We are proud to introduce Dr. Manhal Yazji, DDS, the founder and clinical director of our practice. With over four decades of experience in dentistry, Dr. Yazji is dedicated to delivering high-quality, compassionate care in a welcoming environment for patients of all ages.

Dr. Yazji specializes in esthetic and restorative dentistry, comprehensive orthodontic treatment for children and adults, and all phases of implant dentistry. His approach combines clinical expertise with an eye for detail, helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles through personalized care.

He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Damascus University in 1981. In 1996, he was recognized as a Life Diplomate of the International Association for Orthodontics (IAO)—a prestigious distinction reflecting his commitment to excellence in orthodontic care. He also serves as an Associate Instructor in Orthodontics with the IAO, where he has trained general and pediatric dentists in advanced orthodontic techniques.

Since founding Yazji Dentistry, formerly known as Regency Dental, in 1994, Dr. Yazji has played a vital role in shaping the practice's mission and clinical standards. As both owner and clinical director, he brings decades of leadership, innovation, and patient-centered care to every aspect of the office. Dr. Yazji is a proud member of the American Dental Association (ADA), Florida Dental Association (FDA), South District Dental Association, Treasure Coast Dental Society, and the International Association for Orthodontics.

In addition to his clinical expertise, Dr. Yazji is fluent in five languages—English, Arabic, French, Spanish, and Creole—which allows him to connect with a diverse patient population and make everyone feel at home. When he's not in the office, Dr. Yazji enjoys an active lifestyle that includes equestrian show jumping, racquetball, tennis, and biking. He is happily married and a proud father of three, and he cherishes time spent with his family.

Dr. Yazji is especially excited to welcome his daughter, Dr. Dounia Yazji, to the practice—fulfilling a lifelong dream of working together to serve the community through dentistry.

You're welcome to call her Dr. D (especially if "Dounia" isn't easy to remember!). A fun fact: her name means "the world" in Arabic—reflecting both her vibrant personality and her desire to make a positive impact on those around her.

Dr. Dounia earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, graduating in May of 2025. Ranked as the #1 dental school in the United States and globally by QS World University Rankings, the University of Michigan provides world-class clinical training, cutting-edge research opportunities, and a strong foundation in evidence-based care. Dr. Dounia is proud to bring this high standard of education to her practice at Yazji Dentistry. Before dental school, she completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Florida, earning a Bachelor's degree in Nutritional Sciences with a minor in Health Disparities.

From a young age, Dr. Dounia was inspired by her father's dedication to dentistry and knew she wanted to follow in his footsteps. Today, her dream of working alongside him has come true—and together, they are dedicated to providing exceptional dental care to our community. Outside the office, Dr. Dounia enjoys playing the piano, biking, trying new restaurants, spending time at the beach, reading, and connecting with family and friends. She looks forward to meeting you and helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile.
