Dr. Banty’s drive to be a dentist comes from her desire to serve people. During a trip to Nicaragua in college, while translating for medical personnel she saw there was a significant need for dentistry that influenced her decision to pursue her dental education. During her time away from the office, she focuses on serving both the local community and abroad. Fluent in Spanish, she recently moved to the east coast from the Ventura County area of California where her focus was on treating the underserved, spanish-speaking populations in that community.

“I love my work because I have the opportunity to help patients both at home and abroad. Each year I look forward to dental mission trips across South and Central America. It’s very fulfilling work, and it’s something I hope to continue for years to come.” says Dr. Banty. She also looks forward to participating each year in ‘Give Kids a Smile Day’ and ‘Dental Access Day’.

In addition to her love for dentistry, Dr. Banty enjoys teaching fitness classes in the Cambridge area and surfing the east coast waves during her free time.
