Dr. Nicole Ricart was born in Miami, Florida, and raised in the Dominican Republic, where her roots deeply shaped her passion for serving others. Her journey into dentistry began at just eleven years old, when a life-changing experience at the dentist’s office sparked an unshakable desire to one day create those same transformative moments for others.

She began her dental education at Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE) in the Dominican Republic, then moved to the U.S. to complete an advanced placement program at the University of Puerto Rico, where she earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. Since 2016, Dr. Ricart has been practicing dentistry with a deep commitment to conservative, patient-centered care. She genuinely enjoys the challenge and reward of helping patients preserve their natural teeth whenever possible.

Dr. Ricart is especially passionate about endodontics—a field where she thrives on solving complex cases that often fall beyond the scope of general dentistry. She has completed extensive continuing education in advanced endodontic procedures and is trained in the use of dental microscopes to ensure precision, comfort, and long-term results. Her approach is rooted in empathy, warmth, and a touch of humor—helping patients feel at ease, even during the most difficult treatments.

Before co-owning Anchored Smiles of Naples with her husband, Dr. Ricart worked her way up in U.S. dental practices—starting as a dental assistant, eventually leading a team, and growing both professionally and personally. Her journey has taught her the value of hard work, leadership, and lifelong learning.
