A Doctor Who Truly Cares

Dr. Stephanie Mazariegos grew up in Guatemala with a dream of helping people feel confident in their own skin. That dream led her to the United States, where she earned her Doctor of Medical Dentistry degree from LECOM School of Dental Medicine — proudly part of the school's inaugural graduating class.

After 10 years refining her craft across Tampa Bay, she took the ultimate leap — building Elevate Smiles Dental from the ground up, brick by brick. That photo isn't a metaphor. She was there on the construction site, watching her vision become reality. The practice opened its doors in July 2024 in the heart of Hyde Park.

"I believe every patient deserves to understand their oral health and feel empowered to make the best decisions for their smile. My goal is to be a partner in that journey — not just a provider."

— Dr. Stephanie Mazariegos, DMD

Her specialties span Invisalign® (Gold Provider), dental implants, and cosmetic dentistry, alongside comprehensive general care. Whether it's a child's first checkup or a full smile makeover, every patient receives her full attention and a personalized treatment plan built around their goals.
