Rooted in Salisbury.
Elevated for you.
The story behind our new name — and the doctor and promises behind your care.
Our Story
Same office. Same team.
A new chapter.
For more than a decade, the brick colonial at 140 Mahaley Avenue has been home to trusted dental care for Salisbury families. In 2026, the practice formerly known as Radiant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry became Okonic Dental — a new name honoring the doctor who leads it, and a renewed commitment to the patients who made it what it is.
Everything you valued stays: the welcoming team, the comfortable office, and honest, unhurried dentistry. What's new is the standard we hold ourselves to — every visit should feel personal, every recommendation should make sense, and every smile should leave here healthier than it arrived.

Meet Your Dentist
Dr. Kelvin Okons, DDS
Dr. Okons earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery at Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry in Nashville after completing his undergraduate studies at UNC Greensboro. A North Carolinian at heart — raised in Fayetteville — he has cared for patients at this Salisbury office as part of the Radiant Smiles team, and now leads it under the Okonic Dental name.
“I treat my patients like family. Developing trust is of the utmost importance to me — your health and comfort come first, and you're a person here, never a number.”
Patients know him for clear explanations, a calm chairside manner, and treatment plans built around what you actually need — nothing more, nothing less.
How We Practice
Three promises, every visit.
Honesty first
Transparent recommendations and pricing, explained before anything happens. If a tooth can wait, we'll tell you.
Comfort always
A calm office, a gentle team, and nitrous oxide sedation when you want extra ease. Dental anxiety is welcome here.
Care for every age
From a child's first checkup to full dentures — one office your whole family can call home.
