About this episode

Welcome to the 164th episode of the Tooth or Dare Podcast with Irene Iancu (@toothlife.irene) and this week's guest Dr. Andi-Jean Miro (@aestheticsbyandi). AKA a baddie in the industry of creating beautiful cosmetic smiles and boy oh boy and I am honoured to call her a friend. 

Let’s face it - most patients hate going to the dentist, usually because they associate it with pain or discomfort. As a cosmetic dentist, Dr. Andi actively works to change the public perception of dentistry and make it about looking good and feeling great. Her efforts don’t stop just at the clinic - she is also dedicated to continuing education and empowering her peers to give patients the smiles they want. Tune in to find out how Dr. Andi was inspired to get into aesthetic dentistry and beyond!

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.
