10 years ago this month, I graduated dental school. But really, this journey started when I was 16 years old working in a dental office with big dreams and no idea how far theyād take me.
In 2012, I got into @nyudentistry while sitting in my parentsā kitchen in my @vspink robe and my beloved @michaelkors ceramic watch (no manicureā¦not much has changedš). Even then, I knew I wanted to become the best dentist I could possibly be, to have my own office in NYC, to do right by every single patient, and to create work that is aesthetic, functional, and truly life-changing.
Here we are a decade later. After lots of hard work and never giving up, every single one of those dreams has became reality. So grateful to every patient, my @maisonbedental team and my partner/work wife @ellenkatzdds . Hereās to 10+ years in dentistry, and many more to come ššŖ„

The light of my entire life is YOU š My biggest blessing and the air I breathe⦠I never knew a LOVE like this could exist on earth. Happy Motherās Day to all the amazing mamas š
This case is a perfect example of how veneers donāt have to look fake! Our patient wanted her smile, but elevated and thatās exactly what we gave her.
The patient presented with old composite on the 4 front teeth and the canine. We opted to treat the smile using 4 ultra thin, hand-layered veneers on the 4 front teeth and new composite on the canine.

Welcome to a day in my life in which I attempt to do it all until I pass out and do it all again tomorrow
Running a business, giving my all to my patients and being there for my team ALL while squeezing in every moment with my little prince is no easy task. But my goal will always be to grow and inspire those around me. Some days I can barely remember to brush my hair but hey as long as weāre all brushing our teeth right?! šŖ„š
It was our honor to host the WOMENS WELLNESS UNFILTERED panel last week. We were joined by so many incredible panelists and guests for a wonderful discussion about womenās health. At Maison BE, we truly believe that full body health begins in the mouth. This topic is so important to us not only as doctors, but also as womenās health advocates and we couldnāt be prouder to share the stage with these amazing women.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and to those who made the evening possible. Special thanks @bettybooze & @takearecess š¤
Your dentist might be part of your fertility AND pregnancy team⦠and people arenāt talking about it enough šŖ„š
Loved this fascinating discussion with @dr_bridget@ellenkatzdds@maisonbedental on how our oral health can impact our microbiome and risk of cardiovascular disease and pregnancy complications.
We treat oral health like itās separate from the rest of the body. Itās not. And when it comes to getting pregnant AND staying pregnant, the connection is real.
Hereās what matters:
Gum disease = chronic inflammation š§µ
Gingivitis and periodontitis release inflammatory signals that donāt stay local⦠they circulate. That systemic inflammation can interfere with implantation⦠and pregnancy.
For women trying to conceive š¤
Gum disease has been linked to delayed conception⦠with some studies showing it can take months longer to get pregnant.
For men š§¬
Oral bacteria can impact sperm quality⦠lowering count, motility, and normal shape. Thereās even a link to erectile dysfunction via impaired blood flow.
And during pregnancy⦠this is where it really matters š
Poor gum health has been associated with higher risks of preterm birth and low birth weight. The same inflammatory markers and oral bacteria can reach the placenta and amniotic environment, potentially triggering early labor.
The takeaway:
Your mouth is not a silo. Itās a gateway.
If youāre trying to conceive or already pregnant, oral health is part of the bigger picture of reducing inflammation and optimizing outcomes.
Brush. Floss. See your dentist regularly.
Think of it as part of your fertility and pregnancy checklist āļø
Because a healthy pregnancy doesnāt just start in the uterus⦠it starts everywhere.

A dental makeover so good it transformed the entire face! We restored form and function to this out-of-town patientās smile in only four visits and we couldnāt be happier with the results. š¤
#maisonbe #maisonbedental #smilemakeover
This patient traveled all the way from Florida for a #MaisonBE smile makeover. To restore the smile, @dr_bridget performed a full mouth reconstruction incorporating veneers, crowns, and implant crowns.
Check back tomorrow to see him go from temps to finals! š¦·š

Patients who travel to us from out of state hold a special place in our hearts. š¤ We brought this smile to the next level using 9 veneers + 1 crown on a root canal treated tooth.
