Dr. Ann Wheelock
Dr. Ann Wheelock was born and raised in the Roanoke Valley of Virginia. Her father was an orthodontist and she has fond memories spending time at his practice after school growing up.

Dr. Wheelock is certified in Invisalign and is excited for opportunities to volunteer in the Mechanicsville/Atlee area.
Dr. Wheelock was first drawn to dentistry while growing up in her dad’s dental office. She loved seeing him and his team work together to create a fun atmosphere for their patients. She strives to create a similar atmosphere where patients feel at ease and confident in the care they are receiving. Her goal is to change the patient’s perception of dental care and give them confidence in their smile. In her words, “There is nothing more rewarding than meeting a new, anxious patient who has had poor dental experiences in the past and having them leave our office with a smile on their face.”

Dr. Rafael Siqueira
Dr. Rafael Siqueira is originally from Recife, a beautiful town on the coast of Brazil. He attended the University of Pernambuco in Brazil and graduated from dental school in 2010.
He then went on to complete a Masters of Implantology which is similar to a US residency program. After completing that, he joined a PhD program at the Federal University of Pernambuco which sent him to the University of Michigan to do research for his master’s thesis. Once he completed his PhD, he headed back to Michigan School of Dentistry for a 3-year residency in Periodontics. During his time in school and residency, he was able to publish over 30 scientific articles in international peer reviewed journals and write five book chapters. This resulted in a few awards over the years.
Dr. Siqueira’s interest in dentistry started to develop very early in his life by watching his parents who are both dentists. He observed his father teaching students and treating both students and patients with compassionate care. He witnessed a few instances where patients were moved to tears by the results of his father’s care and students whose lives were so strongly impacted by the mentorship his father provided on their path to become a Periodontist or Implantologist. Dr. Siqueira soon realized he wanted to have that same positive impact by being a dentist, educator and researcher.
Dr. Siqueira describes himself as not only family-oriented and very sociable, but also easy-going and calm. He loves being with friends, having a good time and sharing great food. He is typically very optimistic. He is married to Renata, a lawyer, who just recently gave birth to their first child, Thomas. They do not currently have any pets but hope to add a dog to their family in the near future. Dr. Siqueira is a big sports fan, food lover and loves to travel. His hobbies include playing tennis, watching sports, exploring new restaurants, travelling and meeting new people, and learning new languages. A fun fact about Dr. Siqueira is that he speaks his native language, Portuguese, as well as English, Italian, and can communicate quite well in Spanish. He is currently taking a Spanish course to improve his fluency.
Dr. Paul Jiral
Dr. Paul Jiral was raised in Chesapeake, VA, and lived there from 1st grade through high school. He attended James Madison University for his undergraduate degree in education and taught for a year before realizing his desire to go to dental school.
Dr. Jiral attended MCV for his dental education and is a member of the ADA, Academy of General Dentistry, and the VDA. Dr. Jiral is also an approved Invisalign Provider and spent time volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Richmond Jaycees.
Dr. Jiral was first drawn to dentistry because he loved the idea of working in the healing arts. He grew up enjoying his experience in the dental office but didn’t pursue the field until he had worked in the “real world” for a year. He is very personable and wanted to do something medical but didn’t like the idea of working in a hospital setting. He also enjoyed working with his hands, so dentistry seemed to be a great fit! Dr. Jiral is motivated each day by the simple pleasures in life like waking up and feeling the sunshine on his skin. He gets a great deal of satisfaction from planning out detailed treatment and seeing it executed perfectly, leaving the patient happy.
In his spare time, Dr. Jiral likes to find unorthodox ways of fixing things in his house and designing his own tools for his athletic hobbies. He considers himself a bit of an inventor. For example, he built his own trailer to pull his kayak behind his bike! His wife, Celia, ran his previous dental office but is retired now. She is on the hunt for her own new adventure! Dr. Jiral and Celia have three adult children and one grandchild who all reside in Virginia. Dr. Jiral describes himself as a well-adjusted middle child and enjoys any athletic activity. He has participated competitively in swimming, football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, alpine skiing, volleyball, archery, track and field, a mini triathlon and wrestling. He enjoys any activity that gets him outside!
