Orthodontic Excellence in Tarrytown
We are Dr. Rishi Kothari and Dr. Reshma Kumar, and our professional lives are dedicated to helping families understand, protect, and grow healthy smiles. Our clinical philosophy is deeply rooted in a family legacy, as Dr. Kothari gained a firsthand appreciation for orthodontics by watching his mother practice for over 30 years. We bring a unique, family-centered perspective to care by integrating orthodontic specialty certification with board-certified pediatric dentistry. Dr. Kothari completed a highly competitive orthodontic residency at Jacksonville University and serves the profession by teaching orthodontic residents at NYU Langone Medical Center. Dr. Kumar built her career around making dental visits genuinely enjoyable for children, completing her pediatric specialty training at SBH Health System, where she served as chief resident. Our commitment to the highest professional standards is demonstrated by our diplomate status with both the American Board of Orthodontics and the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.We actively contribute to the advancement of our field through teaching and maintaining memberships with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the New York Dental Association. We believe in removing barriers to care, which is why Dr. Kothari connects with patients across a wide range of cultural backgrounds by speaking English, Spanish, and Gujarati. Our passion extends beyond the clinic through dedicated volunteer work with underserved children in our community. We strive to provide practical guidance that gives parents, kids, teens, and adults more clarity and confidence in their smile care journey. Our ultimate goal is to help young patients build healthy habits and establish a strong foundation for lifelong oral health.

Services
Early orthodontic treatment
Our early orthodontic treatment, also known as Phase-1 orthodontics, is designed specifically for children to address developing bite issues proactively. By intervening before these issues grow into more complex problems, we guide proper jaw development and create space for permanent teeth. This thoughtful approach helps reduce the need for more invasive treatments later, setting a strong foundation for a healthy, well-aligned smile.
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentistry services focus on making dental visits genuinely enjoyable while building the healthy habits essential for lifelong oral health. Under the care of a board-certified pediatric dentist who served as a chief resident, we provide specialized preventive and restorative care tailored to young patients. We guide children and parents alike with practical advice on everything from cavity prevention to nutrition for growing teeth and gums.
