Meet Dr. Dan Pinto, Smiles International's new associate. Dan is finishing up his training in Prosthodontics at the University of Buffalo and will begin practicing with us in August.

Raised in the Fingerlakes region of upper New York state, Dan is looking forward to some warmer winters with less snow. He vacationed here as a child, enjoying especially the Air and Space Museum.

He is a fan of Luis Lionel Andres (“Leo”) Messi who plays for FC Barcelona club and one of the best players in the world.

Dan has also earned a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. The five rules of Tae Kwon Do are courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control, and indomitable spirit. We definitely see that in Dan.

Dan recognizes that fitness is an important requirement of the practicing dentist. 

Why Dan became a dentist

Dan's family is academically oriented. He credits his pursuits in dentistry and the science of medicine a natural consequence. He not only completed four years of dental training but pursued three years of additional training to earn a specialty in Prosthodontics.
