Practicing dentistry is one of the joys in Dr. Pesavento’s life. Long-term relationships with patients and staff, and helping patients to feel comfortable with the treatment and understand their treatment options is a central focus of the practice. Her office utilizes the latest technologies in digital radiography and digital imaging allowing one-appointment crowns that are created on-site.

Dr. Pesavento is a lifelong member of St. Peter Cathedral Church. She and her husband raised four children who are now adults. When she is not at the office, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, walking, gardening, and reading.
