Benjamin Richards, Dentist

I have a deep passion for dentistry, national parks, and fitness. Dentistry isn’t just a career for me; it’s a calling to improve lives through healthy smiles. With years of experience and a commitment to ongoing education, I strive to provide compassionate care and the latest treatments to my patients.

Outside the office, you’ll often find me exploring national parks. Nature fuels my spirit, offering a refreshing perspective that complements my dedication to wellness. I believe in leading by example, maintaining a fitness routine that keeps me energized and ready to tackle each day with enthusiasm.

Whether it’s hiking a challenging trail or perfecting a dental procedure, I approach everything with a sense of adventure and dedication. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where patients feel heard and empowered in their dental health journey. Let’s work together to achieve your best smile and overall well-being!

Priscilla Velasquez, Hygienist

  • A.S. in dental Hygiene – Broward College
  • B.S. in Health Science – University of Central Florida
  • Certified Dental Assistant – Broward College
  • Certified Registered Dental Hygienist – Broward College

As a dental hygienist, I find joy in promoting oral health and building meaningful connections with my patients. With meticulous care and a gentle touch, I strive to make each dental visit comfortable and educational.

Beyond the dental office, my interests extend to the kitchen, where I indulge in baking delicious treats for friends and family. I find baking to be a creative outlet that parallels my attention to detail in dental hygiene.

When I’m not ensuring bright smiles, I’m often exploring nature through hiking adventures. The serenity of the outdoors rejuvenates me, inspiring a balanced approach to life and wellness.

Traveling is another passion that allows me to experience diverse cultures and broaden my perspective. Whether exploring a new city or relaxing on a beach, I cherish the opportunity to discover new places and forge lasting memories.

I believe strongly that oral health is intertwined with overall well-being. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your journey to a healthy, radiant smile!
