The Story
Dr. Andi-Jean Miro
Cosmetic Dentist. Educator. Artist.
Beverly Hills & New York City
“This isn’t just dentistry to me. It’s a craft, a study, a pursuit of perfection—where your smile is designed with intention, precision, and a level of care you can feel the moment you walk in.”
The Beginning
Some people choose dentistry. Dr. Andi was drawn to it — specifically to the version of dentistry where craft and beauty converge. While earning her dental degree at New York University College of Dentistry, she completed an advanced clinical concentration in Aesthetic Dentistry: a program that drew her not just into the mechanics of teeth, but into the deeper question of how a smile shapes a face, a first impression, a life.
NYU's College of Dentistry gave her the rigorous clinical foundation. The aesthetic concentration gave her language for something she already knew intuitively — that a smile is not a dental outcome. It is a portrait. She graduated in 2014 carrying both a degree and a conviction: the most powerful thing she could do with her hands was help people see themselves differently.
Apa Aesthetic — The Formative Years
After completing her general residency at NYU Lutheran — a Level 1 trauma center in Brooklyn — Dr. Andi joined Apa Aesthetic in New York City in 2015, where she has worked directly alongside Dr. Mike Apa ever since. Apa Aesthetic is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious cosmetic dental practices in the world, and joining it placed Dr. Andi in an environment where the standard for excellence was absolute.
The nine years that followed were a master class in everything — in preparation design, in the patience required to truly see a patient's face before ever touching a tooth, in the discipline of doing less when less is more, and more when the case demands it. What emerged was a philosophy: the relationship between dentist and patient is a collaboration, and the dentist's job is not to impose beauty but to reveal it.
Stribe & The Art of Ceramic
In 2019, Dr. Andi founded STRIBE — a dental education company built to share the knowledge she had spent years accumulating at the highest level of cosmetic dentistry. STRIBE is the platform. Art of Ceramic is its signature course — a hands-on intensive in porcelain veneer technique that Dr. Andi personally teaches across multiple countries.
Art of Ceramic covers everything that makes the difference between technically adequate dentistry and genuinely beautiful work: preparation design, case planning, lab collaboration, cementation, and the artistic intuition that only comes from doing thousands of cases. Dr. Andi doesn't teach from slides — she teaches from a track record.
Over 1,000 dentists across four countries have trained through STRIBE. The mission is the elevation of an entire profession.

VIP Suite
Los Angeles
In 2023, Dr. Andi was invited to help lead Apa Aesthetic's Los Angeles location — a recognition of what she had built and of the singular standard she represents. The Beverly Hills practice, located at 9400 Brighton Way, brings the full weight of the Apa Aesthetic philosophy to the West Coast: meticulous case design, the highest-grade materials, and an experience calibrated for patients who expect excellence in every detail.
The LA practice is unlike any dental office you have experienced. A private VIP treatment suite. An onsite ceramics lab. Netflix on the ceiling and noise-canceling headphones — because the finest cosmetic dental practices in the world should feel indistinguishable from the finest luxury experiences in the world.
Dr. Andi now divides her time between Beverly Hills and New York City. Patients who have traveled from across the country — and from abroad — to sit in her chair do so knowing that the level of care does not change with the zip code. Both coasts. One standard.
The Way She Works
Dr. Andi believes that the most dangerous thing in cosmetic dentistry is a formula. Every face is its own ecosystem — its proportions, its character, its history — and a smile that looks extraordinary on one person would look artificial on another.
Her approach begins long before a preparation is made: in the consultation, in the photography, in the mock-up that lets a patient see and feel the result before it is permanent. She thinks of each case as a question, not a prescription: What does this person's face want? What would look natural here in ten years, not just on the day of delivery?
That belief — that what she does matters beyond the aesthetic — is the source of the precision she brings to every case. She has spoken publicly about this, including in a profile with Rachel Zoe on Climbing in Heels, about what it means to practice at this level and how a smile can change not just an appearance, but an interior life.
Every smile I design is a collaboration between science and artistry - there's no formula, only intention.
