Dr. Anastasia Talalenko, DMD

Dr. Talalenko is a second generation immigrant, whose parent’s pursuit for the American Dream molded her into the hard working individual she is today. Her mother and father were originally from the Soviet Union, and moved to America with the hopes of attaining a better life. Dr. Talalenko watched her mother go back to dental school in the United States, and later watched her mother and father build their own dream dental practice in Naples, Florida, where Dr. Talalenko was raised. Growing up, Dr. Talalenko played golf competitively and balanced her studies to become a dentist. Her dedication paid off when she was admitted into Nova Southeastern University’s Dual Admissions 3+4 program in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on a full undergraduate scholarship. She was then accepted into Nova Southeastern’s dental program, and achieved her DMD degree.
