Meet The Dentists

When Dr. Alejandro Nieves and Dr. Bhavya Paranthaman first visited Panama City, they knew they’d found something special. The coastal community, welcoming neighbors, and genuine warmth of the Panhandle made their decision easy: this would be home. Now, as the team behind Marina Pointe Dental, they’re building the kind of practice they always envisioned, one where patients feel genuinely cared for and relationships matter more than rushing through appointments.

In 2024, they purchased the established practice from Dr. Cindy C. Moore, DMD, who had spent over four decades caring for Panama City families. It was an honor to take over such a trusted practice, and they’ve worked hard to preserve that legacy while adding their own vision. They renamed it Marina Pointe Dental, a nod to the beautiful seaside location near St. Andrews Marina that reflects both the practice’s setting and their fresh approach to dentistry. For patients who’ve been coming here for years, you’ll notice the same commitment to quality care. For new patients just discovering us, welcome to a practice where modern techniques meet old-fashioned relationship building, and where your dental health is guided by doctors who genuinely care about you and your family.
