Meet Dr. Kristina Taranov — The Heart Behind Every Smile in Naples, FL

For Dr. Kristina Taranov, dentistry isn’t just a profession — it’s a calling that began in childhood. Growing up with a father who was a dentist, she spent her teenage years working in clinics, absorbing everything she could about caring for patients and transforming lives through smiles.

From her early hands-on training as a surgical assistant in oral and maxillofacial surgery in Ukraine, to leading orthodontic teams in New York City and caring for patients as an anesthesia-certified hygienist in Naples — Dr. Taranov has lived and breathed every layer of dentistry. Patients love her not just for her skill, but for her kindness, patience, and the time she takes to understand every goal, fear, and dream behind each smile.

She earned her first dental degree (DMD) from Uzhhorod National University in 2017, and later graduated with honors from Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of Dentistry as a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). While at VCU, she was selected for the elite CAD/CAM program and served as a teaching assistant in advanced restorative and digital dentistry — blending high-level technology with her personal, human touch.

Dr. Kristina Taranov is proud to be a member of several respected organizations, including:

  • American Dental Association

  • Florida Dental Association

  • American Academy of Sleep Medicine

  • American Dental Education Association

  • Ensign Academy of Dentistry

  • Association for Dental Safety

A Smile That Reflects You — Our Philosophy of Care

Whether you’re seeking advanced ceramic veneers, natural-looking crowns, aesthetic restorations, or gentle facial enhancements like Botox or dermal fillers, we approach your care with one mission: to make you feel confident, comfortable, and truly seen.
