Meet Our Team

Paul Mabe, DDS

Dr. Mabe graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry in 1990 and established his private practice in the Midwest, focusing on all aspects of general and cosmetic dentistry for adults and children. He has taken many hands-on intensive continuing education courses over the past several decades, domestically and internationally, to enhance his clinical skills and knowledge. Paul and his family have vacationed seasonally in Naples for more than 20 years. It has been their dream, as their daughters started college, to move to Naples full time and practice dentistry. Dr. Mabe and his wife, Yvette, enjoy working together. Yvette has been a dental hygienist for 30 years.

Serving the underserved around the world has been a hallmark of Dr. Mabe’s professional career. Since 1990, he has traveled to places like Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic, offering thousands of hours of free dentistry to children who live in orphanages and people who would otherwise not be able to afford dental care.

Dr. Mabe and his wife, Yvette, have been married for 30 years. They have two daughters: Lauren, a former D-1 tennis player at Liberty University and recent graduate of the University of Florida Levin College of Law who is currently practicing as a trust and estates lawyer in the Naples area; and Julia, who graduated with a digital media degree from Liberty University and now runs a marketing company. Julia is married to her husband, Tyler, and they live in Charlotte, North Carolina.

David Brown, DDS

We are delighted to welcome Dr. David Brown to our practice! Dr. Brown is a highly skilled and experienced dentist with a deep passion for functional and biological dentistry. His commitment to patient care, precision, and continued learning ensures that every patient receives exceptional, cutting-edge treatment tailored to their needs.

A native of Northwest Oklahoma, Dr. Brown has a remarkable background that sets him apart. Before pursuing dentistry, he worked in carpentry, custom cabinetry and welding, even co-owning a successful welding business with his older brother. Their company specialized in building oil rigs and fabricating vital components for the oilfield industry — an experience that sharpened his attention to detail and craftsmanship, qualities he now applies in dentistry.

Dr. Brown earned his undergraduate degree from Southwestern Oklahoma State University before attending the prestigious University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry, where he graduated with honors. Since then, he has remained dedicated to advancing his expertise, completing extensive continuing education courses in cosmetic dentistry, implant placement and restoration and sleep medicine. He is a distinguished member of the American Dental Association®, the Oklahoma Dental Association and the Florida Dental Association.

After years of successfully owning and growing his private practice in Northwest Oklahoma — where he was known for his compassionate care and exceptional results — Dr. Brown and his wife, Kristie Brown, made the exciting decision to relocate to Florida. Now empty nesters, they have always loved vacationing in Florida and decided to embrace a new adventure where they can enjoy the sunshine, beaches and warm weather year-round.

Dr. Brown is passionate about helping patients achieve optimal oral health and confidence through beautifully restored smiles. “I love helping people get healthy and fulfill their dreams of having beautiful smiles,” he says.

When he’s not in the office, Dr. Brown enjoys spending time with Kristie and their three grown children. Two of their children still reside in Oklahoma, while their youngest daughter is preparing to begin Dental Hygiene School in Naples. He also enjoys woodworking, building custom furniture and flying airplanes — his favorite hobby when time allows.

We are thrilled to have Dr. Brown as part of our team and know that our patients will appreciate his expertise, warm personality and dedication to their health and wellbeing.

Our friendly team of dental professionals is excited to meet you! Our team is highly trained, and gives each patient they meet their full attention to ensure quality care as well as comfort.
