Education & Experience
Dr. Joseph Ramellini, DMD
Dr. Joseph Ramellini, DMD, brings comprehensive, unhurried dental care to Peak Dentistry alongside his wife and practice partner, Dr. Gabrielle Ramellini.
Our Story
Drs. Joseph and Gabrielle Ramellini met at UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental School (now Rutgers School of Dental Medicine) in 1995, and were married before their senior year at Gabrielle's mother's bed and breakfast in Asheville.
Both doctors received a Health Professions Scholarship from the US Air Force and were accepted into the competitive one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry program at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. After two more years of service at Cannon Air Force Base in Clovis, New Mexico, they returned to the East Coast and practiced in rural southern Maryland for fourteen years.
In 2016, the Ramellinis moved their family to the mountains of western North Carolina, taking over the unique Clyde practice of the retiring Dr. Darryl Nabors. Joseph and Gabrielle practice all facets of dental care in a truly comprehensive manner, and both continually exceed their continuing education requirements to stay current with modern dentistry. They are members of the International Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Toxicology, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the American Dental Association.
Outside the office, Dr. Joseph enjoys training with his two older children in the martial art of Han Mu Do and spending time with his family outdoors — especially skiing and, more recently, SCUBA diving. He also likes to read, run, bike, and swim.

I met both doctors, and both were friendly and courteous. Dr. Ramellini (wife) will be doing my dental work, and was impressed with her knowledge and intuitive insight.
My appointment was a great experience. Everyone I met was very friendly. Probably the most thorough cleaning and exam I have ever had. I know what problem areas I have and how much it will cost to fix and in what sequence you recommend the repairs.
I was very pleased with the cleaning by Abra. Tammy was very pleasant and helpful. I left feeling very comfortable about the visit.
