SERENE DENTAL - Key Persons


Dr. Damien Blanco

Dr. Blanco was born and raised in South Florida, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Florida International University in Miami, FL. He knew he wanted to become a dentist when he saw how dentistry combined medical study with a uniquely artistic and hands-on approach, so he advanced his studies and obtained a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL. His goal now as a dentist is to provide exceptional, high quality patient care while enhancing the patient experience. He makes it a priority to routinely attend continual education courses to stay current with dentistry's latest techniques and research. He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Florida Dental Association, the Central Florida District Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the Dental Society of Greater Orlando. Dr. Blanco's mission each day is to help each patient feel comfortable with mutual trust and open communication, pay attention to each story, and work together to improve their dental health using the newest advancements in dentistry. When outside the office he likes trying new recipes and restaurants, exercising, and reading.
