Dr. Olivia Oriani
Dr. Olivia Oriani ("Dr. O" to her patients) grew up in Southeastern Pennsylvania but now calls the nation’s capital her home. A Nittany Lion at heart, she received her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Penn State University. Her interest in science and the hands-on aspect of dentistry led her to earn her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, where she graduated magna cum laude.
Upon graduation, she was also awarded the Frank C. Jerbi Award for excellence in prosthodontics. Dr. O has a passion for knowledge and aims to learn new techniques and keep her skills current throughout her career. She loves attending continuing education courses in the DC community and was recently selected as a 2023 Top Dentist by Washingtonian!
Dr. O strives to always deliver the best possible care to her patients. She chose to further her education and complete a residency at the Baltimore Veterans Association Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, where she provided much-needed restorative, surgical, and esthetic procedures for veterans. She has also participated in multiple mission trips to treat those with limited access to proper healthcare. The most recent of these brought her to Sorsogon City in the Philippines. Her compassion propels her to provide top-notch care for all her patients.
Dr. O is an active member of the American Dental Society and the DC Dental Society. She practices a wide variety of general dentistry procedures, including esthetic crown and bridge work, porcelain veneers, composite bonding, root canal therapy, and implant restoration. She takes great pride in her work, and patient comfort is her top priority.
Outside of the dental office, Dr. O is an avid snowboarder and enjoys playing tennis and keeping active. You’ll likely catch her at Barry’s Bootcamp or Soul Cycle in her free time. She also loves traveling, exploring DC, and spending time with her friends, family, and Birman cat Theo.
I highly recommend Dr. O and her entire team. From the front desk to the dentist chair and back again, the whole experience is enjoyable. (Yes, the visiting the dentist can be enjoyable!) Dr. O and her staff are super concerned with your comfort at all times, while delivering exceptional dental work. I most recently got veneers with Dr. O, and I’ve never been happier with my teeth. She makes the entire process as simple and manageable as possible, and in the end she delivers gorgeous teeth, expertly tailored to your needs/wants and perfectly fit to your smile. It has taken me my lifetime to find a dentist I love and trust this much.
