Dr. Abigail (Abby) Romano never appreciated how privileged she was to have a father as a dentist until a close family member was diagnosed with oral cancer during a routine dental checkup. Thankfully, they are now cancer free, but that was the moment when she realized how important dentistry is to her.

Following in her father’s footsteps, Dr. Romano graduated from University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine with the class of 2023. She then completed her residency at St. Joseph’s Health in Syracuse. Dr. Romano enjoys the variety of procedures that general dentistry allows her to do, including prosthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery and implant dentistry. Her dream is to have a long-lasting career with an emphasis on educating people, in her own community and worldwide, about the importance of oral health. Dr. Romano strives to treat every patient with compassion and respect, to help create a smile that brings them confidence and improved overall health.

Outside of the dental office in her free time, Dr. Romano coaches softball and enjoys traveling, discovering unique cultures and cuisines at each new destination. As a Liverpool native, Dr. Romano is thrilled to begin her career at Summit Dental Group.
