Essential Dental Repairs was founded in 2020 by Angelica and Vinnie Braithwaite, a father-daughter duo. Together, they set out to build a business rooted in quality, honesty, and personal service. 

Before Essential Dental ever opened its doors, Vinnie and Angelica already shared a bond built around tools, hard work, and spending time together. They we're just a typical father daughter duo, spending their weekends practicing taking door knobs on and off. (There's a funny story behind that, ask Angelica and she'll tell you!) Those moments weren't just childhood memories, they were the start to something bigger. In 2020, Angelica and Vinnie turned their bond into a business, combining Vinnie's 20+ years of experience and Angelica's drive and fresh perspective, to build Essential Dental.

In 2024, Vinnie passed away after a year long battle with cancer. Though he is no longer here to answer the phone and chit chat, everything that Angelica and Vinnie built remains the heart of Essential Dental. 

"We built this business from the ground up, side by sided. What started as a shared goal between my dad and I has become something I am proud to represent every day. I take great pride in carrying on his legacy and I look foward to working with every office that puts their trust in me and us."
