To her patients, Dr. de Lima is more than a skilled dentist: She is a trusted friend. They know that, whatever treatment she suggests or procedure she recommends, she always has their best interests at heart. As Dr. de Lima herself says, “I’m not satisfied until my patients are satisfied. I want them to have smiles they can be proud of.” She obtained her Doctor of Dental Surgery from one of the oldest and most venerated dental schools in the country, Howard University College of Dentistry in Washington, D.C. Today, Dr. de Lima is a member of the American Dental Association and the Florida Dental Association. As an Invisalign-certified dentist, she can straighten uneven teeth and close unsightly gaps using a series of clear plastic “braces.” Born in Montreal, Quebec and raised in the Caribbean, Dr. de Lima enjoys kayaking and traveling in her spare time.
