Dr. Lana Waibel

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. Sasha cepeda

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!

Lisa Kong

Dental HygienisT RDH

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.

Dr Lana was so kind and thoughtful with me. She explained everything she was doing and wanted to do. She took her time to make me feel comfortable (I have always been afraid of the dentist).
