dentist emphasized I was putting "pressure" on her . I understand all kids cry and have varied tolerance to procedures and we can't guarantee how they would react to a certain procedure that but as a parent , it's always helpful to get the assurance kid is in the right care and doctors will do their best. I missed seeing that here for sure. I am certainly not coming back here .My daughter has had many dental treatments before with other pediatric dentists and I would always appreciate their professionalism and Empathy. This is my first ever negative review and I am compelled to write one after the visit today.

Very professional staff that pivots well and does what they can to go above and beyond. Dr. Carrasco is very conscientious regarding my child's specific needs. Dental office really geared toward creating a fun experience for kids.
