Meet Dr. Rafaella Sampaio

I was born and raised in Brazil but moved to the outskirts of Boston, MA at a young age. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and went on to receive my dental degree from Boston University. I am passionate about comprehensive patient care and love creating a comfortable, personalized experience for each and every patient.

My husband, Eddie, is a 3rd generation Fort Myers native and my reason for relocating to beautiful southwest Florida. We have two beautiful little ones, Thomas and Isabella, who fill our lives with so much joy and keep us BUSY! In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, getting involved in my church and binge-watching the next Netflix series.

After working side by side with Dr. Allison, I am excited for the opportunity to continue his wonderful legacy. It was important to me to find a dentist and team that shared the same values and treatment philosophies. Lucky for me, I found the best in Cape Coral!

I look forward to serving our community for many years to come.

Dental Anxiety and Phobia

If you have a fear of dental work

In fact, some studies show that up to 75% of Americans experience some level of dental related fear and 20% avoid dental care because of it. If you have a fear of dental work, we want you to know that making you feel comfortable and safe at our office is our first priority. Dental anxieties and phobias present themselves in a wide variety of ways, and specific fears vary from person to person. Dental anxiety may be mild to moderate, and often takes the form of a general sense of worry and apprehension when thinking about an upcoming procedure.
