Back in the early days of her academic career, her educational journey began at the Autonomic University of Santo Domingo, the first university founded in the American Continent in 1538. Completing both her undergraduate and dental education there, she established a successful private practice in Santo Domingo, where she honed her skills and practiced alongside an associate for four years.

Upon relocating to the United States, Dr. Lora pursued further excellence by enrolling at the prestigious University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine for her DMD and Advanced General Dentistry.

Her educational journey took her to Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, where she earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. Following this, she honed her skills further through a General Practice Residency at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.

Among her professional affiliations, Dr. Lora is a proud member of professional organizations such as the American Dental Society and the Academy of Prosthodontics.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.

Beyond her commitment to dentistry, Dr. Solange values her family time and enjoys festive activities such as decorating for holidays. Her love for travel, cooking, baking, and dancing enriches her life outside of dentistry
