Dr Dwayne Bodie, who graduated from UMDNJ in 2006, completed his GPR residency at Stony Brook, and purchased his practice in Nyack in 2008. Early in his career, working with Dr. Catrise Austin of VIP Smiles, the “Dentist to the Stars” Cardi B rapped about, sparked his passion for cosmetic dentistry and high end esthetics. Later, an Army National Guard deployment during COVID unexpectedly kept him in Kuwait for eight months instead of Iraq, where he discovered digital dentistry and became inspired to pursue advanced training and new technology. That journey eventually led him to Digital Smile Design, Invisalign, minimally invasive dentistry, and becoming an early adopter of innovations like Curodont. The last few months he’s been using the Fotona laser which drastically expands the esthetics he’s able to provide.
