Helping our patients maintain healthy, beautiful smiles for life

About the Practice
Chad Wright Dentistry has proudly served our community for over 15 years, grounded in a longstanding commitment to excellence and the highest standard of dental care. Located less than a mile from where Dr. Wright grew up—at the corner of Howell Branch Road and Temple Trail in Winter Park—our practice is deeply rooted in the community it serves. Dr. Wright leads a team of experienced dental professionals who are committed to personalized care, lasting relationships, and treating every patient like family.

Established in 1977 by Dr. Wright’s mentor, Dr. Gregg Kroen, the practice remains intentionally independent and privately owned. Our team has worked side-by-side for years—even decades—creating a level of continuity that is increasingly rare. We’ve celebrated milestones with our patients, watched toddlers grow into adults, and cared for multiple generations within the same families. It’s this stability, familiarity, and personal attention that shape our boutique, relationship-driven approach to dentistry.

Our Team
Sharon McLeod Sharon McLeod
A proud Central Florida native, Sharon has devoted more than 40 years to the field of dentistry. She began her career as a dental assistant at just 18 years old and, three years later, joined Dr. Kroen at the front desk. Since the age of 21, Sharon has been the steady cornerstone of the practice—serving as office manager for 37 years, and the beloved voice and welcoming face our patients know and trust. Sharon and her husband are now enjoying life as doting grandparents in Casselberry. Together, they have five children and four granddaughters who bring them tremendous joy.
 
Amanda Abate
Amanda has been an integral part of our practice for over 20 years as a dental hygienist. A native Floridian originally from the Space Coast, she is known for her thorough, compassionate, and detail-oriented approach to patient care and feels grateful to have built lasting relationships with patients throughout her years in the practice. Outside of the dental office, Amanda enjoys design consulting alongside her husband. Together, they stay happily busy raising their teenagers.
 
Marie Stokes
Originally from Winter Park, Marie has worked in the field of dentistry for over 25 years and joined our practice in 2005. Her calming presence and patient-centered, comfort-focused care makes all the difference to our patients. Marie earned her Associate of Science degree in Dental Hygiene from Valencia Community College, and lives in Maitland with her husband while they enjoy the empty-nest chapter of life. She cherishes time with her three young adult children, loves traveling whenever she can, and creates beautiful, handcrafted jewelry and treasures in her free time.
