Dandy’s Clinical Support Team

One of the most complex cases I’ve ever worked on was when I designed an AOX upper and lower full dentures hybrid case with a metal framework. It required attention to detail to ensure comfort and functionality.

At Dandy, I’ve completed complex overdentures cases with a locator system, Hader bar, and mini implants. It’s rewarding to see the transformation in a patient’s smile and know that I played a role in helping them regain their confidence and quality of life.

I am committed to staying up-to-date with the latest technology and techniques to provide the best possible care.

In my 8 years of experience in a dental laboratory, I have honed my skills in both digital and analog techniques. My expertise includes pouring models, die trimming, 3D scanning with 3Shape, singulation, staining, and sintering.

Additionally, I have worked as a Crown and Bridge finisher, ensuring high-quality final products.

As an account manager, I have also collaborated closely with doctors to ensure seamless communication and optimal results.

Originally from Brazil, I specialize in prosthodontics, composite restorations, and digital dentistry. In 2016, I moved to Israel where I earned my MSc in Dentistry from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Now residing in the US, I have been working with the Crown and Bridge team at Dandy for almost 2 years as a Clinical Expert. I am passionate about improving the dental health and smile of patients.

My goal is to continue to help bring the latest technology and innovations to the field of dentistry to better serve the patient.

After 12 years in the field, I am an expert in surgical planning, guide design, and guide fabrication for dental implant procedures.

Even in cases with challenging anatomical features, such as an extremely narrow ridge on the mandibular or a low sinus floor on the maxillary, I am able to plan for lateral window grafting to achieve the best possible outcome for my patients.

From all-on-X cases to full mouth crown and bridge rehab, multi-unit implant cases with varying degrees of angulation concerns and guides for implant placement, I have supported a multitude of complex cases throughout the years. But my favorite cases to support are those where the doctor may not seem hopeful for a great outcome due to the complexity. Together, we are able to determine the best combination of materials to move forward, and the case turns out to be a real home run life changer for the patient.

There’s nothing more rewarding for me than knowing I’ve helped a patient smile with confidence after a successful procedure and seeing the doctor’s satisfaction with the results.

I have over 20 years of experience in the lab, mastering every step of fabricating removable prosthetics – from simple repairs to night guards and casting frameworks. Embracing the digital workflow, I’ve enjoyed learning and adapting to the industry’s changing landscape. At Dandy, I work closely with doctors to ensure the best results for patients, regardless of case complexity. Being part of the process brings me immense pride, and I’m always here to help. Continuous learning and dedication drive me, making each patient’s smile transformation incredibly fulfilling.

In my 30+ years as a C&B dental technologist, I have never regretted my career choice. I have watched the dental field grow in ways I never would have expected when I first started.

That being said, I am well versed in analog and digital techniques, including but not limited to, all types of crowns/bridges, implants, material choices, prep styles, retraction methods, CAD/CAM, and treatment planning.

My goal, when assisting you is to listen, compile the information, and execute the solution as quickly and efficiently as I can. I know your chair time and the patient’s time are very valuable, and I would not like to waste it. I am dedicated to staying up-to-date with technology and techniques, as they are changing rapidly on a regular basis.

But most of all, I look forward to helping you to better serve your patients.
