Meet Periu Family Dentistry
We're more than a dental practice — we're your neighbors, your partners in health, and your biggest fans when it comes to your smile.
Our Practice Story
Periu Family Dentistry was founded on a simple belief: every patient deserves to feel genuinely cared for — not just treated. From the moment you walk through our doors, you'll notice the difference. We take time to listen, explain, and make sure you're comfortable every step of the way.
Serving Melbourne, FL and the surrounding Brevard County community, we've built our practice on trust, compassion, and clinical excellence. Whether you're bringing in your toddler for their first visit or finally getting that smile makeover you've been putting off, we're here for every milestone.

Community Roots
We're proud to be part of the Melbourne community and committed to giving back to the families we serve.
Lead Dentist & Founder
Lie-Ying Periu, D.M.D.
Dr. Lie-Ying Periu, the founder of Periu Family Dentistry, is proud to serve the Melbourne community she has called home her entire life. Born and raised locally, she graduated from Eau Gallie High School before attending the University of Florida, where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree. Her undergraduate years at UF sparked a lifelong passion for oral healthcare, leading her to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Florida College of Dentistry. A Thoughtful, Conservative Approach to Care Dr. Periu believes that exceptional dentistry should be conservative, precise, and highly personalized. She focuses on effective, long-lasting, and minimally invasive treatments—always putting her patients’ comfort, unique goals, and overall well-being first. By blending technical expertise with an artistic eye, she delivers functional, beautiful results that restore oral health and enhance your natural smile. Dedicated to Excellence & Innovation Continuous learning is the cornerstone of Dr. Periu’s practice philosophy. Before opening Periu Family Dentistry, she completed extensive postgraduate coursework to master advanced clinical techniques. Today, she regularly participates in continuing education programs to stay at the forefront of modern dental technology, advanced materials, and state-of-the-art procedures. Community-Centered Care For Dr. Periu, dentistry is about building lasting relationships. She is dedicated to creating a warm, welcoming environment where you feel heard, safe, and confident in your care. Her patient-first approach has helped thousands of local families achieve healthy smiles in an atmosphere that feels like home.
