Meet Our Orthodontists
Vincent Graves, DDS
Dr. Vincent Graves became an orthodontist to connect with others, positively impact their lives and self-esteem, and treat the whole patient, not just their smile. His favorite part about working with children is their fun and creative nature. Dr. Graves served on dental mission trips to Sierra Madre Sur in Guerrero, Mexico, with the non-profit dental organization El Niño Rey.
Dr. Graves enjoys waterskiing, snow skiing, hiking, cooking, and fitness in his free time. He loves studying different languages, and his favorite place to travel is the lake or beach. Dr. Graves’ favorite foods are tacos al pastor, Cobb salad, and baked rigatoni with Italian sausage.

Mohamed El Naga, BDS, MS, CAGS
Dr. Mohamed El Naga’s passion for orthodontics began when he was young. His older sister, an orthodontist in Egypt, inspired him to follow in her footsteps. He received his Bachelor’s in Dental Sciences from Cairo University and completed his residency in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics at the Georgia School of Orthodontics. He believes that the most rewarding part of being an orthodontist is leaving a lasting impact on his patients, giving them confidence and adding happiness to their lives.
Outside of work, Dr. El Naga and his wife enjoy discovering new restaurants, watching movies and sports, and spending time with family and friends. He is also an extreme sports enthusiast, so you might find him bungee-jumping, skydiving, or paragliding for fun.
