Dr. Thyra Jagger
Joined Dentistry for the Entire Family in 2014
A smile is the first thing someone often notices about you. "At the age of 15, I recall how embarrassed and self-conscious I was about my smile that I'd actually cover my mouth when I'd laugh to avoid showing my funky smile".
My smile was restored. "It was so liberating to be able to smile once again with confidence and not have to cover my mouth when I'd laugh. That experience is why I chose to become a dentist. "To help others smile with confidence."

Dr. Vetrano's goal is to put each patient's needs first, prioritizing the highest levels of care, comfort and communication.
In high school, Dr. Ventrano went on a medical mission trip to Costa Rica, working alongside doctors and a dentist. She was so moved to see people, fearful and in pain, who had never been to a dentist before—then leave with a smile on their face. It showed her how impactful dentistry could be and how important someone's smile really is.
