Providing premier dentistry with a personal touch for over 17 years, Dr. Jeffrey Emmi feels that the most rewarding part of his job is interacting daily with his patients and staff. Born in Wilmington, Dr. Emmi earned his Doctorate in Dental Medicine from the Temple University School of Dentistry in 1990. He subsequently founded Smile Solutions by Emmi Dental Associates based on his personal practice philosophy that when a dentist makes the effort to "treat people nice and do good dentistry, everything else seems to fall in line." To ensure he remains at the forefront of modern dentistry, each year Dr. Emmi takes more than the number of continuing education hours required by the state dental board. He has served as President of the Delaware Academy of General Dentistry and is a member of the Delaware State Dental Society and the American Dental Association. In his spare time, Dr. Emmi enjoys participating in sports, including golf, fishing, and tennis, and he takes particular pleasure in spending time with his wife, two daughters, and son.
The latest member of the Smile Solutions by Emmi Dental Associates is Dr. Laura A. Dougherty, who finds that the most rewarding aspects of her chosen career are being able to help ensure patients have a comfortable dental experience and seeing her patients gain confidence when they see their newly restored, beautiful smiles.
