Our Mission
At Ciao Smiles, each child/person is unique and we develop truly personalized supportive care for them as our patients.
The teeth, the mouth, and its surrounding structures play very important roles in overall function and health of the entire body. Our experienced doctors are trained to identify subtle signs or imbalances in growing children, and we provide advanced treatments through holistic solutions.
Our Philosophy
The human body is a functional unit.
Structure and function are reciprocal and interrelated.
The body has the inherent capacity to heal itself.
Our colleagues and our dentists work together to serve a sole purpose: supporting our patient’s well-being and healing journey.
Born in South Korea, Dr. Moy came to the U.S. during the early 1990s after finishing her doctorate degree in dentistry and hospital residency in Korea. Over her more than 30 years of practicing general dentistry, orthodontics, and treating TMJ disorder for all age groups, Dr. Moy observed that many adults with these problems also suffered from other chronic health issues, which started in their early childhood. She wanted to know the root cause of these dental and orthodontic problems, and was determined to find solutions for preventing and treating them using an integrated, holistic approach. Dr. Moy is dedicated to ongoing education and she loves to travel, cook with family, spend time in nature, and enjoys music.

Dr. Nakako Uritani is a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. She believes the combination of pediatric dentistry and ALF Therapy is very powerful in treating each child as a whole. Her lifelong interest in healthy living and nutrition has always driven her to find supportive and natural ways to create a foundation of health. Dr. Nakako’s patients and her own kids have been her best teachers. She has trained in many healing modalities and therapies, and incorporates them into treating each patient. In particular, cranial osteopathy and yoga have greatly shaped how she approaches dental and orthodontic issues in a holistic and integrated manner. She takes a simple, common-sense, whole body approach for each individual child to establish a lifetime of oral health. She loves playing in the ocean, reading, hiking, and being outdoors with her husband and two children. She is fluent in Japanese.
