The thing that strikes most dental patients when they meet Dr. Akinwande for the first time is her positivity. She’s always smiling and encouraging even in trying situations, and this puts many dental patients’ minds at ease. A passionate provider, she loves seeing the smiles of satisfaction and gratitude on her dentistry patients’ faces following a treatment, and she cherishes being able to meet and form long-term relationships with people from so many walks of life. Before you have a chance to visit Open Smiles Dental, you can learn a little more about Dr. Akinwande below.
Dr. Akinwande had braces growing up, and her orthodontist worked in the same dental office as her uncle. Whenever she came in for a visit, she always wanted to see her uncle, but the team consistently told her he was busy. One day, she got so frustrated that she just rushed into his treatment room. Little did she know, her uncle was actually an oral surgeon, and he was in the middle of a procedure. Before she was calmly asked to exit, she got to see her uncle work with the patient and comfort them, and it really stuck with her. She walked out and told her mom, “That’s what I want to do when I grow up.”
Dr. Akinwande attended the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (where she played Division 1 basketball) before transferring and earning her degree at the University of New Mexico. From there, she went on to obtain her dental degree from the Howard University College of Dentistry. What followed was a one-year General Practice Residency at Coney Island Hospital in New York, and since then, she has taken several certification courses focused on implant dentistry. Dr. Akinwande is also certified to provide Invisalign, oral sedation, Botox/fillers, and Zoom! Whitening.
