Montavilla Dental Arts began as the dream of Dr. Nicole Apollon-Chirouze DMD, MPH, and was opened in 2017. Her practice has since expanded to include a brilliant and talented team of dentists, hygienists, and staff who all appreciate the opportunity to work with you on improving your teeth and dental health from the first visit to long-term patients.
At Montavilla, our focus is always on you, the patient. Its our goal to be partners in maintaining, restoring, or enhancing your teeth and oral health. To do that, we always listen first to provide compassionate patient care and education so you can make the right choice for your dental health.
We believe in learning about and using the latest dental health technology to improve your results and your comfort level, whether thats using the intraoral camera, digital x-rays, CBCT, oral sedation, and/or nitrous. We are also always a mercury-free clinic.
I graduated from Princeton University in Economics. I have a Masters in Public Health from Drexel University in Philadelphia. I have my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Case Western Reserve School of Dental Medicine. I was the recipient of Academy of General Dentistry award, American Association of Endodontists Award and recipient of a Clinical Scholarship award.
I am passionate about dentistry and am always seeking ways to improve my skill and knowledge to better serve you. I enjoy not only the clinical aspect of dentistry, but also the personal relationships that form naturally from working closely with patients. I take many continuing education courses regarding implants, orthodontics, periodontics and cosmetic techniques, and volunteer with the Compassion Clinic. I currently serve as the Clinical Director of Oregon Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) Mastertrack Program and am on the Continuing Education Committee for the AGD.
