Welcome to “Abriani Smiles.” I have been practicing dentistry for over 30 years. As a dentist I love helping a patient achieve a healthy, sparkling smile…along with the comfort and confidence that comes with it.
As the dentist of this office, I want to share with you our practice goals:
We will treat every patient with dignity and respect. Dentistry is not always pleasant for the patient in the chair! We understand that, and will strive to make your visit as comfortable, relaxing and painless as possible. Honesty and integrity will guide all of our actions. Our communications will be completely open and two-way. You will be able to review your dental photos and x-rays alongside us. You will be consulted before and during each stage of treatment. I will be personally involved in your dental care, every step of the way.
