Dr. Alexis Oristian (oh-wrist-chin) decided to make Richmond her home after receiving her dental degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2009. Dentistry is in her blood. Her father is a periodontist in Virginia Beach and her sister is also a general dentist at the beach as well. Dr. Oristian grew up an Army brat and joined the Air Force after graduating from the United States Air Force Academy in 2002. She has lived all over the country and also in Belgium. She met her husband at her first assignment, Hanscom AFB in Boston Massachusetts. They have recently welcomed their first child into the world.
Dr. Oristian really enjoys helping people love their smile. Whether it’s fine-tuning cosmetic work, replacing missing teeth with implants, or removing broken or infected teeth; she wants to make patients happy and comfortable. She is a part of the American Dental Association, the Virginia Dental Association and the Richmond Dental Society. She enjoys working with Dr. Baxter Perkinson and loves the atmosphere with the Perkinson dental team.
She was an NCAA division I All Conference swimmer during her four years at the Academy. She is currently an avid runner and triathlete. Dr. Oristian loves animals and doing stuff outdoors.
