Dr. Carolyn De Amicis
Welcome to Alliance Dental Truro! I’m Carolyn De Amicis, your partner in achieving healthy smiles and a vibrant oral well-being. I am passionate about many aspects of dentistry and bring a blend of experience, compassion, and commitment to comprehensive care to every patient’s journey.
My love for dentistry extends beyond the clinical realm- it’s the joy of making a difference in my patients’ lives, one smile at a time. I approach every patient interaction with genuine care and dedication to delivering personalized solutions. I love making connections with my patients and it brings me great joy to share dental experiences with all of my patient families.
Outside of the clinic, I cherish the joys and chaos of parenthood, and enjoy the time spent with my husband and four wonderful kids. Balancing the intricacies of operating a dental practice with the challenges of family life has taught, and continues to teach me, the importance of patience, organization, and effective communication – skills that seamlessly translate into my dental practice.
I take pride in being an active participant and advocate within our wonderful hometown. Whether through local dental health initiatives, volunteering opportunities or collaborating with fellow community members, I am dedicated to giving back and contributing to the collective well-being of this town.
Thank you for considering our clinic for your dental home. I am excited to embark on this journey with you, ensuring not only optimal health but also a warm, personalized experience that extends beyond the dental chair. I look forward to getting to know you!
