🦷 A Dozen Years of Smiles! 🥳
Today marks a really special day for me—it's my 12th anniversary serving this incredible community as the dentist at New Brighton Family Dentistry!

Thank you, New Brighton, for trusting me with your oral health for all these years. Your support, loyalty, and wonderful smiles are the reasons I love coming to work every single day.

🦷Meet Petra – Dental Hygienist Extraordinaire🦷

Petra has been brightening smiles since 2000, bringing precision, warmth, and a touch of adventure to every appointment. Before dentistry, she led a thrilling life as a professional bull rider, until an unexpected turn of events steered her toward the world of oral health. Today, she’s just as fearless in the dental chair as she was in the arena.

Outside the clinic, Petra is a proud mom to three adult sons (one of whom is a twin) and enjoys escaping to her beloved lake home up north, a family treasure with a legendary origin story involving a high-stakes poker game. She’s known for her quick wit, boundless energy, and surprising fluency in German, courtesy of one of her six vibrant personalities.

Petra’s unique journey and spirited personality make her a favorite among patients and colleagues alike. She’s proof that a great hygienist doesn’t just clean teeth, she makes people smile.

🦷 Exciting news from New Brighton Family Dentistry! 🦷

We're thrilled to welcome Dr. Tara Vattadi to our team! Get to know our newest addition!

Hi! My name is Dr. Tara Vattadi! I am a new transplant to the Twin Cities! I grew up in a small beach town in California called Santa Cruz where I was spoiled by year-round sunshine. Through my own dental and orthodontic treatments, I decided early on that dentistry would be the right fit for me to combine my interest in science, passion for working with people, and using my hands to make art.

This made the decision to move to Michigan to pursue a combined B.A. in Chemistry and D.D.S degree an easy one. After completing dental school, I decided to further my dental training by completing a General Practice Residency in Chicago, IL. I practiced for 5 years in California before deciding to head back to the Midwest and join my fiance in Minnesota. To say I am excited to be joining New Brighton Family Dentistry is an understatement!

Outside of building patient relationships and talking about dentistry to anyone that will listen, my hobbies include cooking, reading, anything fitness related, and attempting to sew (much harder than I thought!!). I love spending time with family and friends, and traveling whenever possible. I am also an avid “foodie”, so I am always looking for restaurant recommendations!

Book your appointment today and come meet the newest member of the New Brighton Family Dentistry team! 💙
