If your child is a candidate for braces, chances are both of you have a least a few questions and potential concerns. Young children and even teens may feel a combination of apprehension and excitement as they begin their journey...

Few of us would trust our car maintenance to an unlicensed mechanic, or embark on costly home repairs using an inexperienced contractor. Yet, with the rise in popularity of mail order aligners and at-home teeth straightening kits, many people are...

I love being an orthodontist! There is simply no other profession that combines science, art, and personal connections. I spend my days surrounded by energetic, dynamic people who are changing their lives and get to share their excitement and their smiles!

My time with patients is the best part of my day. I enjoy interacting with them, learning who they are, and becoming their friends. Whether Im working with a child telling me about extracurricular activities, a teen talking about plans for college, or an adult sharing insight into his or her experiences, my world is enriched. No two days are the same, no two patients are the same, and no two visits are the same. All our patients makes the day as exciting and unique as they are!

I approach treatment planning and care of each person as if he or she were my child or part of my family. I strive to be gentle and respectful, placing the patients needs at the forefront of all my decisions. I never forget that Im caring for a person, not just a set of teeth.

I work with an amazing group of people who truly treat our patients as if they are family members. Each person works hard to give our office a very warm, family-like environment in the hope that patients and their families feel comfortable and welcome at each and every visit.

Through continuing education, I stay current on new orthodontic methods, technological advances, and scientific findings. My patients deserve the best and correct care approach thats tailored to their specific situation; postgraduate studies ensure that I exceed their expectations and create the healthy, confidently beautiful smile of their dreams.

I grew up just south of here, in Merritt Island, and moved to Ormond Beach in 2007 with my high-school sweetheart and now husband, Jason. Non-work hours are spent chasing around our two wonderful and very energetic young boys, Zorin and Finn. When Im able to find free time, I enjoy boating and playing tennis.

In my free time, I enjoy staying active through running, biking, and outdoor activities. I have been married for over 25 years and have four wonderful children. We have been a host family to several foreign exchange students and consider it a mission to bring joy to the lives of others through fellowship with family and friends.

I really enjoy working with our patients as they transform their smile and change their lives. Its amazing to watch each person gain confidence and become more outgoing as they see the change in their appearance. I work in the clinic: seating patients, preparing them for the doctor, and assisting Dr. DeSantis with patient care. I also track and order the clinical supplies.

Originally from Connecticut, I moved to Florida in 2012. I have a baby girl named Callie; shes a red-headed Chihuahua and also a cancer survivor. In my free time, I like to shop til I drop, take trips to Disney and Universal, and host game nights for family and friends on the weekends.

I thoroughly enjoy the relationships I get to build with our patients and their families. They become an extension of my family and Im so happy theyre in my life! Because I work as an assistant, I get to know everyone and love seeing each persons new smile as it appears.

My spouse and I have known each other over 18 happy years. We have an amazing son and a gorgeous daughter that are very active. In my free time, I enjoy decorating the house, reading, activities with my family, and travel when possible. We do not have any pets but stay active with our children and close family.

Having more than 15 years working in all areas of the dental administration field, I enjoy working with our patients, understanding and explaining any insurance benefits and financial questions. I thoroughly enjoy watching the changes in our patients from start to finish. Building lasting relationships with the families through their experience in our office is what drives me to come to work every day.

Originally from Ohio and married to my love for over 20 years, we have two daughters named Olivia and Phoebe. We have rescue a dog, Mocha, that loves to play fetch and eat treats. Besides being busy parents, we enjoy spending time at the beach, swimming, and enjoying time together as a family.

With over 30 years in advertising and marketing, I enjoy coordinating marketing, advertising and various types of community support for Atlantic Orthodontics. Its important to educate the community about proper orthodontic health, how we change lives and answer questions about the kinds of treatments available in our state-of-the-art treatment facility.

Born in New York City, I moved to West Palm Beach in 1985 where I met my husband Franz, a Creative Director, during a job interview. Married for over 30 years we have a son, Alex, who is an environmental engineer and recently married to his beautiful wife Bri. I love gardening, living beach side in Ormond-by-the-sea where I enjoy walking on the beach, hiking, fishing and swimming.

As a young girl I never thought about pursuing a career in the field of dentistry. Now, after 20 years working professionally in the industry, I cant imagine doing anything else. One of my greatest rewards is being able to help patients through their orthodontic journey, help to ease dental anxiety and answer questions they might have. Our patients become family and friends.

Born in Denver Ive lived in Colorado and Arizona enjoying the mountains and desert. My husband and our puppy dogs, Chloe and Chile, now enjoy the beautiful Atlantic Ocean living in Florida. We love entertaining family and friends, game nights and when I get a minute sometimes I might even quilt.
