Meet The Team
Dr. Caroline Labritz gained an interest in dentistry at a young age by working multiple summers and holidays with her father, Dr. P. Ronald Graziani, who maintained a successful practice in Fairmont since 1976. These experiences fueled her desire to eventually follow in his footsteps and pursue dentistry herself.
Dr. Labritz graduated from the West Virginia University School of Dentistry in 2004 with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery Degree. She spent her first six years practicing in Morgantown until coming back to Fairmont in 2010 to practice with her father in the Graziani Labritz Dentistry practice.
Feeling a desire to return to Morgantown after years in Fairmont, Dr.Labritz made her return in 2016. Now back in Morgantown, she joined forces with Dr. Diana Frum to form Dental Arts which would eventually become Sorriso Dental.
