Welcome to Odessa Sunrise Dental for Kids

Meet Dr. Brenda Manzanares: Odessa’s go-to dentist for kids!

Dr. Brenda Manzanares has had a passion for dentistry for as long as she can remember. Raised in Bluffton, South Carolina, she completed her bachelor’s degree in Biology in just three years before entering dental school at the young age of 20. By 24, she had earned her degree and was ready to begin her journey in pediatric care. Dr. Manzanares spent 2.5 years working in Texas, where she honed her skills treating children and used her bilingual Spanish fluency to connect with families. In 2024, she moved to Florida to be closer to her own family and made the decision to open a practice that reflects her personal values.

Dr. Manzanares is a family dentist who provides care within her scope and with a deep love for working with kids. Her mission is simple: to remove fear from dental visits and create a place where kids feel safe and parents feel informed. Her one-of-a-kind approach blends clinical excellence with gentle communication, humor, and trust.

At Odessa Sunrise Dental for Kids, we’re proud to have a team that shares a unified goal—to deliver compassionate, high-quality care for every child who walks through our doors. Leading our front office is Kendra Velarde, our dedicated Practice Director, who helps everything run smoothly and ensures every family feels welcomed from the first interaction.

Our office is thoughtfully designed to make children feel relaxed and entertained during their visit. From TVs mounted on the ceilings to a fun, interactive play area and photo backdrop in the waiting room, we’ve created a space that turns dental visits into positive memories. Every detail of our office is centered around comfort, education, and making visits as enjoyable as possible for both kids and parents.

Gentle, effective care designed just for kids

We offer a wide range of child-focused dental services with an emphasis on prevention and education. Whether your child is coming in for a regular cleaning and fluoride treatment, needs sealants to protect growing teeth, or requires a restorative treatment like a filling or pulpotomy, we’re here with an approach that’s calm, clear, and centered on trust. We also provide pediatric extractions and offer same-day emergency appointments to help in a pinch.

We don’t just treat teeth, we work to prevent future issues before they start. Our early visits for children three and under are all about setting the stage for lifelong oral health. If you're looking for a dental home that combines expert care with a kid-friendly environment, Odessa Sunrise Dental for Kids is the perfect place.
