Dr. Lora Soliman , D.D.S., B.D.S., R.D.H
“Growing up as a little girl, my mother who is a dentist, used to take me to work with her. Having been around dentistry all my life, I knew going into high school that the career choice for me would be dentistry. The more I worked with her, the more intrigued I became in the field. Whether it was relieving their pain or brightening their smiles, I enjoyed watching her help people. One thing that stood out to me was how my mother was able to form long lasting relationships with her patients. Emulating her success at work inspired me to pursue dentistry.”
Dr. Soliman finds comfort in assisting both adult and pediatric patients. Dr. Soliman is also Invisalign trained. “Dentistry is a unique profession. It combines science and art. I am someone who enjoys working with their hands and who also enjoys different forms of art. The combination of these two have really made dentistry very enjoyable for me.”
With excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to get along with others, Dr. Soliman shares her great sense of humor and makes others comfortable as she works with them. Her contagious smile and positive attitude is something you can look forward to when visiting her in the dental chair.
“I treat patients as if they are my own family and each individual is cared for to the highest degree and standard. I go above and beyond to make sure they receive the best care. Perfecting my patients’ smiles to help boost self-confidence is what makes dentistry enjoyable.”
When she isn’t in the office, Dr. Soliman spends her time practicing the fine art of baking. She also enjoys playing the piano.
