Meet Our Dental Team

Our staff include associate dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and support personnel, all of whom are highly skilled and caring professionals. Each has had superior formal education and in office training here. All staff stay current with the latest in prevention and treatment through continuing education.

Lisa (Treatment Coordinator)

Since 1999, Lisa has been a critical part of our team. She worked alongside Dr. Ferrera before moving to Alabama. A few short years later, she returned to New Tampa and has been with us since!

Lisa possesses over twenty-five years of experience in the dental field, twenty of which were on the clinical side as a dental assistant. She has many duties but is primarily responsible for scheduling and outlining treatment plans, discussing payment options, as well as following up with the care of our patients.

Because of her extensive background and knowledge in the dental field, Lisa is invaluable asset and can answer any question our patients may have.

Outside of the office, she enjoys spending time with her husband and being a grandmother.

Marie (Dental Hygienist)

Marie has been a dental hygienist with Ferrera Dental Care since 2002. Her primary role is to educate patients on how to improve their oral health, as well as providing active periodontal therapy.

With over thirty years of experience, Marie is an expert in giving patients the most up to date care possible.

When she is not caring for our patients, she enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time with her grandchildren.

She has spent twenty-five years homeschooling all four of her daughters and we consider Marie our little book of knowledge.

Diantha (Dental Hygienist)

Diantha, born in Connecticut, spent most of her life outside of New Tampa in Tarpon Springs.

She graduated from Pasco Hernando State College in 1998 after spending many years working as an Orthodontic assistant and managing the front desk for a local dental office. This is where she found her passion for hygiene and has spent the last 21 years providing care to each person she meets.

Diantha has been with Dr. Ferrera since 2011 and truly strives to make people with previous negative feelings of dentistry more comfortable and happier.

She dedicates time each year to volunteer for many organizations to give back to the community and we are lucky to have her on our team! She enjoys the outdoors, staying active, and spending time with her grandchildren.

Tusdai (Dental Assistant)

Tusdai, a native of Georgia, moved to Florida in 2013 after receiving her dental assisting certificate from West Georgia Tech. She has always been passionate about the dental field and truly loves what she does.

Tusdai joined our team in 2018 and is happy to have found her new dental home being Dr. Ferrera’s right hand.

She has been happily married for four years and enjoys exercising and singing.
