A New Chapter at Kians Dental Studio: Meet Dr. Jaquez

If you've been a patient here for years, you already know what makes this practice special: gentle care, honest answers, and a team that remembers your name. That hasn't changed. But something important has — and you deserve to hear it from us directly.

Dr. Steve Wang has retired. After 14 years caring for Winter Haven patients, and building Kians Dental Studio into one of the city's most trusted dental practices since 2017, he's earned every bit of it. And before he left, he did one last thing for his patients: he chose who would take care of you next.

Meet Dr. Yeritza Jaquez Gomez, DDS

Dr. Jaquez isn't a corporate group that bought a practice. She's a dentist Dr. Wang personally trusted with the patients he cared for over the years.

Her credentials speak for themselves: originally from the Dominican Republic, she earned a postgraduate specialty degree in prosthodontics and implant dentistry in Argentina, then completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program at Columbia University, a prestigious Ivy League institution, where she earned her class's Clinical Excellency Award. Her advanced training centers on prosthodontics and dental implants: rebuilding smiles with crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants that look natural and last.

She's also fully bilingual, and treats patients in English and Spanish.

What stays the same

• The location. Same studio at 575 Ave K SE.
• The team. The familiar faces at the front desk and chairside are still here.
• The philosophy. Gentle treatment, honest recommendations, no pressure — the things patients have praised in reviews for years.
• Your records and your recall schedule. Nothing to re-do, nothing to transfer.

What's new

• Expanded restorative treatment options. Complex implant and denture cases that once required a referral across town can now be handled in the same chair as your cleanings.
• Care in Spanish. From the first phone call to the treatment itself — atención completa en español.
• A refreshed practice. New website, easier appointment requests, and more improvements on the way.

A word about trust

Choosing a dentist is personal. When the person who's cared for your family retires, it's fair to wonder whether the practice will still feel like your practice. Dr. Wang's answer was to pick his successor himself — and Dr. Jaquez's answer is simpler still: come meet her.

If you were Dr. Wang's patient, here is everything that stays the same: the same office, the same phone number, and your records right where you left them. Your next cleaning is the easiest way to meet her. Nothing about it will feel unfamiliar — except perhaps how much the new doctor wants to hear your story.
