Portrait of Dr. Rami Ammoun, prosthodontist at Richmond Implant & Smile Studio

Dr.Ammoun

Lead Surgical Prosthodontist
I was born in Lebanon and moved to the United States in 2013 to pursue my dream of becoming a prosthodontist. I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and completed my specialty training at Loma Linda University in California, where I focused on advanced implant and restorative dentistry. Outside of dentistry, I’m passionate about astrophotography — capturing the beauty of the night sky has been a creative outlet for me since 2015. I also love spending time with my cat, Leo, and enjoying life here in Richmond with my family and friends. Whether in the office or behind the telescope, I’m always striving to combine precision, artistry, and passion in everything I do.

Andrea

Office Manager
A valedictorian graduate of the Dental Assisting Institute of Virginia, Andrea has devoted more than a decade to transforming smiles and changing lives through dentistry. With experience spanning nearly every aspect of the dental office, she brings a deep understanding of the entire patient journey—from the first consultation to the final smile reveal. To Andrea, dentistry is about more than teeth—it’s about restoring confidence and quality of life. Outside the office, Andrea is a devoted mom who loves making memories with her family—whether exploring the shores of Wrightsville Beach or enjoying quiet evenings with her cat, Bellamy. You might also find her horseback riding or searching for the best local coffee shops.

James

Dental Lab Technician
I’ve always loved creating ever since I was a child, which led me to earn a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) from VCUarts (Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts). What began as an unexpected step into dental technology quickly became a passion, as I discovered the artistic and life-changing potential of recreating the beauty of nature through small, hyper-realistic restorations. With a background in fine art and sculpture, I bring a unique perspective to dental fabrication, applying both digital and hand skills with precision. My goal is to combine artistry, technical skill, and patient care to create restorations that are not only functional but truly life-changing.

She began her current position in February 2026 and loves that every day brings something new. Outside of work, Christina is a proud mom to Mason (14) and Layla (9), as well as a cat mom to Smokey. In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors—preferably by the ocean, especially the Outer Banks—and trying out new taco places whenever she can!

Yoselin

Dental Assistant
Yoselin became interested in the dental field about a year ago while exploring career paths that would allow her to truly help others. She realized dental assisting was the right fit for her because she genuinely cares about people and finds it meaningful to support patients and help them feel comfortable and cared for. Outside of school and work, she enjoys spending quality time with her friends and family, as well as expressing herself through arts and crafts. Her favorite food is quesabirria tacos, and her favorite show is How I Met Your Mother. In the future, she hopes to travel to Ibiza.
