Dr. Paranhos was born and raised in Americana, a small, charming city in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Since her graduation from dental school in 2001, Dr. Paranhos has been passionate about Minimally-Invasive and Conservative Dentistry. She decided to pursue a career in Adhesive and Biomimetic Dentistry. She is a specialist in Advanced Operative Dentistry, with a Master of Science and PhD in Dental Materials. Dr. Paranhos came to the United States to pursue her dream and work under the mentorship of one of the most renowned professors in his area, Dr. Pascal Magne, with whom she published several articles regarding Bonding and Adhesive Dentistry.

While obtaining her PhD at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at the University of Southern California, Dr. Paranhos had the opportunity to receive substantial training in Digital Dentistry (including CAD/CAM). She also had the chance to work with an extremely talented Master Ceramist, Michel Magne. Dr. Paranhos was invited to teach junior and senior students as part of the Esthetic Selective. After four years of teaching at USC, Dr. Paranhos decided to validate her Brazilian dental license in the United States and went back to dental school for two years to earn her second Doctorate of Dental Surgery.

Following her extensive professional training, Dr. Paranhos was thrilled to work at the Dental College of Georgia at Augusta University for more than three years, where she fell in love with Georgia and its lovely and welcoming people.
