Our Mission & Goals
Raniue Family Dental’s mission is to serve our patients to achieve their best and healthiest smiles by providing effective dental solutions. We impact the lives of our team professionally, personally, and financially.
We believe smiling should be simple. Our goal is to make you feel confident in your smile by restoring or maintaining health and improving appearances so you can smile freely. Sometimes a simple change to your daily care routine or smile restoration can make a big impact. Our team can help customize solutions that enhance your daily efforts, often turning frustration into smiles at the healthy changes that occur.
As a team we focus on preventive dentistry to help prevent future problems, this will reduce you having to break the bank for major dental procedures!
Our team partners with you to create a preventive care plan that fits your lifestyle. At-home care is an important component of total oral health and our team will work with you to establish a routine and recommend products to enhance your experience and care. Enhance your daily oral health care routine and turn frustration into smiles!
Nutritional counseling is part of our preventive care because what you eat plays a critical role in oral health. Acidic foods and drinks can accelerate deterioration of your teeth, and certain foods can enhance the health of your supporting jawbone and gums. Our team believes in bringing your efforts and ours into balance for optimum health.
Paired with at-home care, regular dental exams and cleanings are necessary to prevent decay and gum disease. This proactive approach can prevent minor issues from becoming major procedures.
Meet Our Doctors
Dr. Ranola I General Dentist
Growing up in Guam, Dr. Ranola didn’t have access to the same quality of preventive dentistry available in the United States. As a result, she experienced several dental problems. She decided to become a dentist to help prevent children and families from suffering the same oral health issues.
After receiving her undergraduate degree from the University of Washington, Dr. Ranola relocated to Florida, where she completed dental school at Nova Southeastern University in 2005. It didn’t take long for Dr. Ranola to return to Washington, intent on establishing a practice and building her family. In 2008, she opened Ranieu Family Dental here in Vancouver.
Dr. Ranola is committed to continuing education and takes several advanced courses each year that enhance her skill and knowledge to better serve patient needs.
In her spare time, Dr. Ranola, her husband, Tai, and their young daughter frequently travel to Jamaica with Zion International Care to provide health services to at-risk and disadvantaged residents. As an active family, the three frequently participate in local 5K runs.
