Jenna Katz Schwibner, DMD, FAGD

As a dentist and owner of Dental Partners of Vero Beach, Jenna Katz Schwibner, DMD, FAGD has always strived to provide what she refers to as “Complete Dental Care” by adapting treatments and techniques that align with the latest breakthroughs in medicine and technology.

Her areas of expertise center around the relationship between oral and total-body health through Airway Health-Focused Dentistry. This forms the foundation of her General, Cosmetic, Implant and Orthodontic treatments. Known by her patients as Dr. Jenna, she is one of the only dentists in the Treasure Coast providing sleep disordered breathing management for patients of all ages. Her passion lies in diagnosing and helping individuals with obstructive airways, preventing long term illnesses, and making a difference through life changing treatments.

Her commitment to education is reflected in the completion of more than 800 hours of continuing education within just her first 10 years of professional practice and obtaining the prestigious Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) designation. She continuously attends advanced seminars, conferences and academic programs and has had the honor of studying under the late Dr. Peter Dawson. She continues to participate as a graduate and current Ambassador for the Dawson Academy, where she then met and was inspired by Dr. Ben Miraglia, founder of Airway Health Solutions. Dr. Miraglia’s mentorship is what transformed her overall approach to adult dentistry, and a non-surgical orthodontic philosophy clinically proven to further children’s growth and development led to the opening of Dental Buddies of Vero Beach for her pediatric patients.

As a top provider in her field Dr. Jenna has worked extensively with her patients, educating and providing solutions to correct airway and sleep disordered breathing issues which often result in additional health ailments in adults and a wide range of developmental delays in children.  She has spoken and presented on this topic to colleagues and healthcare professionals locally, nationwide and abroad.

A native of Vero Beach, she attended St. Edwards School before receiving her International Baccalaureate degree from Sebastian River High School.  She went on to complete her undergraduate studies at Vanderbilt University before graduating at the top of her class from Nova Southeastern University’s College of Dental Medicine with a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. Dr. Jenna resides in Vero Beach with her husband, Jeremy, their sons, Ari and Eli, daughter, Madelyn, and golden retriever, Leo. While away from the office Dr. Jenna is always on the go.  She coaches lacrosse teams and loves spending time having fun with her family and friends cooking, entertaining and traveling.
