- Welcome to Blooming Smiles
Dr. Deyanira Sanchez is a board certified pediatric dentist. Dr. Sanchez is a L.A. native who received accreditation for Doctor in Dental Surgery as well as a certificate in Pediatric Dentistry from the University of California, Los Angeles. She has pursued national and international training in dentistry. She received a B.A. in pathology as well as a Doctor in Dental Surgery degree from the University of Guadalajara in Mexico in 2000. During her last year of Mexican social service, she functioned as chief resident/pre-doctoral clinical instructor in prosthodontics.
Currently, she holds a part time clinical/ lecturer faculty position at UCLA where she teaches the predoctoral dental students. Dr. Sánchez is an active member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and is the President of the executive committee of the Southern California Society of Dentistry for Children.
Dr. Sanchez enjoys sharing home makeover projects with her husband and musical "jam sessions" with her 2 children. When she is not at the office you may find her lifting weights at the gym, practicing mixed martial arts or biking/hiking/trail running in the Santa Monica Mountains with her family and friends.
Dr. Deyanira Sánchez is a board-certified pediatric dentist at Blooming Smiles, treating children throughout Northridge, Woodland Hills, and the greater San Fernando Valley, and currently holds a part-time faculty position teaching pre-doctoral dental students at UCLA.
An L.A. native, Dr. Sánchez earned her Bachelor of Arts in Pathology and her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Guadalajara in Mexico in 2000. During her final year of dental training there, she served as chief resident and pre-doctoral clinical instructor in prosthodontics. She went on to complete a Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry residency at UCLA, training specifically in the behavioral and clinical techniques used to treat infants, children, and adolescents.
Dr. Sánchez is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry — the credentialing body that confirms board certification in the specialty — and an active member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. She currently serves as President of the Executive Committee of the Southern California Society of Dentistry for Children and holds a part-time clinical/lecturer faculty position at UCLA, where she teaches pre-doctoral dental students.
Dr. Sánchez's UCLA faculty role means her clinical technique stays directly connected to how the next generation of pediatric dentists is being trained — she teaches the same behavioral and clinical standards she applies with her own patients. Parents throughout the San Fernando Valley note her communicative, patient approach with first-time patients and children who are nervous about dental visits.
[CONFIRM: Dr. Sánchez's bilingual Spanish fluency appears in several third-party professional directories but is not currently stated on your own site. If accurate, this is worth adding explicitly — "bilingual Spanish-speaking pediatric dentist" is a real, frequently-searched term for Valley families, and should only go live once confirmed directly with her.]
