Our story

Meet your friendly neighborhood dentists

Dr. Alice and Dr. Chris met on the first day of dental school. They quickly bonded over a shared love of SC beaches, Radiohead and a desire to become medically trained artists. They remained good friends after they relocated to NYC for their respective residencies.

16 years later, they founded Brooklyn Mint Dental - a mindful, modern, whole health patient-centered dental studio with a passion and commitment to clinical excellence, social conscience and environmental
consciousness.

They hope to use their diverse experiences to re-imagine their patients' dental experience.
See why Brooklyn Mint Dental is refreshingly different by design.
