Welcome to HarborView Dental

About Us

At HarborView Dental, we believe that dentistry should feel personal—not corporate. That’s why we’ve built a practice that puts comfort, connection, and honesty first. Led by Dr. Rita Snyder, our team is here to create a safe, modern space where you feel cared for and empowered to smile with confidence.

Get to Know the Heart Behind the Practice

Meet Dr. Rita Snyder, DMD

Born and raised in Cairo, Egypt, Dr. Rita Snyder’s passion for dentistry started early, tagging along with her mom (a dental office manager) and marveling at the giant fish tank in the waiting room. Those visits sparked a lifelong dream of creating a dental practice that felt calm, welcoming, and truly patient-first.

Dr. Snyder moved to Florida and went on to earn her Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences from the University of North Florida. She later earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from LECOM, where she developed a special interest in cosmetic dentistry and root canal therapy—two areas that allow her to combine precision with transformation.

As a dentist, Dr. Snyder’s philosophy is simple: treat every patient like she would treat her own family. She’s not interested in upselling treatment or rushing through appointments. Instead, she takes the time to explain your options, answer your questions, and help you make confident decisions about your care.

Patients appreciate her honest, no-pressure approach, especially when it comes to cosmetic care. Whether you’re here for Botox, veneers, or a complete smile makeover, you’ll always receive recommendations that prioritize your goals and lifestyle.

Outside of the office, Dr. Snyder is a proud mom of four. When she’s not caring for patients, you can find her relaxing poolside, planning her next travel adventure, or dreaming of Cassis, a small town in the south of France that stole her heart.
