Meet Dr. Jenifer Santos, DMD
Prosthodontist
Dr. Jenifer Santos is our newest and most exiting member of the dental community in the Florida Keys. With a vast post-doctorate education and work experience, Dr. Santos delivers a blend of modern and personalized dental care tailored towards gentle care, precision dentistry, and most importantly: beautiful smiles.
Dr. Santos is an experienced Prosthodontist who completed her Doctorate in Dental Medicine (DMD) at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia.
Determined to be able to provide the best smiles to our community, she then completed an AEGD residency at the Miami VA hospital, where she focused on the cosmetic aspect of dentistry. Eager to expand her field of training, Dr. Santos went on to complete yet a second residency program at the University of Florida Graduate Prosthodontics, where she received her Prosthodontics Certificate as well as a Master in Dental Science.
During her last post-graduate program, she had the honor to be pronounced chief surgical resident for her achievements reconstructing complex cases. This extensive training allowed her to reconstruct and help patients not only prosthetically but also surgically, giving her ample understanding and experience in implant placement and restoration, bone graft and ridge augmentation, and complex surgical extractions.
After her training, DR. Santos moved to Miami where she practiced for many years before moving to beautiful Key Largo Florida. Now, committed to staying up- to-date with the latest technology and dental achievements, Dr. Santos is part of the American Dental Association, the Florida Dental Association as well as the American College of Prosthodontics.
