Fort Myers, FL Drs and Health Practioners

Fully understanding the anxiety often associated with a visit to the dentist, the friendly and professional staff at Quality Dental Smiles dedicates themselves to keeping patients of all ages feeling safe and comfortable. The staff coddles patients during treatments with soft pillows, blankets, and calming classical music while offering optional dark glasses to help block out harsh lights and prevent patients from being recognized by their fans. The gentle hygienists also show respect for sensitive gum lines during cleanings, carefully removing buildup with tools that have undergone the most advanced sterilization procedures, and cosmetic services such as Zoom! teeth whitening and porcelain veneers inject a dose of confidence into formerly shy smiles.

Believing that a well-informed patient is better equipped to make appropriate health care decisions, Dr. Ali Etessam and his friendly staff educate mouth owners on the best way to care for their smiles. Inside comfortable treatment rooms, they indulge patients’ thirst for dental knowledge via educational videos or computer imaging software with visualizations of their smiles superimposed onto Mr. or Mrs. PacMan. In addition to basic oral upkeep, the doctor—who boasts certificates in Advanced Orthodontics and TMJ—offers dental treatments ranging from veneers to Zoom! teeth whitening to Invisalign. The doctor also helps reverse non-oral signs of aging with quick administrations of Botox.

"I chose plastic surgery because before this, I did an extensive amount of drawing and sculpting," says Dr. Manuel Peña. Because of these artistic talents, Dr. Peña sees the aesthetically pleasing potential of each of his patients, and because he's a board-certified plastic surgeon, he has the expertise to realize that potential. He does so in several ways—by lifting and defining drooping breasts, tummies, and buttocks, by rejuvenating tired eyelids and brows, and by doodling smiley faces on foreheads.

Dr. Peña gives back by volunteering for local and international organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club of Collier County, Careforce International in West Africa, and Operation Rainbow in Central and South America.
