Trusted. Local. Independent. Choose Dental Care with Heart.
I’ve always believed that dentistry is about more than fixing teeth — it’s about building trust. As someone who trained internationally and now calls Sarasota home, I bring a global perspective with a local heart. I want every patient to feel cared for, respected, and confident in their smile.
When I was just 8 years old, I started spending my summers shadowing my uncle, who was a dentist. From the moment I stepped into his office, I knew this was the path for me. Dentistry felt like more than just a profession—it felt like a calling.
This year marks 21 years since I graduated from dental school, and every one of those years has deepened my passion for helping people feel confident in their smiles. Before coming to US, I practice as a Periodontist in Brazil, and in US I went through AEGD (advanced education in General Dentistry) and GPR (General Practice Residency), and I take great pride. I specialize in periodontology and take great pride in combining general dentistry with the expertise of specialty care, all under one roof.
We believe that exceptional dental care starts with listening. That’s why we take time to understand each patient’s needs, concerns, and expectations. Our team speaks three languages, making it easier to connect with a wide range of patients in a comfortable, welcoming environment. We’re proud to offer comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatments—so everything you need is right here in one place.
What I enjoy most about being a dentist is witnessing the transformation in my patients—not just in their smiles, but in their confidence. Helping someone smile without hesitation is truly the most rewarding part of my work.
Earlier in my career, I was honored to be named “Best Professor” while teaching at a dental school in Brazil—a moment that means so much to me. I’m also a proud member of the American Dental Association (ADA), the Florida Dental Association (FDA), and the West Coast District Dental Association.
I became a dentist because I love working with people, helping them feel at ease and excited about their care. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, I take time to listen, explain, and create a plan that feels right for you.
Hi, I’m Dr. Anny, and I’ve had the privilege of practicing dentistry for over 23 years. From the very beginning, I was drawn to this field because it allows me to do something truly meaningful—help people smile with confidence, restore their self-esteem, and support their overall health. Dentistry isn’t just about teeth; it’s about changing lives, one patient at a time.
What sets my practice apart is the way we approach care: with warmth, empathy, and genuine attention to each patient’s individual needs. We are a private dental office focused on delivering a personalized experience in a welcoming environment. Whether you need general dentistry or orthodontic treatment, my team and I are here to provide comprehensive care all in one place.
We also understand the importance of communication. That’s why our team speaks English, Portuguese, and Spanish—so our patients feel understood and comfortable at every step of their dental journey.
My areas of expertise include both orthodontics and general dentistry. Before coming to the U.S., I was an orthodontist in Brazil, and in the U.S., I went through an AEGD (Advanced Education in General Dentistry) residency program. I’m a proud member of the American Dental Association, Florida Dental Association, and West Coast District Dental Association. These affiliations keep me connected to the latest advancements in dental care and ensure I can continue to offer high-quality, evidence-based treatment to my patients.
What I love most about being a dentist is the opportunity to connect with people. Every patient brings their own story, and learning about their lives and cultures has enriched me as a person. It's this human connection—along with the joy of seeing someone leave my office with a brighter smile—that makes this work so rewarding.
