About Dental Arts
Who We Are
Dental Arts is a Florida-based, doctor-led dental group focused on long-term patient care. We are locally operated with central support that enables each office to maintain the intimate feel of a small private practice while leveraging the structure and capabilities of a larger organization.
Our Origin Story
Dental Arts was founded in 2015 by Dr. Cecilia Sorelle, a practicing dentist and U.S. Navy veteran, together with her husband Andrew Crouch. We were built office-by-office, not acquired en masse. Our focus has always been on systems, training, and continuity of care.
After serving as a dentist in the Navy, reaching the rank of Commander, Dr. Sorelle transitioned to private practice. Together with Andrew, they started with one practice in New York, learning firsthand what it takes to build a successful office that delivers ideal, comprehensive care in a setting that both patients and staff love.
In 2017, Dr. Sorelle became pregnant with their first child, Oliver, and they moved to Florida to be closer to family. Drawing on their experience in New York, they began opening offices in Florida, starting with St. Pete Beach in 2018. Their son Oliver was with them during the opening. Each office undergoes careful renovation, receives new equipment, and benefits from comprehensive staff training. This methodical approach ensures quality and continuity.
What We Believe
We see that dentistry is very personal and very local. We didn't want a massive operation—we want family-first, hyper-local smaller practices where staff know you and stay with you. Our view is ideal, comprehensive care so that you have a smile you are proud of for your entire life.
Our philosophy guides everything we do:
- Continuity of care matters—we build long-term relationships with our patients
- Doctors own clinical decisions—clinical autonomy is fundamental
- Long-term teams beat churn—we invest in our people
- Patient relationships outlast transactions—we're here for the long haul
We maintain the intimate feel of a small private practice, where you're seen at your appointment time in a relaxed, friendly environment. Our team listens to your concerns and answers your questions. Our team is knowledgeable and caring, with an emphasis on delivering the highest quality results. Each office is equipped with modern technology, motivated and well-trained staff, and a steady flow of patients who choose us based on great outcomes and exceptional experiences.
We've built Dental Arts to be a place we would confidently recommend to our own parents and grandparents—a place where trust, respect, and exceptional care come first.
Growth & Acquisitions
When we grow, we do so thoughtfully. We preserve legacy practices, integrating them carefully while maintaining care teams and patient relationships. Our goal is to strengthen what's already working, not replace it.
We believe in preserving the culture and relationships that make each practice special, while providing the support, resources, and systems that help practices thrive for the long term.
Today & Looking Forward
Today, Dental Arts has 5 offices in Pinellas County, including St. Pete Beach, Seminole, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and Tyrone. Each location follows the model established from the beginning: intimate private practice settings where patient care and customer service are paramount.
We continue to be family owned and run by Dr. Sorelle and Andrew. Our focus remains on ideal, comprehensive care in modern, technology-focused offices. We invest in our team's growth and development because when our staff thrive, our patients receive better care.
Our goal: to have 100% healthy patients. Every person who walks through our doors should leave free of disease, with a full complement of teeth and a smile they are proud of.
