Carmen Rivera Muniz
CDA
I was born in Puerto Rico and raised in both Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Puerto Rico. I am a proud former Army service member and pursued my education at Fayetteville Technical Community College, where I became a certified dental assistant in 1991. I have been working in the dental field ever since.
I genuinely love interacting with patients, helping them achieve the smile they desire, and always strive to answer all of their questions to the best of my ability.
As a mother of two young men, ages 30 and 22, I understand the importance of care and support. I enjoy working one-on-one with patients, addressing their concerns, and always being there for them.

Front Desk Admin
Born in Seville Spain on a military base. Arrived home in Hillsborough North Carolina. I received training at Duke Surgical PDC and moved into the dental field in 1998. I love helping patients from start to finish with their dental needs whether it be just a calm voice when they arrive or helping decide insurance coverage for future treatment. My motto has always been leave them better than I find them. My mom always said
"kill them with kindness son" treat everyone like family. Diehard Tarheel fan. My girlfriend and I love live music and we follow many triangle bands.
