Our Doctors

I was born and raised in a small town in Brazil. I have always been a big believer in contributing to my community and in helping people. This is why I decided to pursue Dentistry. I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery Diploma from PUC-PR University in Brazil in 2002. In Canada I wrote the board exams to receive my Canadian License. Since I moved to Canada I have experience every aspect of the dental office.

I have compassion for my patients but as well I have compassion for my team wanting them to achieve their highest potential. I want to make a difference in the world by offering my patients dentistry from the heart!

My office is my pride and joy! I only want the best for my patients and for my team. My mission is to free people of pain and to give them BIG smiles they are proud of. I believe in keeping an upbeat fun practice full of joy and laughter. I love surrounding myself with optimistic people and a team that has the same ideals as I do, a team that their number one priority is helping people. This is of vital importance to me.

As well I believe in always improving myself and my knowledge by taking many continuing education courses with my team. We are always updating not only our knowledge but as well we implement new techniques, equipment and safer materials for the benefit of our patients.

I absolutely love what I do!

On my free time, I enjoy quietness at home with a good book and a cup of tea and my fur babies.

I am a member and fellow of the Ontario Dental Association, The Canadian Dental Association, and the Academy of General Dentists.

I completed my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the distinguished Juiz de Fora Federal University, Dental Faculty of Brazil in 2008. I came to Canada to practice my lifelong passion, “dentistry”. Here I attended Ryerson University and later became certified by The Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Toronto after achieving high success in all dental qualifying examinations in Dalhouse Dental School in Halifax. I believe in always improving myself and the services I offer as a dentist. Therefore I am always taking continuing education courses to update my knowledge  and skills. I believe that we learn something new every day and we  always grow as professionals and as people.” I am a huge believer in giving back to the world and I often do volunteer  work in Canada and abroad. I am an affiliate of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario, the Academy of General Dentistry, The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, The Ontario Dental Association, America’s Pediatric Dentists Association and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Dentistry is my passion.

I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela where I completed a Bachelor of Science program.

I graduated from dental school being among the top of my class. I obtained a “Masters of Science” Degree in Orthodontics at The Intercontinental University in Mexico City in 2006.

In 2009, after working for several years in orthodontics, I moved to Canada, and completed many continuing education courses. I successfully completed the Equivalency Process to become an accredited general dentist in Canada.

My vast experience working in both private practices as well as in a non-for-profit setting: specifically, volunteering to assist underprivileged sectors of the Venezuelan population; has enabled me to have a better understanding of patient needs and wants. Knowing what I know, I partner with my patients to offer them a complete experience changing their lives and smiles.

Orthodontics (conventional clear or metal braces and Invisalign®) is my passion. I cannot think of anything else I would rather do.

I believe in always growing and offering my patients the best this is why I attend many continuing education courses. I am fully proficient in English and Spanish.

In my free time, I love spending time with my wife, daughter and baby son and I am a huge fan of the “Toronto Blue Jays” and the “Raptors”.

I graduated in 1999 from UNESP, a renowned Dental School in Brazil, and practicing general dentistry extensively for several years prior to moving abroad. I also have a Master’s of Science Degree in Genomic Sciences and Biotechnology.

When I moved to Toronto, I worked with scientific research at Mount Sinai Hospital, while preparing myself for the National Dental Examination Board of Canada. In 2016, I successfully completed my dental qualification, and have since then been working in general dentistry in Toronto.

I’m interested in all aspects of dentistry and have a specific interest in cosmetic dentistry. I truly believe that we can communicate our heart though our smile.

I love my profession and how I get to change people’s lives and old perceptions that caring for your oral health is painful and unpleasant. I am continuously improving my skills through continuing education so that I can offer the best level of care for my patients.

In my spare time, I love to read a good book, hike a beautiful trail, practice yoga or travel with my husband.

I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario where I grew up in a Portuguese family and community. I obtained my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Toronto, where I fell in love optimizing people’s oral health and minimizing their discomfort. I spent the past few years involved with the community where we held events to provide dental care to those with financial obstacles and to those with intellectual disabilities. In the future, I hope to continue using my time to provide dental care in remote communities of Ontario to improve access to dental care.

My experiences in dentistry have opened my eyes to the increasing anxiety that patient’s experience when they come to the dentist. I want to ensure that no patient avoids coming to seek dental care due to fear, which is why I am currently studying in a three-year master’s program at the University of Toronto to provide advanced modes of sedation, including general anesthesia, to dental patients. This way, patients can receive all ranges of dental treatment in a relaxed environment.

My current hobbies include going on hikes, reading, and playing soccer!

I am a native Torontonian (third generation!) and after completing my Bachelor of Sciences degree at the University of Western Ontario in London, I returned home to Toronto to study for 6 years further at the University of Toronto to receive my Masters of Sciences degree, followed by my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree.

I have always been an active member of the community and strongly believe in the importance of volunteerism and giving back. As a result, I have been involved with several non-profit organizations over the years; most notable is my long-term involvement with childhood cancer communities across Canada. I have also committed time to promoting improved oral health care in rural communities in Ontario.  I always knew I wanted have a career that would allow me to work with, and help people on a daily basis… and dentistry allows me to do just that!

My favourite part of dentistry is establishing positive and long-term relationships with my patients, and being able to deliver the best possible treatment to them. I love all areas of dentistry, but especially cosmetic dentistry; I find that giving people confidence to smile their most beautiful smile is very rewarding!

In my spare time, I love spending time outdoors in nature, cycling, and hiking, I love exploring new areas around the city, as well as travelling abroad, and spending time with my family, my husband and Bernedoodle dog Ernie.

Under Construction

I studied dentistry at the University of Toronto before completing a residency in general practice in Brooklyn, New York.

I have a passion for creating a comfortable and positive environment while providing comprehensive treatment to patients of all ages.

I believe that professionalism, honesty, and integrity are the three pillars on which I base the way I practice. I prioritize the oral and overall health of each patient that sees me. I advocate for the well being of all my patients and I am always available to them.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, trying new restaurants, travelling and getting active. I love to play and watch sports, especially when the Toronto Maple Leaf’s are playing!
