Meet Dr. Zhanna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dentist in Woodbridge<\/h1>\n\n\n
\n
\"Dr.<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Growing up, Dr. Zhanna was afraid of dentists. She watched her friend struggle after an accident required extensive and painful restoration to her front teeth, and had her own share of negative experiences from a young age. She decided that she wanted to change the stigma around dentistry, and be a doctor that people would look forward to visiting, rather than dread. Her mission in the dental field is to achieve \u201chappy dentistry\u201d: all she wants is to provide her patients with a positive environment where they can achieve their perfect smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education and Continuing Education<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Zhanna received her undergraduate degree in Ukraine, and went on to study at the Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry, where she graduated in 1989. From there, she completed a General Dentistry Residence at the Regional Medical Hospital, where she provided dental care until 1992. She has been on the Academic Council of the Medical University of Sana\u2019a in Yemen, and attended the National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education in Kiev. Most recently, she graduated from VCU in 2023 with her Doctorate of Dental Surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond university education, Dr. Zhanna has continued expanding her dental expertise. While studying in Europe and Western Asia, she attended international exhibitions in Germany, Ukraine, and Dubai until 2014, as well as the SPEARS Training Center in Scottsdale, AZ. She also worked as a teaching assistant in an international dental boot camp from 2020 to 2023. Additional accolades include awards from the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry; the American College of Prosthodontists; and the National Organization for Accomplishments, Clinical Excellence, and Professionalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Dr. Zhanna is a certified Invisalign\u00ae provider, and performs restorative procedures including endodontics, oral surgery, implant procedures, and fixed or removable prosthodontics. She has a passion for full mouth rehabilitation, and stays up to date on the newest dental technology to keep her patients happy and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Zhanna is fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian, and knows spoken Arabic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside the Office<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Zhanna and her husband Adnan reside in Woodbridge, but love to travel whenever they can. Having come from Ukraine, they have traversed Europe and Asia, and still go overseas to visit their son. Dr. Zhanna grew up an avid pianist, and actually wanted to be professional before she decided on medical school! She does not get to play as frequently as she used to, but with 8 years of musical education, it is still a beloved pastime to her. She also enjoys hiking, fitness, yoga, and the ballet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
