About Us
Dr. Tamara Tavakoli believes dentistry should feel personal, convenient, and never rushed, and that belief shapes everything about us. She founded her practice with the goal of providing thoughtful, high-quality care in a calm, welcoming environment — where patients feel heard, respected, and confident in their treatment decisions.
Dr. Tavakoli takes a comprehensive approach to oral health, focusing on prevention, long-term function, and aesthetics. She is known for her gentle chairside manner and her ability to clearly explain options so patients can make informed choices without pressure.
She earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Nova Southeastern University and stays current through continuing education. Dr. Tavakoli is committed to using modern, conservative techniques and partnering with US laboratories to deliver care that is aesthetic and strong.
Outside of the office, Dr. Tavakoli enjoys time with family, going to Lightning games, and walking along Bayshore Boulevard. She looks forward to building lasting relationships with patients and becoming a trusted resource for the Tampa Bay community.
Mariana Orozco-Arango was raised in Medellín, Colombia, where she developed a passion for oral health at a young age, inspired by her mother, who is a dentist. She will be graduating in Spring 2026 from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology, concentrating in Biomedical Sciences.
With five years of experience as a dental assistant, Mariana has worked alongside professionals in periodontics, oral surgery, and general dentistry, gaining a well-rounded clinical background and a strong commitment to patient care.
Outside of the office, she enjoys staying active through running, playing volleyball, and lifting weights. She also loves spending time at the beach, hanging out with friends, and caring for her black cat Monsi.
Mariana plans to attend dental school next year, with the goal of becoming a skilled and compassionate dentist dedicated to improving patients’ oral health and confidence.
