About This Provider

Dr. Sara Rauen Dardis, DDS, MS, is a Board Certified pediatric dentist with more than 22 years of experience caring for children at Pediatric Smiles of Bloomington. She earned her Certificate and Master's degree in Pediatric Dentistry through a post-graduate residency at Columbus Children's Hospital and The Ohio State University, one of the country's most respected programs in pediatric dental training. She joined Pediatric Smiles of Bloomington in 2002 and holds staff privileges at both Advocate Bromenn Regional Medical Center and OSF St. Joseph Medical Center, extending her ability to provide dental care for children in hospital settings when clinical circumstances require it. Board certification through the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry distinguishes her from general dentists who see children as part of a broader caseload. Dr. Dardis holds that children are fundamentally different from adult patients and that each child deserves an approach built around their age, temperament, and comfort level. Her practice centers on turning every dental visit into a positive, educational experience that builds confidence in oral health from the very first appointment.
