Since founding First City Dental in 1998, Dr. Painter has anchored his practice on the belief that genuine connection and comfortable care are the keys to a confident, lasting smile. He is passionately dedicated to dentistry and treats every patient like family, living by the motto he instilled in the practice: making the world a better place, one smile at a time! This philosophy ensures that every patient comes in as a stranger and leaves as a friend. Dr. Painter’s commitment to providing lasting dental solutions is built upon a strong educational foundation. He earned his undergraduate degree from California State University in Los Angeles before obtaining his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the Medical College of Virginia. Furthering his expertise and embodying the spirit of continuous growth, he completed a rigorous hospital residency at the University of Florida (Go Gators!), ensuring precision and confidence in every procedure. After over 30 years of dedicated practice, Dr. Painter is excited to begin a new chapter at First City Dental. He will be slowing down his clinical hours and will be seen around the office fewer days each week. This transition allows him to enthusiastically welcome a new wave of talented doctors to First City, dedicating more of his time to mentoring, training, and ensuring the future excellence of our team.
