Dr. Charris Allen is a Delaware native and graduate of Rutgers School of Dental Medicine where she excelled as a member of the Dean’s list and won multiple scholarships. Following Dental school Dr. Allen completed her residency at Christiana Care Wilmington Hospital.

Dr. Allen’s Approach as a Delaware Dentist

“I loved being a dental assistant and providing patients with a sense of comfort and ease while receiving dental treatment. Now I am excited to be welcomed back by my Smile Brite family to help educate and treat patients firsthand. The oral cavity can be a vulnerable area, and it is my hope to give patients a positive dental experience.”
