About Joanna El-Maasri, DMD

I grew up here in San Marcos and moved home after finishing my residency. This community has always been a big part of my life; it has given me to the opportunity to become who I am. I want to make sure that all the children and citizens of San Marcos have that same opportunity. I became a dentist because I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. Giving someone a healthy mouth and body, and a reason to smile with confidence, is extremely rewarding. As a dentist, I’m able to truly help people. Getting someone out of dental pain, restoring function, and creating an even more beautiful smile, are all part of a day’s work for me. General dentistry offers me diverse challenges and opportunities. I meet so many incredible people in our practice and am able to build lasting relationships with each of them. I especially enjoy caring for multiple generations of a whole family, from the children through the grandparents. We have wonderful conversations, laughing and learning together. I cannot imagine a more fulfilling profession. I participate in many hours of continuing dental education every year. This ensures I’m able to provide my patients with the latest advancements in dentistry. It also allows me to offer comprehensive care to my patients, so they don’t have to be referred out to specialists. I’ve studied laser and implant dentistry, as well as Invisalign® orthodontic treatment. I met my husband, Dr. Constantine Reppas, in dental school. We were married after finishing our residencies. We’re now partners in San Marcos Family Dental and I love working with him. I’m thankful to have returned to San Marcos and look forward to raising our children here. When I’m not in the office you’ll find me spending time with my family. We’re often sitting around the dinner table, sharing a feast and enjoying the wonderful company.
