Welcome to SmileWise Dentistry

Meet Dr. Reem Akel

Dr. Reem Akel founded SmileWise Dentistry to offer a better kind of dental experience—one rooted in empathy, education, and personalized care. The name “SmileWise” is a nod to her last name, which means “wise,” and reflects her commitment to thoughtful, informed care that puts patients first.

She earned her DDS from Virginia Commonwealth University and holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences. She’s certified in Invisalign and Botox and is a proud member of the American Academy of Clear Aligners.

With nearly a decade of clinical experience, Dr. Akel brings a calm, confident presence to the chair. She’s especially passionate about helping patients feel heard, whether they’re seeking preventive care or finally ready to tackle long-standing dental issues. Her favorite part of dentistry? Building trust and restoring confidence—one smile at a time.
