New Smile Unlocked 🔓 Our patient was sure that he would never function well again after years of poorly controlled gum disease, but our team helped him accept what cannot be reversed and embrace a healthier, brighter, and even more handsome future. 🫶🏽

Working closely with local oral surgeon, Dr. Jason Bae, and John Lee of here in Northern Virginia, we were able to plan, execute, and deliver an amazing Smile Design Rehab without the patient ever being without teeth. Hybrid implant supported prosthetics allow patients to regain confidence and functionality without ever worrying about dentures falling out, dropping on the bathroom floor, or fitting poorly in their mouths.

If you or a loved one are struggling with a poorly fitted denture or are worried about the future of your natural teeth and have been avoiding care — pick up the phone for a comprehensive evaluation with me and my team. Together we can determine what options best fit your goals and needs. We love inspiring smiles and look forward to meeting you!

👀 SPOTTED this weekend : Sunsets, Straight Teeth, and Sombreros. ☺️ Dr. Keith Brassfield, owner of and my good friend, appreciates the importance of alignment and his journey is part of his total health routine. The sunset and dude in a sombrero — that’s the universe making sure our evening aligned for my perfect Instagram caption. 💛

I am truly so thankful for Keith and his wife — owner of and their studio in Gainesville. Despite being such a power couple they are so intentional in how they spend time with friends and how they are raising their family. As small business owners, aligning our business aspirations with our personal life goals can be so difficult. Surrounding ourselves with others that “just get it” helps us stay grounded and focused on the right things. We are all in this to help our community live healthier lives and feel better after being under our care. ✨ And we want our children to see what human care and friendship looks like. ✨

🔓 Unlocking new skills and heating things up with new tech! Last week’s all-day training with Annie was top notch. And I am so proud of my team for showing up with eagerness to learn. 💛

Our patients value quality, precision, and convenience. Our upgraded 3D printing workflow with the Pro 2 delivers all of the above and I am excited to help patients in more ways than ever before. From custom sports guards, emergency retainers or tooth replacement, to custom no-prep veneers and flexible dentures. We are now able to provide a wider variety of solutions to meet patients’ needs and overcome limitations.

Fun Fact: I graduated with a degree in computer science and my first career was in graphic design — so I’m super excited to nerd out over 3D printing! 👩🏻‍💻

Every woman on the planet will go through perimenopause and menopause — and these hormonal shifts can impact the quality and quantity of our saliva. This change, even if barely detected by a woman, can increase her risk for cavities, gum disease and inflammation, discomfort during function and (something I totally failed to mention in the video) bad breath.

This is a first in a series of videos in which I will explore and discuss how this phase in a woman’s life can impact and be impacted by her oral health.

Stressing the importance of building a good relationship with your dental care team. And seeking care from dentists and hygienists who are paying attention to your changing needs, recording baselines at each visit to identify shifts when they occur, and have the time built into their schedule to have conversations about your shared concerns and goals. Comprehensive dental care is a key component of your overall health.

These videos are not intended to provide medical advice and you should always consult with your own physician or dentist for diagnosis and treatment. My goal is to inspire curiosity and get more people to talk openly about perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause.

If you are noticing changes in your oral health and want to gain a comprehensive understanding of what may be going on, my team and I would love to welcome you to our practice in Ashburn, Virginia. Call us at 703-688-8768 to schedule your New Patient Experience. We look forward to being part of your functional medicine team.

For the full length video — packed with more detailed insight — visit my YouTube channel or check out my linktree in my bio. Content will be posted there in advance, so you can gain access to my sweet self-produced videos sooner! I am ready to add “video editor” to my resume! ☺️

Using this cute kid (he’s mine 🩵) to remind you to take advantage of summer break to get caught up on dental appointments!

With summer around the corner, camps filling up, and the scramble to figure out what to do — plan a fun day that includes a trip to the dentist! 😅 My son is cracking up as I write this… so I’m going with it. Because his laugh gives me life.

Take the steps up to the third floor? Sports!
Oral hygiene instruction? Educational!
X Rays? STEM!
Tooth Polish? Self care!
Time with our team? FUN!!

It’s like camp but for less than an hour. But mom and dad can sit in our comfortable reception area and enjoy the air conditioning. 🫶🏽

Perimenopause & Menopause impact every woman on the planet. Marked by hormonal shifts and historically experienced by women in private — this phase can last years and symptoms typically fluctuate.

