Welcome to the 165th episode of the Tooth or Dare Podcast with Irene Iancu (@toothlife.irene) and this week's guest Dr. Andi-Jean Miro (@aestheticsbyandi). 

We return to celebrity dentist Dr. Andi this week to discuss some controversial practices in cosmetic dentistry. Is the rising popularity of over-the-counter dental procedures good or bad? What’s the real cost of patients getting their teeth done overseas, attracted by the lower sticker price? How do we manage unrealistic expectations of patients coming from social media platforms where people have “perfect” teeth? Dr. Andi has seen it all, and wants anyone considering cosmetic dentistry to know what’s possible and what’s too good to be true. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to educate yourself and pass on Andi’s wisdom to your patients.

Dr. Andi graduated from New York University College of Dentistry in 2014 with a focus on Aesthetic Dentistry, followed by a highly regarded Clinical Residency in Brooklyn. For eight years, she refined her skills at working alongside Dr. Mike Apa at Apa Aesthetic in Manhattan on the Upper East Side. Dr. Andi discovered her passion for both practicing and teaching dentistry during this time. 

In 2019, during the pandemic, Dr. Andi founded STRIBE, an innovative dental education platform created by dentists for dentists, aiming to make top-quality dental education more accessible worldwide. Dr. Andi has a strong commitment to teaching and frequently travels to lecture on cosmetic dentistry. She also holds several academic roles: Assistant Clinical Professor at NYU’s Aesthetic Dentistry Department, Clinical Professor at Nova Southeastern University, Residency Masterclass Instructor at STRIBE, Co-Founder and Clinical Instructor for the Art of Ceramic Hands-on Masterclass, and Clinical Instructor and Lecturer for the Rosenthal Institute’s Hands-on Aesthetic Advantage program in New York.

In 2023, Dr. Andi was invited to join and help lead the team at Apa Aesthetic’s LA location. She brings a deep passion for all aspects of dentistry, which is evident in the incredible patient transformations she helps create every day.
