✨ Meet the Team: Lakisha-Director of Operations ✨

Big energy. Big vision. Even bigger leadership vibes. Meet Lakisha—the brains, heart, and systems queen behind the scenes at Central Dentist 👑

☕ Coffee or tea?
Coffee… not because she needs it, but because leaders bring the energy. 💥 Her real fuel? Vision, clarity, and purpose. Coffee is just the daily ritual that sets the tone.

🥗 Lunch on a busy clinic day?
Lakisha thinks in “high-performance mode.” Long days need steady energy and a clear head. She’ll admit—sometimes lunch gets skipped and chips or nuts step in. 😅 But she knows you can’t lead on empty, so 2026 is all about healthier, intentional lunches and fueling like a pro.

💼 If not dentistry, dream job?
Still leading. Always leading. She’d be a business strategist or COO, building teams, scaling systems, shaping culture, and turning big ideas into real results. Dentistry just happens to be an amazing place to do that—while changing lives every single day.

😄 What makes her smile (besides great teeth)?
Watching a team click. When everyone’s aligned, communicating, and moving with purpose—it’s magic. That’s when culture, leadership, and performance all hit at once.

⭐ Favorite Central Dentist Core Value:
Results-Oriented Ownership.
Translation? Think like an owner. Act like a leader. Take responsibility for outcomes—not just tasks. When ownership shows up, results follow, trust grows, and the entire practice levels up. 🚀

🤓 Fun fact you probably didn’t know:
Lakisha relaxes by analyzing workflows and reorganizing systems… for fun. Yes, really. 😄 Some people watch TV—she optimizes processes. Growth lights her up.

We’re so grateful for Lakisha’s passion, leadership, and next-level energy. Central Dentist wouldn’t be the same without her 💙

Why Early Intervention Matters 🌱
Kids only grow once—and early guidance can make a lifelong difference.
When we support healthy tongue posture and airway balance during childhood, we help guide natural growth instead of needing more invasive treatments later.

How the Super Health Program Helps
The Super Health Program looks at the why behind tongue thrust and mouth breathing—not just the habit itself.

Led by Dr Jill Rosellini Ombrello, our Super Health approach may include:

Checking airway size and breathing patterns
Looking at jaw and facial development
Evaluating tongue posture, swallowing, and oral habits
Encouraging nasal breathing and proper tongue position
Using growth-guiding dental appliances when appropriate
Collaborating with myofunctional therapists, ENTs, and other like-minded providers
Rather than retraining muscles alone, Super Health focuses on creating enough space for the tongue and airway to work the way they’re meant to—naturally.

The Super Health Goal 💙
It’s not just about straighter teeth. It’s about building a healthy foundation.

By supporting airway development, nasal breathing, and proper tongue posture, Super Health helps children:

Breathe and sleep better
Grow with improved facial balance
Achieve more stable orthodontic results
Build healthier habits for life

When to Ask About a Super Health Evaluation
If your child has tongue thrust, mouth breathing, speech concerns, or bite issues, these may be signs worth exploring.

👉 Ask our team about a Super Health evaluation today.
Healthy breathing. Healthy growth. Healthier kids.

Custom fit = more comfortable and effective than over-the-counter devices.
Typically recommended for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy.

Is your child breathing through their mouth… snoring… waking tired… or struggling with focus and behavior? 😴👦👧
These may not be “just phases.”
Sleep-disordered breathing in children can quietly impact:
• learning and school performance
• behavior and emotional regulation
• growth and immune health
• heart health and hormone balance
At Central Dentist, we look beyond teeth. We evaluate airway, jaw development, tongue posture, and breathing patterns—early, while growth can still be guided.

The good news?
When identified early, we can support healthier development and better sleep—often without invasive treatments.

✨ If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this normal?”—that’s your sign to have your child evaluated.

📞 Call or text 214.368.0900
📧 Email jro@centraldentist.com
👩‍⚕️ Care led by Dr. Jill Rosellini Ombrello

Because how your child breathes today matters for their health tomorrow.

🦷✨ Holistic Healing After Extractions ✨🦷

At our practice, Dr. Sawnani takes extraction healing to the next level by using PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)—a powerful, 100% natural therapy created from your own blood.

💉 Why PRF matters after extractions:
✔️ Accelerates natural healing
✔️ Reduces inflammation & post-op discomfort
✔️ Supports bone and tissue regeneration
✔️ Lowers risk of dry socket
✔️ Enhances immune response—no additives, no chemicals

PRF is rich in growth factors that your body already uses to heal. By placing PRF directly into the extraction site, we support whole-body wellness, not just the tooth.

🌱 This is holistic dentistry in action—working with your biology, not against it.

If you’re having a tooth removed and want the most supportive, biologically sound healing option, ask us about PRF.

02/20/2026

People ask what the difference is between biological, holistic and traditional dentistry...as a dentist with advanced training in both biological and holistic dentistry, I thought it was time to clearly explain. Grateful Central Dentist associates Dr Sawnani and Dr Alejandrez are also committed to this extra training and education.
