Our philosophy

A trusted dental home for every chapter of your smile.

The Pampered Tooth was built around a simple idea: excellent care starts with understanding the person in the chair. We listen to concerns, explain findings, set realistic expectations, and build treatment plans together.

Our Port Orange office welcomes adults and children beginning at age nine, including patients with special needs. Spanish-language assistance may be available; please share your preference when scheduling.

Larissa W. Hanson, DMD

A local story rooted in science, teaching, and service.

Born in Winter Park and raised in the Daytona Beach area, Dr. Hanson earned a bachelor’s degree in Food Science and Human Nutrition from the University of Florida before graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 2014.

In 2025, she completed the Comprehensive Interdisciplinary Dental Implant Continuum through the University of Florida and Implant Educators Academy. She is pursuing Fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists; this site intentionally does not present candidacy as completed Fellowship.

Dr. Hanson’s calm, teaching-focused approach helps patients understand their health and feel involved in the decisions that shape their care.

Why patients feel pampered

Comfort is not a theme. It is how care is delivered.

Time to ask questions

We make room for a real conversation before decisions are made.

Clear explanations

Images and plain language help you understand what we see.

Nonjudgmental care

Your history is context—not a reason for shame.

Modern impressions

Digital scanning may replace traditional impression trays in many cases.

Controlled anesthesia

The Wand STA delivers local anesthetic at a computer-controlled rate.

Individual recommendations

Treatment plans reflect your health, goals, priorities, and budget.

Your next step

Peace of mind starts with a conversation.
