Happy to be featured in @shape magazine about slimming your jaw muscles. (Spoiler alert- there’s no real exercise to do this!)

More patients than ever are coming in with jaw pain and broken teeth! Find out more here

GUESSING GAME Can you tell which pic I’m wearing my @invisalign retainers in?? or ? (And #filters because I still hate taking selfies ) We’ve seen a big uptick in patients wanting to start @invisalign because, if you’re going to wear a mask in public, you may as well get straighter, healthier teeth while you’re at it! If you’re interested in starting treatment, shoot me a DM. ... Confession I’m not wearing them in either picture. But you wouldn’t know the difference! And I do wear them EVERY night to keep my teeth from shifting. #styleyoursmile #newyorksmilespecialists #gallery57dental #thesmilespecialist #nyssatgallery57dental #nycsmiles #nycdentist

SMILE MAKEOVER I know the first thing you notice about this before and after is the new, whiter teeth. But the motivation behind this patient’s desire to get veneers wasn’t just cosmetics. She had old restorations on her laterals that caused her constant discomfort and inflammation in the gums. With the new restorations, her gums are healthy, she’s comfortable and best of all- she loves her new smile! ... #styleyoursmile #newyorksmilespecialists #gallery57dental #thesmilespecialist #nyssatgallery57dental #nycsmiles #nycdentist See more

#challengeaccepted Thanks for the @queenqueencaroline #womensupportingwomen should be expected, but I love acknowledging a few of the badass women I have the privilege of calling my colleagues in this male-dominated profession. I see you @meghanzuniga @ljacobi09 @kimberleyalexandra_ @rebecca_the_dentist. Let’s keep this thing going

A smile makeover doesn’t always mean veneers! This lovely lady’s smile was rejuvenated with an @avadentdigitaldentures. Her old denture, though it lasted her about 25 years, was severely worn, ill fitting and discolored. Using a digital workflow, we were able to do a try-in and make simple changes on the computer prior to fabrication of the definitive denture. #styleyoursmile #newyorksmilespecialists #gallery57dental #thesmilespecialist #nyssatgallery57dental #nycsmiles #nycdentist

PPE but make it fashun!

Last week was our first week back in the office and with it came a lot of mixed emotions. First and foremost, it felt SO good to be with our amazing staff and wonderful patients who were chomping at the bit (*pun intended*) to come back in to see us. Second, it brought a whole new wave of gratitude for our frontline healthcare workers. Those N95 masks are no joke- I’m actually wearing one here under the blue mask you see. After just a couple of days in that thing it’s... a reminder of the courage and compassion from the men and women who are out there keeping us healthy. Third, it’s sad to see midtown Manhattan these days. A place that is usually so filled with the hustle and bustle of this amazing city now feels like a ghost town. But little by little, each day there seems to be a bit more life being pumped back in. So, I’m hopeful going into this next week. I’m excited about being able to do dentistry again. And until I can see each of you, stay safe, wear your masks outside and keep up with the hand washing. #styleyoursmile #newyorksmilespecialists #gallery57dental #thesmilespecialist #nyssatgallery57dental #nycsmiles #nycdentist See more

Happy NPAW! This week is National Prosthodontics Awareness Week! And though this wasn’t the way we expected to celebrate this year, it’s still important that we promote our profession in a socially-distanced, quarantine appropriate manner To raise awareness, I’m participating in the #iseeaprosthodontistbecausecampaign. To my fellow prosthodontists, why is it important that a patient sees YOU? To my patients, why did you choose to see a prosthodontist? ... I chose to become a prosthodontist so I could have a deeper understanding of the challenges facing patients and have lots of ways of being able to help them. I’ve also found that my training has helped me better predict where potential problems might come up in patient treatments and how to treatment plan to avoid those problems. If you are a prosthodontist, see a prosthodontist or even work with a prosthodontist, I’m challenging YOU (yes, you!) to screen shot this image and post it to your account sharing your why. Happy NPAW folks! #npaw #prosthodontist #prosthodontics #gotoapro #styleyoursmile #newyorksmilespecialists #gallery57dental #thesmilespecialist #nyssatgallery57dental #nycsmiles #nycdentist See more

a small bright spot amidst the chaos... Our Dads & Daughters feature is finally out in @incisaledgemagazine ! I count my lucky stars daily that I am fortunate enough to work along side my father, @thesmilespecialist. I’m doubly fortunate that I also get the privilege of working with @rebecca_the_dentist and her father, @ackdds. And now we have been given the opportunity to share what a special and unique situation we have. Right now I’m very much missing these 3 sk...illed dentists, but above all, wonderful people not to mention our whole amazing team @gallery57dental. But, it’s a small sacrifice to make to do our part and help #flattenthecurve. We hope that you’re all staying healthy. We’re still available for your emergency dental needs via phone and email stay out of the hospitals if you don’t need to be there!

Sometimes less is more! This patient wasn’t quite ready for veneers on his small lateral incisors, so I repaired the bonding with the understanding that veneers will be his best bet for the future.
