Background:  Dr. Angela Hilton-Foley has been a Florida resident since the age of two.  After attending two years of high school, she was allowed early admission into college, at the University of Florida. Between undergraduate and dental school, Dr. Hilton-Foley did research in her hometown of Miami, Florida at the Jackson Memorial Hospital, University of Miami Medical Center in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology.  She was awarded a Doctorate of Dental Medicine from UF College of Dentistry, in 1991.  Following graduation she relocated to Orlando and set up her first solo private dental practice, in Altamonte Springs, Florida.  After marrying and moving to the Tampa Bay area in 2003, she opened her current practice, Designing Smiles.  Dr. Hilton-Foley resides in the Westchase area along with her husband, two boys and two cats.  

Dr. Hilton-Foley has attended more than 900 hours of Continuing Education, including courses at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Learning (LVI), the Nash Institute for Dental Training for Cosmetic Dentistry, the Nobel Biocare Implant Training in California, and Dr. Garg's Implant Seminar Continuum.  She is a trained in Oral Conscious Sedation and Invisalign, and has earned her Fellowship from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, in dental implants.  She loves to attend continuing education courses and considers herself a life long student. For her, the best part about being a dentist is having the opportunity to form wonderful, long-term relationships with patients and their families. Seeing families form, children born, then watching them grow up and start their own lives, brings a lot of personal satisfaction and meaning to being their family dentist. She loves being part of so many people’s lives and helping them take control of their oral health.  Personally, Dr. Hilton-Foley enjoys spending time with her family, reading books, traveling, watching Gator football and playing the piano.
