Meet Dr. Olga Dolghier
Every great smile begins with a caring guide. Dr. Olga Dolghier, board-certified pediatric dentist in Scottsdale, is known for turning dental visits into happy milestones. Parents call her the dentist who “listens first,” and kids simply call her Dr. O, their friend who makes teeth fun.
With advanced training in pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and airway-centred care, Dr. Olga believes oral health is much more than clean teeth. It’s about healthy breathing, confident growth, and lifelong wellness.
From Curiosity to Dental Care
A Family Dentist Who Treats Every Child Like Her Own
Parents immediately feel the difference. Dr. Olga takes time to greet each child, learn their favorite colors and games, and answer every question, whether it’s from a nervous toddler or a curious parent.
“I want children to grow up unafraid of the dentist. When they feel safe and involved, they develop habits that last a lifetime,” she explains.
This relationship-first approach helps families relax and creates trust that lasts through every stage of childhood.
Expertise that Goes Beyond the Toothbrush
Airway-Focused Dentistry
She screens for mouth breathing, snoring, or sleep-disordered breathing. Early guidance can improve sleep, behavior, and even school performance.
Tongue-Tie & Lip-Tie Specialist
Dr. Olga treats oral restrictions that affect nursing, speech, and jaw growth using gentle laser frenectomy. Her precise, comfortable approach means faster healing and happier feedings.
Orthodontics & Growth Guidance
She monitors jaw development from the earliest visits, often preventing complex orthodontic issues later. When braces or aligners are needed, the process is smooth and kid-friendly.
Preventive & Restorative Pediatric Dentistry
Every service supports natural growth and lasting oral health, from fluoride treatments and sealants to white fillings.
Always Learning, Always Growing
Dr. Olga’s curiosity didn’t stop with her degrees. She continues to study the latest research in pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and airway health, constantly exploring new tools and techniques to improve care. From using advanced laser technology to incorporating emerging practices in growth guidance, she’s committed to bringing families the safest care available.
Her patients benefit from a dentist who does not just practice but actively learns, tests, and refines her approach every year.
Ask the Dentist: Her Mission to Educate
