“Making one person smile can change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world.”

Dr. Sant discovered his passion for dentistry after observing the detrimental effects of poor dental care while living in the Philippines, where many people suffered constant oral pain and felt shame about the appearance of their damaged teeth. Dentistry is instrumental in maintaining not only optimal oral health and overall systemic wellbeing but also one’s self-esteem and dignity.

To Dr. Sant, there is nothing more important, or more beautiful, than seeing a patient smile with a renewed sense of self-confidence. 

My Mission

“My mission in dentistry is to improve lives by providing exceptional treatment using the best techniques, treatments, and technology to elevate oral health, build beautiful smiles, and boost my patients’ self-esteem and confidence. I want all of my patients to enjoy healthy, happy smiles and share them freely with the world.”
