Every day, I have the opportunity to help children on their way to a lifetime of oral health and bright, beautiful smiles. I appreciate having the time to get to know my patients, personally, and take time to build a good doctor-patient relationship.
I like being able to transform a person’s life, by giving them a beautiful smile that boosts their confidence, and I enjoy connecting with the kids and getting them to laugh.
— Dr. Oliver Favalli

Following dental school, Dr. Favalli completed the Baylor University pediatric specialty program. He went on to complete the specialty program in orthodontics at the University of Toronto.
Dr. Favalli’s practice is centered on children, from toddlers through adolescents and young adults. He’s pleased to have an office that provides amenities that make children feel comfortable, and proud to have a staff that has extraordinary skills in working with children.

Beyond the Office
Dr. Favalli and his family — wife Monica, children Luca and Sofia, and their cat, Gallo — reside in Fort Myers. When he’s not creating smiles for patients, Dr. Favalli can most often be found hanging out at the beach with his family.
He does make time for some of his other passions, though: traveling, skiing, art, red wine, and college football!
