Providing Exceptional Smiles

Our Team

Get to know us

Exceptional smiles and the high level of customer service we provide are only made possible by our fun and experienced Providence Orthodontics team!

Starr
Orthodontic Technician

Starr first became interested in orthodontics thanks to a show she loved as a kid — Braceface — and now she gets to be part of real smile transformations every day. She especially loves seeing patients grow more confident as their treatment progresses.

With family roots in Cuba and Florida, Starr brings a calm but quietly funny energy to the office. She loves snow so much she swears she could live in an igloo, and when she’s not at work, she enjoys photo shoots, watching Courage the Cowardly Dog, and hanging out with her Pomeranian, Sir Poofy. She’s also a big fan of mac and cheese and chocolate milk — simple joys that always make her smile.

Laura
Orthodontic Technician
Laura’s interest in orthodontics began when she had braces in high school and became fascinated by the process of moving teeth. Inspired by her own smile transformation, she pursued a career in dentistry and earned her Associate of Science degree in Dental Hygiene from Bristol Community College.

Originally from Somerset, Massachusetts, Laura enjoys reading, puzzles, camping, skiing, and spending time at the beach. She loves visiting family in Maine, spending time with her dog Winston, and supporting her daughter, who will be attending Rhode Island College.

Laura’s favorite part of her job is helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles and being part of their orthodontic journey.

Nova
Orthodontic Technician
Nova loves that orthodontics gives him the chance to get to know patients and hear their stories. He enjoys helping create a positive experience while learning about the people behind every smile, and his fun personality helps put patients at ease along the way.
A Rhode Island native who grew up in Cranston, Nova enjoys spending his free time outdoors, whether that’s relaxing at the beach or exploring local trails and wilderness walks. He also has a serious sweet tooth and is always happy to indulge in a good dessert.
When he’s not at the office, you’ll likely find him reading—his favorite book is The Institute by Stephen King—or spending time with his dog, Bruno, and his cat, Bob.

Bryanna
Scheduling Coordinator

Bryanna was born and raised in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and worked in several areas of the medical field before joining Providence Orthodontics. She loves learning new things whenever she gets the chance and enjoys helping patients feel confident about their smiles. Others would describe her as curious, enthusiastic, adaptable, and willing.

Outside the office, Bryanna enjoys reading, all kinds of pasta, and the occasional Oreo McFlurry. She hopes to visit Puerto Rico for the first time someday and is a fan of Friends and The Notebook. Her biggest sources of joy are her 4-year-old daughter and her 1-year-old German Shepherd.

Robin
Office Manager

Robin has been working in the orthodontic field for over 45 years! She oversees the practice as the Office Manager, using her vast experience having worked in both the clinical and administrative departments. Robin is a “people person” who loves to connect with our patients and parents. Although she is Italian, she hates tomatoes and enjoys letting her husband do most of the cooking. Her favorite pastimes include being Nana to her two grandsons and going to the beach, preferably in the Caribbean!

Lara

A bit of a “foodie,” Lara likes to try new restaurants and her favorite ice cream flavor is Graham Central Station. In her free time, she likes to watch movies and one day plans to travel the world.

From the first visit to each one I’ve had thus far, the service has always been wonderful! I’m currently in the process of completing Invisalign with them and would not have chosen any other office. Everyone is extremely helpful, welcoming and informative about the process. I would recommend 100%

I had an awesome experience! Dr. Collins and her fabulous team were so supportive of my second orthodontic journey. I didn’t wear my retainers regularly decades ago. Dr. Collins and her team helped me get my smile back! I promise to wear my retainer this time around!
Response from the owner:What an incredible and inspiring review! We are so proud to have supported you on your second orthodontic journey and absolutely love hearing how Dr. Collins and her team helped you get your beautiful smile back. We appreciate your fun promise to wear your retainers this time around, and we look forward to seeing you at your future retainer checks to keep that smile perfectly in place!
Tom M.
I don't typically write many reviews, but felt compelled to write a long overdue review of Providence Orthodontics. My situation was coming from an adult perspective, as someone who never had orthodontics as a child. I had some stubborn teeth, particularly a bottom tooth. I genuinely can't state enough positive descriptions here about Dr. Collins and every member of her team. As some may be aware, orthodontics is really a long process and a "marathon" not a sprint. I think that is what they excel at is the process of it all; from consultation, adjustments, advice, listening, humor and building a trusted relationship all along the way. I started out with Invisalign and ended up finishing with braces to "get the job done." Dr. Collins really was focused on getting the best outcome for me and if that meant extra time that was okay. In a job that could easily become a "number" in, Dr. Collins makes you feel like you are the only patient she is seeing that day. My recommendation to adult patients is that part of the job of orthodontics is on "you" as the part of the process- meaning you need to follow the process and not being inpatient. I am happy I chose Providence Orthodontics and highly recommend them as a "Sure bet" to go with!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Tom, for your wonderful feedback! It’s gratifying to hear how Dr. Collins and our team provided you with personalized care throughout your orthodontic journey. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
