ABOUT ISABELLA TERRASSA REYES

As a dentist, I am allowed to care for people in a very personal way.I feel fortunate to meet and interact with individuals from diverse walks of life, each with their own experiences, insights, and dreams. Every person brings something different to my day: a joke, a piece of trivia, a story to relate. Each of these encounters enriches my day and broadens my world; I truly appreciate all that my patients teach me!The relationships that grow out of our time together is one of the most rewarding aspects of my profession. I cannot imagine a more wonderful way to be of service to others.I want each of my patients to feel supported and cared for, to know that they are important to me and that I always have their best interests at heart. Whether I’m working to get a person out of pain, helping them feel better about their smile, or providing education as they take control of their oral health, that person has my full attention.Dentistry involves trust and requires open, attentive communication. I need to understand a person’s desires and concerns in order to provide them with the ideal care. At the same time, my patient needs to feel comfortable talking with me and feel confident that I am hearing what they are expressing and respectful of their constraints.I am particularly drawn to working with people who have dental phobias. Whether a result of a past experience or some other origin, if someone experiences anxiety at the thought of a dental visit they may avoid care for years. This avoidance can lead to serious oral health issues, as well as impact their emotional wellbeing and overall health.When I’m able to establish a connection with such an individual, and they learn that I am patient and extremely gentle, they are able to take control of their smile’s health!
