Committed to Excellence
Meet Dr. Shah
Dr. Erin Shah, a board-certified pediatric dentist, grew up in the Midwest and Chicago before planting roots in San Francisco in 2011. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco. She earned a Master’s in Oral Sciences, completing her pediatric dentistry residency at the University of Illinois in Chicago. She has extensive experience working with children with autism, complex medical conditions, and severe dental needs. She is thrilled to return to the bay area to start her practice!
What Makes Us Different?
We know teeth. You know your child. Kid-approved amenities, a collaborative approach, an inviting space, community outreach, and our innovative in-house plan are just a few reasons parents choose Mission Bay Pediatric Dentistry.
Watch our welcome video to learn more!
Watch your kid pretend, play, and giggle. Our office is curated with TVs, a sunglass station with silly eyewear, a kid’s play area, customized goodie bags, toys, stickers, and fun giveaways for kids of all ages.
You’re a parent, your say matters. Collaboration is at the core of what we do at Mission Bay Pediatric Dentistry. Whatever your child’s needs are, trust that we will listen to your instincts and input.
Sit back and relax in our parent’s lounge while we care for your little one. Feel free to send emails at our laptop station (or scroll Pinterest, we get it!) with peace of mind. Your Littlest will feel welcomed in our soothing infant and toddler-geared rooms designed to feel like home. We offer private and comfortable spaces for nursing and diaper changes.
Reading gifts children intelligence and wonder. Children without regular access to books face disadvantages that are difficult to make up later in life. To promote the importance of reading, join us for Story Time with Dr. Erin where she reads every childhood favorite and cultivates a community of bookworms. Dr. Shah and Mission Bay Pediatric Dentistry also chose to partner with the Children's Book Project to advance childhood literacy
