What brings you the most confident satisfaction in your work?

Seeing a true, confident smile at the end of treatment is the most meaningful part of my work. With the CDCP program, many patients who lacked access to dental care for years are finally receiving treatment. Rebuilding their oral health –whether through full-mouth reconstruction with implants or combination of restorative dentistry and partial dentures–it has been life-changing for them, and deeply rewarding for me. I love standing in the operatory at the end of these treatments, watching patients look in the mirror and seeing their joy. That moment is priceless. Similarly, transforming smiles with Invisalign has been a source of bliss since my early career. Helping patients gain confidence through a healthier, straighter smile is an experience I never take for granted.

What brings you the most satisfaction in your work?

For both of us, the greatest professional satisfaction is rooted in witnessing the transformation of an anxious child. There is no reward greater than patiently guiding a very anxious young patient to become not only comfortable in our clinic, but confident and trusting of our care. Being a part of this transformation is the essence of our mission. Our ultimate success is measured by seeing our patients mature into young adults who embrace lifelong oral health without the burden of dental anxiety. Furthermore, we consider it a sincere privilege to connect with and form lasting bonds with the entire family. We hold immense gratitude for the trust placed in us when parents choose our practice to lay their child’s foundation for positive dental health. This partnership with families is what truly defines and enriches our work every single day.

What brings you the most satisfaction in your work?

What brings me the most satisfaction in my work is being part of a patient’s journey – from the very first visit, when they’re often anxious or unsure, to the moments when they begin to truly see and feel the change in their smile. Invisalign in particular, allows me to witness the incredible transformation in confidence, and sharing that joy with patients never gets old. But what means the most to me are the long-term relationships that grow over time. I love being the dentist they return to year after year, watching their families grow and knowing they trust me to care for them throughout every stage of their lives. If you’re searching for a new dental home built on trust, compassion and exceptional care, we would love to welcome you. New patients are always invited to join our Park Lane Family.

What is unique about your practice?

I really just wanted to create a space where great dentistry is performed in a great setting; where patients feel informed, cared for, and comfortable. I wanted to step away from the cookie-cutter dentistry and establish a small, patient-centered practice in the heart of Roncesvalles. At Roncy Dental Studio, we’ve carefully built a team that will take time for you and your family. Our mission is to individualize your oral health care, ensuring every patient receives treatments tailored to their unique needs. My highly experienced team provides preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, implants, emergency care, and TMD therapy. One patient recently told me,“When I come in, it doesn’t feel like I’m coming to the dentist, but into my friend’s kitchen for a catch-up.” Moments like this remind me why I do what I do: creating a friendly, welcoming environment where families feel confident and supported while receiving exceptional dental care.
