Get to know
Dr. Ekta Sem
Dr. Sem's dedication to holistic health was shaped by a profound loss—her grandmother's passing due to complications from an untreated dental abscess. This experience revealed the critical connection between oral health and overall wellness, igniting her mission to eliminate the barriers that keep people from essential care.
She believes oral wellness impacts every aspect of life—physical health, confidence, and social connections. Yet dental anxiety prevents so many from receiving the care they deserve. Dr. Sem created Rituals to transform this reality, elevating oral care to the same intentional status as other self-care rituals while removing the fear that keeps people away.
Born in Pottstown and raised around the world through her mother's Air Force service, Dr. Sem’s global experiences fostered deep cultural appreciation and compassion. She earned her BA in Political Science from Pepperdine University, completed a pre-medical post-baccalaureate at Harvard University, and went on to earn a Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences and Organizational Leadership & Development from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Her path ultimately led her to Temple Dental School, where she pursued her passion for dentistry and whole-person care.
Now settled in Blue Bell with her husband and two children, Dr. Sem serves as a board member of the Montgomery Bucks Dental Society while bringing her patient-centered philosophy to the community. Her passions for interior design and Pilates reflect the same values that guide her practice—creativity, balance, and holistic well-being.

Our Promise to You
Dr. Sem's Care Philosophy
Your Journey, Your Pace
Your comfort with treatment matters more than our timeline. We never push procedures—instead, we educate and collaborate, letting you guide your care journey at your own pace.
Treating You Like Family

Embracing Your Comfort
We understand dental fear is real. Through patience, transparency, and genuine warmth, we transform anxiety into anticipation for your wellness ritual.

Knowledge empowers better choices. We take time to explain what we see, what it means, and what options exist—no rush, no pressure, just clarity.
Honoring Your Whole Self
Your mouth connects to your entire being. We consider how oral health impacts your physical, emotional, and social wellness in everything we do.
