Dr. Petrica Rouse, DDS, MHS, FAGD

Dr. Petrica Rouse, the new owner of All Smiles of the Finger Lakes, is honored to continue the legacy of patient-centered care established by Dr. Erin McTernan. Dr. Rouse extends her heartfelt gratitude to Dr. McTernan for her invaluable contributions to the community and the compassionate care she provided, which laid a strong foundation for the practice. She wishes Dr. McTernan all the best in her future endeavors.

Dr. Rouse’s academic journey began at Cornell University, where she earned her undergraduate degree. She then pursued a Master’s degree at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health before receiving her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the New York University School of Dentistry. During her residency at Bronx Lebanon Hospital, she gained advanced training in implant restoration, surgical extractions, endodontics, and cosmetic dentistry. Committed to continuous learning, Dr. Rouse also completed the Implant MaxiCourse and holds an Invisalign certification, along with earning her Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD).
