About
Founder’s
Story
“I cannot count how many people came to me after being lied to by their dentist. Year after year, I kept hearing the same version of the story, and one day I decided to launch NOVO. I wanted to create a place where trust is the foundational pillar of society, and of how we do business. I wanted to show people that it’s possible to have a dentist you can trust, a dentist that has your best interest at heart. NOVO, a new way of caring for patients.”
- Dr. Ribeiro
