Meet the Doctor
Anthony Dao, DMD
Dr. Anthony Dao founded AD Smile Studio with a simple yet meaningful goal: to help patients achieve healthy, confident smiles in a comfortable, modern environment. His passion for dentistry stems from a genuine desire to improve not only oral health but overall well-being, because a confident smile can truly change how someone feels about themselves.
A Passion for Precision
and Patient Care
Growing up, Dr. Dao enjoyed hands-on projects and crafts that required focus, detail, and precision, skills that naturally translated into dentistry. Today, he combines that same attention to detail with advanced clinical training to deliver care that is both highly precise and aesthetically refined.
For Dr. Dao, the most rewarding part of dentistry is helping patients get out of pain and regain confidence in their smiles. He understands that dental visits can be stressful for some, which is why he prioritizes trust, communication, and comfort in every patient interaction.
Education and Advanced Training
Dr. Dao earned his dental degree from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, where he trained in a modern curriculum that integrated both conventional and digital dentistry. The program’s early clinical exposure and small class size allowed him to build strong clinical confidence and treat a wide range of patient needs.
Committed to continuous growth, Dr. Dao has completed advanced training in oral sedation and cosmetic veneer dentistry. He regularly participates in continuing education courses and advanced programs through the MOD Pro Institute, ensuring he remains at the forefront of evolving dental techniques and technologies. His approach has also been shaped by mentorship from leading oral surgeons and cosmetic dentists who set high standards for excellence in patient care.
A Commitment to Community
Dr. Dao chose to open AD Smile Studio in this growing community to meet the strong need for high-quality dental care and to build long-term relationships with his patients. He is committed to making comprehensive dental treatment accessible through flexible, patient-focused options.
He values the welcoming, motivated spirit of the community and enjoys helping patients take meaningful steps toward improving their oral health.
A Modern, Comprehensive Approach
At AD Smile Studio, Dr. Dao emphasizes advanced technology to provide precise, efficient, and comfortable treatment. Comprehensive exams, detailed imaging, and personalized treatment planning allow for accurate diagnoses and optimal outcomes.
He believes that function and aesthetics go hand in hand, and healthy teeth should also look natural and beautiful. Using photos and videos, Dr. Dao thoroughly educates patients about their conditions and treatment options, presenting ideal solutions along with appropriate alternatives so patients can make informed decisions with confidence.
For patients with dental anxiety, AD Smile Studio offers nitrous oxide and oral sedation, a calming atmosphere with music, and clear explanations of every procedure to ensure a comfortable experience.
Beyond the Office
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Dao enjoys watching movies, traveling to experience new places and cultures, and spending time with friends. These experiences continue to shape his perspective and reinforce his belief that dentistry should be both functional and aesthetic—delivered efficiently, comfortably, and with genuine care.
