Dr. Alexandra Marquez, DMD, leads Rivertowne Family Dentistry, continuing the practice’s long tradition of gentle, comprehensive care for Mount Pleasant families.
She earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine from Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine and believes the best dentistry starts with listening: taking time to understand each patient, explaining every option clearly, and never rushing a visit.
Before dental school, Dr. Marquez earned a Bachelor of Science in Public Health Sciences from the University of Maryland. That background shapes how she practices today: she sees oral health as part of your overall wellness, not something separate from it.
She’s also proud of where she comes from. Born and raised in Miami, the daughter of Cuban parents (her father is a cardiologist, her mother a physical therapist), Dr. Marquez grew up bilingual, with medicine and patient care in her blood. She’s happy to conduct entire visits in Spanish: visite nuestra página en español.
“I love working with my hands and take pride in providing personalized, compassionate care.”
Her philosophy of care is simple: listen first. Every visit begins with a conversation, every recommendation is explained in plain language, and digital x‑rays and photos are shared on the screen beside you, so you can see exactly what she sees and make decisions with confidence, never pressure. For patients who feel nervous in the dental chair, she takes extra time to go at your pace.
Now putting down roots in the Lowcountry, Dr. Marquez looks forward to getting to know the families of Mount Pleasant, one visit and one conversation at a time.
A note from Dr. Marquez
Dear neighbors,
Thank you for the warm welcome you’ve given me. Stepping into a practice this loved by its community is an honor I don’t take lightly. Many of you have trusted Rivertowne with your smiles for years, and I intend to earn that same trust one visit at a time.
My promise to you is simple: I will listen before I recommend, explain everything in plain language, and never rush you through a decision about your own health. Whether you’ve been coming here since 2011 or are walking through our doors for the first time, you’ll be treated like a neighbor, because that’s exactly what you are.
I can’t wait to meet you.
Dr. Alexandra Marquez

Caring for Mount Pleasant families since 2011
Rivertowne Family Dentistry opened its doors in July 2011, in Rivertowne Place Shopping Center next to Harris Teeter, and it’s been a neighborhood fixture ever since.
As the practice begins its next chapter under Dr. Marquez, the things patients have always loved about it remain: the same experienced team, an education-first approach built around digital imaging you can see for yourself, and unhurried visits where your comfort comes first.
