Our Pediatric Dentists
Dr. Ozzie Jafarnia
Board Certified Pediatric Dentist, Founder
For nearly two decades, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children and supporting their health, confidence, and development. As the founder of Danville Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, I’ve built a practice rooted in clinical excellence, meaningful relationships, and the belief that every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for.
Over the years, I started noticing patterns in many of my young patients that went beyond their smiles. Mouth breathing, restless sleep, feeding and speech challenges, crowded teeth, and changes in facial growth were often connected in ways that weren’t always obvious at first. These experiences inspired me to look deeper into functional pediatric dentistry and the important connection between oral function, airway health, sleep, and craniofacial development.
My passion for catching these concerns early eventually led me to create Flourish Airway Collective, a dedicated center focused on comprehensive, airway-centered care for infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents. At Flourish, I look at the bigger picture of how the tongue, lips, jaws, palate, breathing patterns, and upper airway work together—and how these systems can influence a child’s ability to breathe, sleep, eat, speak, grow, and thrive.
I take a calm, compassionate, and collaborative approach to care. Depending on each child’s unique needs, this may include support for tethered oral tissues, early expansion and growth guidance, oral-function therapy, advanced airway imaging, and collaboration with trusted ENTs, sleep physicians, myofunctional therapists, speech and feeding specialists, and other healthcare providers.
At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: families deserve to feel heard, supported, and confident in their child’s care. I want parents to understand what may be contributing to their child’s concerns and leave feeling like they have a clear, thoughtful path forward.
My goal has always been bigger than creating healthy, beautiful smiles. I want to help children breathe a little easier, sleep a little more peacefully, grow to their fullest potential, and feel their very best along the way. That’s what makes this work so incredibly meaningful to me.
Dr. Edirin Sido
Board Certified Pediatric Dentist
I moved east to attend Harvard, where I earned both my undergraduate degree and my DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine). Then the best coast called me back home, Bay Area born and raised. I completed my pediatric dental residency at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital and Oregon Health & Science University.
I am so grateful for every moment I spend as a pediatric dentist, and I am continually inspired by my amazing patients and their families. I believe the foundation for a lifelong, positive relationship with dental care is built through a whole-person approach that focuses on prevention, education, and healthy habits for each unique child.
Outside the clinic, you’ll likely find me spending quality time with my sweet son, convincing my husband, family, and friends to try a new recipe I discovered, staying active (volleyball, anyone?), visiting extended family, and staying connected to my local community and church.
Dr. Jasnena Mavi
Board Certified Pediatric Dentist
I’m originally from Detroit, Michigan, and earned my Bachelor of Science degree from Michigan State University before moving to California to complete my DDS at USC. After practicing as a general dentist, I realized my heart truly belonged in pediatric dentistry and went on to complete my specialty training at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
My goal is to make each visit feel safe, encouraging, and even fun, while partnering closely with parents to build healthy habits that last a lifetime. I truly believe education and prevention are powerful tools, and I love empowering families with the knowledge and confidence they need to support their child’s oral health.
I also have a passion for travel and experiencing different cultures. During dental school, I was fortunate to combine that love of exploration with service by participating in outreach trips to Cambodia, Panama, Belize, and the Philippines, providing care to children with limited access to dental services.
Outside the office, I love spending time with my husband and our daughter. You can usually find me outdoors, staying active with Lagree and yoga, or simply enjoying quality time with family and friends.
Dr. Irene Ching
Board Certified Pediatric Dentist
After earning my undergraduate degree from Georgetown University, I returned home to San Francisco to pursue my dental degree at UCSF. I then completed my pediatric specialty training at USC and Long Beach Memorial/Miller Children’s Hospital. I feel incredibly blessed to now care for children and families here in the Bay Area.
As a pediatric dentist, my goal is to create a fun, compassionate environment where every child feels comfortable and excited to visit us. I’m passionate about giving kids the tools and education they need to maintain healthy habits and happy smiles for years to come.
Outside the office, I love spending time with family and friends, exploring local trails with my maltipoo Mochi, staying active with golf and pilates, and cheering on my favorite team (go Niners!). I’m so excited to meet your family and see your child’s smile grow!
Our General Dentist
Dr. Maurissa
Kiefer
Dentist
I am a California native from the Central Valley. I attended the University of the Pacific for both my undergraduate and DDS graduate programs. I strive to help my patients feel comfortable and confident in the quality of their dental care.
It is rewarding to help shape a child’s dental experience and make it positive and enjoyable. I believe the key to improving oral health starts with education to help prevent and reduce the need for treatment. I look forward to caring for your children and teens.
Outside of the office, you can find me spending time with my husband and our two daughters. One of my biggest passions is traveling the world and experiencing different countries and cultures. In the summers, I enjoy soaking up the sun while water skiing and wake surfing, and in the winter, you will usually find me on the ski slopes..
Our Practice Administrator
Sylvie
Practice Administrator
I’m so proud to have been part of this amazing practice for over a decade, working alongside a team and families I truly love.
Born and raised in New Brunswick, Canada (and yes, I’m fluent in French and love poutine!), I made my way to sunny California in 2004 and quickly knew this was where I wanted to stay.
I started my dental career as a Certified Dental Assistant and continued growing into my roles as an RDA and Dental Assistant Instructor before earning my Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration with a concentration in Management.
When I’m not at the office, you’ll find me soaking up time with my family, planning my next trip (Hawaii has my heart!), and always ready for a little adventure — whether that’s trying something new or taking my Harley-Davidson out for a ride.
