Thank you for your interest in our practice and coming to our website! I really enjoy what I do and I am always dedicated to providing the best outcomes and experience for each and every patient. My goal is to make my office a family style practice that places quality patient care at the top of the priority list and yet remains affordable to have a beautiful smile.

  • Creighton University Medical Center, Omaha, NE: Doctor of Dental Surgery 2000 Graduated Summa Cum Laude and class Valedictorian. Installed in Omega Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society, Alpha Omega International Dental Fraternity for the highest academic standing, The Pierre Fauchard Academy for outstanding academic achievements in dentistry and The American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Award for exemplary aptitude and achievement in oral and maxillofacial pathology.
  • I believe my patients deserve the best care available, so that is why I focus on the latest advances in orthodontics like Invisalign, implants, and surgical aesthetic approaches as well as the newest digital technology. We have digital scanning technology for our impressions that allows for no more goop and no gag impressions. Weuse 3D printing to make our models and molds for faster service to our patients. Our x-rays are digital resulting in lower radiation exposure and our patient charts are all digital technology.

    I am the most experienced Invisalign provider in Pender and Brunswick county. I have over 150hours of continuing education units in Invisalign mechanics, treatment planning and technology advancements. The courses I take as well as my previous engineering background allow me to solve complicated orthodontic treatment problems to achieve beautiful results for my patients. I also concentrate on advances in pediatric dentistry. This allows me to help my younger patients with conservative treatments of guided tooth eruption as well as facial and smile development.

    Orthodontics is unique in the sense that I can develop a closer relationship with my patients and their family because of their time in treatment. I really feel blessed to have the opportunity to watch my patients personalities grow and develop as their smiles change. This is truly rewarding for everyone and we learn so much about each other.

    As James Matthew Barrie said, Those that bring sunshine to others cannot keep it from themselves. Our team will help bring a little sunshine into your life and a smile to your face. My dental team has helped me acquire the honor of attaining the Americas Top Dentists Award for the last 13 years!

    I come from a large Italian family with four sisters! We enjoy getting together as often as we can, so I can spend time with my ten nieces and nephews! I also have a dog, Penny, and a rescued cat named Cappuccina. One of my greatest passions is working with my hands, a skill I learned from my father. Photography, carpentry, woodworking and car restoration are among activities that occupy my free time. I am also a member of the Oak Island Hunting Club and the NRA.

    I live in Hampstead, and believe the future of our community is our children. As an Eagle Scout, I help my community by remaining actively involved with the Boy Scouts as a merit badge counselor, a Founding Advisor of Venture Crew 2789, and the Boy Scouts Executive Advisory Board. I am a mentor for senior high school students at Dixon and Topsail High Schools for career development and senior projects, in addition to sponsoring these schools athletic programs.

    My name is Gabriella and I work as the new patient ambassador for Cherubini Orthodontics. My calm demeanor helps me communicate with patients efficiently and gets them excited to start treatment.

Our practice stays current with each patients activities and accomplishments! What's important to you is important to us.

    For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.

    When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile you've always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.

    Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.

    Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!

    Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.

    Dr. Cherubini and his staff are top notch with answering questions, explaining in detail the treatment plan and most importantly, chairside manners with treating his patients with respect. Dr. Cherubini is taking over my child's ortho treatment from a general dentist who did not do the best in bracket placement, nor treat my child nicely. I am so glad I went around to check out offices and get new quotes for my child's treatment and came across this office employed with helpful, knowledgeable and kind staff.

    Our family was vacationing in Topsail for the week, and my daughter lost her bag of rubber bands. After a few failed calls, I found Cherubini Orthodontics! We appreciate the doctor and staff for going out of the way to help us! If you are local, I'd say you're lucky to have such an amazing clinic! One Love from Colorado!

    I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Dr. Cherubini and the entire staff. They are always welcoming and accommodating. I don't know about you but I'm the person with a lot of dental anxiety, they took the time to walk me through the entire process to ease my mind and nerves.They truly go above and beyond to make you feel relaxed during your dental process.The office staff are very helpful over the phone and take every precaution to ensure safety during the pandemic. I've always been able to get a quick appointment and I have never waiting for any extended period of time. I can now smile confidently knowing my teeth look great and it didn't break the bank. Dr. Cherubini and his team are hands down the BEST!

    Never would I have thought, in all my years (and I have a few behind me), that I would walk out of a visit with an orthodontist happy and confident after just my first visit! Starting this journey during a pandemic was scary, but the sweet ladies in the office make it seem like the most natural process in the world. Dr. Cherubini is a very thorough and patient professional. He takes time during every visit to speak to me and explain what is happening during my Invisalign treatment. And when I discovered a problem with the aligners, he quickly had Invisalign make new ones!! I cannot say enough about how wonderful Cherubini Orthodontics has been! I highly recommend them to people of ALL ages!! Now at what should have been the end of this journey, I had a concern and the Dr understood and immediately switched gears to get me another round of aligners to see of we could get it better!! He didn't try to convince me that smile was good enough, he valued my feelings! Dr. Cherubini and his staff have been top notch thru my entire process!

    I came to this office when I first moved to this area as a referral. They were AWESOME. I had a wire going straight through my jaw and this office fixed me right up. The lady up front.. I cant remember her name but she has red hair and referred me to a hair salon in Wilmington.. LOL, anyway she was so SO helpful! Explained all the insurance stuff to me thoroughly and made the check in process quick and easy. I was happy to see COVID being taken seriously! (Especially since they were going to be digging in my mouth.) loved it here!
