Dr. Sama Makar

Hi there! I’m Dr. Sama, and I make little smiles shine bright! From toddlers to teens, I specialize in gentle, kid-friendly care that helps your child feel safe, comfortable, and even a little excited about their visit.

I earned my dental degree from the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC (Go Trojans!), where I learned all about treating tiny teeth, easing fears, and making dental visits something kids can actually look forward to.

I’m a big fan of giggles, stickers, and giving high-fives after a cavity-free checkup. When I’m not counting tiny teeth, you’ll find me traveling with my husband, cooking and testing new recipes , exploring new ice cream spots, or spending time with family and friends. 

Whether it’s your child’s first visit or their tenth, I’m here to make sure every appointment feels like a breeze—with lots of laughs along the way!
