Anis Elkhechen, DMD
Dr. Elkhechen grew up in Boca Raton and received both his bachelor's degree and his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from University of Florida in Gainesville.

He completed the implant dentistry continuum as well as the clinical mastery series on cosmetic dentistry and full mouth rehabilitation.
