— Dr. Lena

A reputation built on trust and connection.


Dr. Lena completes hundreds of hours of continuing education each license cycle to stay at the forefront of MARPE, modern orthodontic protocols, and comprehensive restorative techniques — ensuring every treatment plan is thoughtful, innovative, and whole-body focused.

A dedicated educator, Dr. Lena also gives back to her field by teaching across disciplines — training nurses to recognize and screen for pediatric sleep-disordered breathing, and mentoring fellow dentists through her courses on MARPE and Invisalign. She's an active contributor in study groups as well, supporting the community by helping fellow dentists navigate questions about adult and pediatric orthodontics.

When she's not practicing, you'll find her enjoying life in the city, flowing through yoga, experimenting in the kitchen, or reading by the beach in her flip flops.
