Hey everybody, I’m Nicole Branca and I have been a dentist for over 14 years. I grew up on the west side of Fort Worth before moving to Brownwood for college, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Howard Payne University. I married my college sweetheart and we moved to Houston where I attended and graduated from the University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston. My husband and I have been married for eighteen years and have three boys.

When I am not working, I enjoy training for my next half-marathon, cooking, traveling, going to Disney World with the boys, reading, and watching movies. My goal as a dentist is to always put the needs of my patients first and to provide them with the best dental care possible. The highlight of my day is when I get to see my patient’s expression when they look in the mirror for the first time after restoring their smile. Those moments are what make me truly love what I do.

Dr. Juan Silva Riquelme (Dr. Silva for short), joined the Today Dental team to pursue his passion of helping patients achieve their oral health goals. He works daily to ensure that all of his patients feel heard, supported, and comfortable.

Dr. Silva has lived in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for more than 10 years. He completed his bachelor’s degree in biology at the University of Texas at Dallas before obtaining his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Texas A&M School of Dentistry. Prior to becoming a Texan, Dr. Silva lived in Chile, where he obtained a degree in Radiologic Sciences and Medical Technology.

Away from the office, Dr. Silva relishes spending quality time with his wife and two young children as well as riding his mountain bike on local trails.

Dr. Dao is originally from New Jersey. He completed his undergraduate degree at University of California, Los Angeles in 2013 and earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine from Temple University in 2017. Upon completing dental school, he decided to focus on orthodontics and completed specialty residency training at the University of Nevada.

His daily priorities are his amazing patients, the wonderful community in which the practice is established and the enthusiastic team he works with to provide exceptional care.

In his free time, Dr. Dao enjoys golfing, traveling to new locations, long walks with his dogs and spending time with his amazing wife.
