Dr. Waibel’s meticulous nature and attention to detail is translated into everything she does, and her philosophy is shared by all of her team members. We guarantee that you will be treated with the utmost care during every visit. So sit back and relax while we transform your view of dentistry and your smile at Nova Cosmetic Dentistry.
Dr. Waibel was born and raised in Russia, where, from the age of six, she competed in local and international English-language competitions, receiving multiple first-place awards and recognitions, sparking her desire to one day live in an English-speaking country. As she was growing up, she had to wear a retainer to correct an overbite. When her dentist handed her a mirror at the end of her treatment, she was overwhelmed with emotion, and from that moment on, she knew that she wanted to give that same feeling to others.
Dr. Waibel got her opportunity to realize her dream and move to the United States at the age of 20, while working on a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism and Hospitality. Wasting no time at all, she was enrolled at Temple University on her journey to a career in dentistry within three months of her arrival to Philadelphia. Dr. Waibel’s passion for dentistry and dedicated work ethic allowed her to flourish and graduate a year early while more than doubling the graduation requirements. To this day, she continues her education, learning from some of the most renowned and innovative names in dentistry to ensure her patients always receive the most advanced and effective treatment possible.
When Dr. Waibel isn’t practicing dentistry, she is spending time with her two children, Mark and Leo. A self-proclaimed foodie, she loves cooking and trying new restaurants, then hitting a game of tennis or paddleball.

Dr. Cepeda was born and raised in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania where she still currently lives with her husband, adorable 2 children, and their beloved Maine Coon cats, Beaux and Prince.
She comes from a long line of dentists including her mom, grandmother and great grandmother- you can say dentistry is in her DNA! From a young age, Dr. Cepeda would practice dentistry on her stuffed animals in her mom’s clinic chair, and always knew dentistry is what she wanted to do.
With her mom as her mentor, Dr. Cepeda earned her Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry degree (DMD) from Temple University’s Kornberg School of Dentistry where she finished top of her class. One of her favorite moments from dental school was learning that she passed all her board exams while she was 9.5 months pregnant! She prides herself on her compassion and dedication to her patients.
When not practicing dentistry, Dr. Cepeda loves spending time with her family. She enjoys playing tennis and taking an Orange Theory class. She also has a sweet tooth and will never say no to dessert before dinner!
Originally from Bucks County, she has always called Pennsylvania her home. Allie completed a dental assisting program at Middle Bucks Institute of Technology and shortly after received her radiology license. Working in a dental field for almost a decade as a dental assistant she decided to take on a challenge at Nova Cosmetic Dentistry and become a Front Office Coordinator. That gives her an opportunity to communicate even more with the patients, build strong relationships with our local families and learn a whole new side of a dental practice. Allie loves the hard work and passion that’s involved in her profession, as well as the people she works with. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her husband, their new puppy Oliver and her large family, going to the beach and snowboarding.
Lisa was born and raised in South Jersey but have been a South Philadelphia resident for over 20 years. She is moving out to the suburbs of Lansdale so her 3 children have more room to play. She has been a hygienist for 13 years and love helping people understand dentistry based on their needs. Prior to having kids, Lisa would enjoy a nice round of golf on her free time. After having kids.. let’s face it, there was no free time. Now she is looking forward to enjoying a better life-work balance which is why an opportunity to join the Nova Team was one Lisa could not pass up. The fact that her younger daughter is named Nova too was just a sign she was meant to work with possibly the best dental team in the suburbs.

Prior to earning her RDH (registered dental hygienist) license and graduating from Harcum College Yulia was a dental assistant for two years and has been in the dental field for over 9 years. Enthusiastic about dental health, Yulia provides patients with exceptional care and educates them on oral home care and hygiene. Having a healthy beautiful smile is what she strives for in all patients while accommodating their individual needs. When not working, Yulia enjoys spending time with her family, doing yoga and pilates classes, riding a bike, skiing, hiking and exploring new places.
Amanda graduated from the Bucks County Technical High School in 2014. She has been in the dentistry field for over 6 years now and enjoys helping patients and the passion that comes with the dental field. She loves to spend time with her husband, family, and friends. Amanda also enjoys going to the beach and traveling whenever she can.
"I believe in a quality-driven approach - from our warm and friendly team to the finest master ceramists in the Philadelphia area -- we are here for the long-lasting relationships. And that is what’s most important to me."
At Nova Cosmetic Dentistry, we believe that your comfort should begin the moment you step through our doors. Dr. Waibel personally designed her office with her patients in mind, ensuring modern comforts and amenities are available to all.
Our office is flooded with natural light and inviting colors, with an aesthetic so pleasing you might have to Instagram it! But looks aren't everything- We are equipped with a complimentary refreshment station complete with beverages, herbal teas, and healthy snacks. Plus, our coffee lovers are welcome to enjoy a foamy cappuccino made with freshly ground beans from a local coffee shop.
A portion of our proceeds will go towards the educational non-profit organization Welcoming the Stranger. This organization offers free English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, computer classes, and United States citizenship exam preparation to adult immigrants and refugees in the Philadelphia metro region.
Dr. Waibel’s own story of immigration to the United States from Russia is just one example of a dream coming true, and we want to help others realize their own goals and aspirations.