Because our mouths serve as the gateway to our whole-body health, it should come at no surprise that women often experience changes in their mouths that could impact their comfort, increase their risk for tooth decay and gum disease, or indicate that other related conditions may be occurring elsewhere in their bodies.

As I, personally navigate this phase in my life, I have become more aware of how my own patients may also be impacted. And I know that I should be part of their functional healthcare team.

Over the next few weeks I will be rolling out informational videos and posts to spark conversation and better understanding for women and the people who support them. These are not intended to be medical advice, but motivational and I hope they serve as an invitation to come in to discuss your individual concerns and needs.

If you are curious if your shifting hormones are impacting your oral health, give us a call for a comprehensive dental evaluation. If you are new to the practice, our New Patient Experience will wow you. If you are already a member of our patient community — you know I will always make the time to focus on you.

Call us at 703-688-8768 to get scheduled with our team!

Look who’s back!?! Ema the intern! 💕 With her sights locked onto dental school, she’s excited to help our team in all aspects of care and customer service. She’s always great with patients and team is excited to be back.

Ema joins our dental assistant duo — Nahomy and Sara — who are also pre-dental. It is important to me to invite dental school hopefuls into the practice to see what excellence looks like in dentistry. To promote the kind of cares that goes beyond “drill and fill”. I truly believe that healthcare is suffering because we have allowed third parties (ahem, insurance) to influence patient and provider decisions — and I’m standing up against those trends. My hope is that the future of dentistry is inspired to focus on the patient experience, invest the time to build relationships and trust, and stand for the true value of the care we provide our patients.

Here’s to inspiring smiles through inspiring our future dentists!

Dear Diary, when can we do this again??? This weekend with didn’t disappoint. I feel like I made so many new friends and the dopamine hits from seeing these docs start thinking about patient care in a whole new light, are going to carry me through the rest of the week!

My face hurts from smiling so much. 😂 A HUGE thank you to all of the amazing clinicians who trusted us with their education, invested their time to elevate how they care for their patients, and engaged enthusiastically with their peers to create unmatched energy over occlusion. When nerds unite! 😜 I look forward to seeing you at future courses and watching you grow.

Next up — Women Who Rock The Drill!!! June 5-6 in Charleston. Because implementing advanced clinical CE is best paired with a network of bad ass ladies ready to cheer you on, lift you up, and share their common challenges. Today, we set the foundation. Women Who Rock The Drill will help you overcome any self-made barriers, put your emotional needs first, and set you up with leadership skills that will guide you to your vision of success — whether you are an owner, a future owner, or an associate.

Ready to Rock The Drill this weekend in Charlotte with my favorite people at 🩵 for a sold out Ultimate Occlusion 1 course.

It feels just like yesterday that I was boarding a flight with my family for my first CMS course as a young(er) dentist with a new born and a vague understanding of occlusion (how our bites function for those of you non dents 🥰). Never would I have imagined back in 2018 how career and life changing that weekend in Boston would be.

This single weekend opened my eyes to how impactful dentists can be when we stop treating teeth and start caring for people. Dental school training and an insurance-driven healthcare system have so many dentists focused on a single problem or a single tooth — leaving gaps in patient understanding and long-term outcomes.

Functional and comprehensive dentistry isn’t about pushing more dentistry. It’s about having the knowledge and skill to identify when a system isn’t working for a patient and sharing with them what is possible. And possibility can look like prevention, maintenance, or rehabilitation. Just like functional medicine — it’s about connecting dots and empowering people to gain greater control of their oral health.

I am so thankful to have stumbled upon this compendium and establishing myself as a functional and comprehensive dentist. I know that my team and patients are thankful too! ✨

The CMS crew has also shown me that it’s possible to be really smart and good at what you do without being an arrogant a-hole (iykyk). 😜 Which is cool.

So here’s to celebrating my continued growth in dentistry, to welcoming a new era of dentists into the CMS community, and sharing gratitude for my family (and CMS framily!). 🫶🏽

It is truly an honor to inspire smiles every day.

The season is upon us when our college-aged and early adulting patients come in for routine care! 🤩 It’s always exciting to hear what adventures lay ahead for them during these summer months. From pursuing their dreams in theater, advocating for the environment, landing their first jobs, or simply taking a much needed brain break — it’s a joy hearing their stories and an honor to help them build healthy dental habits that will set them up for the future!

Today these two ladies serendipitously crossed paths and we had a great laugh over the 6 degrees of ☺️ A reminder that we are all part of this community and connected more closely than we all may think. So get out there and inspire some smiles!
