Personal Biography

Dr. Kassab has been practicing dentistry since 2000. Over her career, she has developed a practice philosophy focused on long-term stability and reliability: “Dentistry is a lifelong need, so going somewhere where there is dentistry you can trust for you and your family is an important decision.”She emphasizes that because healthcare can be unpredictable, it is crucial to select a practice with a skilled, caring, and professional team capable of navigating unexpected clinical s cenarios and complex insurance billing.

What Dr. Kassab loves most about her job is educating patients on oral health, positively transforming their aesthetic needs, and seeing the profound impact great dentistry makes on their lives. She is equally passionate about mentoring her team, boosting practice productivity, and ensuring her staff is rewarded for their professional growth.

Two of her most memorable patient experiences were a smile reconstruction where Dr. Kassab treated a 15-year-old patient suffering from dentinogenesis imperfecta. Through cosmetic bonding, she completely transformed the teenager’s smile—helping her secure modeling contracts—while critically protecting her teeth from the rapid attrition that had caused her parents to lose their teeth by age 18. Dr. Kassab also successfully treated a patient suffering from severe, chronic orofacial pain using specialized TMD appliances, relieving her symptoms so completely that the patient was able to avoid an impending cervical spine surgery.

Dr. Kassab is a devout Christian who places a high value on faith, continuous learning, and family. Outside of the clinic, she is a passionate animal lover with a unique hobby: she is an avid collector of rare cat breeds.In her free time, she enjoys gardening and crafting her own custom spice and herb mixes. She also loves watching movies, reading, and exploring the culinary world—whether that means going out to discover new restaurants or cooking at home with her husband.
