Plaster & Pearl
12Years of gentle care
A neighborhood practice
We built Plaster & Pearl Dental to be the dentist we wished we had as patients: small, gentle, and honest about what will and will not help. The dentist who greets you is the one in the room, and the hygienist who knows your kids' names is the one you see next time.
Warm plaster walls, tall windows, and a rhythm slow enough to actually know people. Since we opened, one habit has stayed above the rest: be gentle, be honest, and never work on commission.
Genuinely gentle
Slow numbing, a stop signal we honor, and calming options for any visit. Comfort is a method here, not a slogan on the wall.
Plain language
You see your own x-rays on the screen and hear the options in words that make sense, so you always know what is urgent and what it costs.
One practice for all
Toddlers, teenagers, parents, and grandparents, all seen by the same familiar team in the same calm, plaster-walled rooms.
How we grew, one gentle step at a time
Two chairs on Faircourt Mews
Dr. Nora Marchetti opened Plaster & Pearl Dental with a single hygienist and one stubborn idea: run the practice slow enough to actually know people.
The membership plan began
So many neighbors had lost dental coverage that we built our own in-house plan, priced flat and honest, with no insurance company in the middle.
A family wing
We added two rooms and a second dentist so kids, parents, and grandparents could all be seen under one roof on the same afternoon.
Three thousand neighbors
We crossed three thousand active patients while keeping the same small team and the same unhurried way of working.
The faces you will see every visit
Dr. Nora Marchetti
Nora opened Plaster & Pearl Dental after a decade in busier offices, on the belief that a dental visit should feel like being looked after. She chose the tall south windows before she chose the equipment.
Dr. Marcus Bell
Marcus handles much of our restorative and same-day crown work, and is the calm voice anxious patients quietly ask for by name. Unhurried by temperament, precise by training.
Rosa Delgado
Rosa runs the gentlest cleanings in town and remembers every patient's story, their kids, and which tooth was sensitive last time. Fifteen years of patient hands.
Theo Nakamura
Theo has a near-magical way with nervous seven-year-olds and grown-ups alike. Ask him about his weekend trail runs at your own risk.
Priya Sundaram
Priya untangles insurance and membership math so you never have to, and is the friendly voice that answers when you call.
Jordan Ellis
Jordan keeps every room calm and every appointment on time, and gets patients through a long visit with a steady stream of terrible jokes.

Kind words
“I dreaded even scheduling for years. My first visit here was just a conversation, no instruments in sight, and I booked the next one before I even left.”
Wendell Ortiz, patient
“Cracked a crown between school pickups on a Thursday and they fit me in that same afternoon, fixed before dinner. Nobody tried to sell me a single extra thing.”
Dana Whitcomb, patient
“The membership plan made cleanings possible again after I lost my insurance through work. They walked me through the math on my first visit, and it has paid for itself twice over.”
