"....out came the sun and dried up all the rain..."
On this dreadfully dreary day, all it took was for this "Rose-y" nugget to come through my door and light up my world! A newly 102!!! I have no idea why she even had that walker...she doesn't need it...it was trying to keep up with HER. Today she even reached out to hug me and called me 'Sweetie'. My month is complete. 🌞
Another happy guy! Had decay on his upper front teeth, a space in the middle, and defects galore from his time in braces. Removed the decay, fixed the defects, and much to his delight, closed the space as he requested!
Happy National Doctors Day to all my amazing colleagues and EVERYONE brave enough to work in healthcare! Thank you for your service! Wanted to send an especially big thank you to this guy...Dr. Mike Rodriguez...who goes above and WAY beyond for all of his patients, to include me. He literally cares for half of this county, singlehandedly. I know so many of my patients are his patients, too, and know exactly what I'm saying is true. Dr. Mike...thanks for all you have done for me lately...it doesn't go unappreciated. You are a super doctor and a super human and I am so grateful to have you! I hope your staff celebrates the heck out of you today!
Words can be so powerful. These words were just that...and started off my week with a bang from one special lady! Thank you MK!
"Dr. Dina,
Thank you so much for being so thoughtful and such a great listener. I really appreciate you taking the time to send me such a warm and caring card. This means a lot to me, I have never had a doctor who saves time during appointments to just chat with me and care about me and my family. I know it's pretty obvious that my family loves you.
With gratitude,
T"
I hope a big group of students paints something fantastical on Beta Bridge in honor of those 3 handsome men that were lost!
Just got back after being out several weeks...and still not back to my normal hustle. But---- seeing this ray of sunshine today gave me back my pep in my step! 101.5 trips around the sun!
Celebrating all my nurse patients, all the nurses who've served on the frontlines since 2020, my family nurses, and those who took such good care of me! Thank you for all you do and will continue to do! Treat yourselves today.
Can you even STAND this cuteness?! Rose came in today for a visit...just 2 weeks shy of her 101st birthday! That's right...1-0-1! My hubby just gave me these gorgeous roses but I decided to give them to her as an early birthday gift. She certainly deserves it and I know he'd be very happy about it. Happy Birthday Sweet Rose! 🎂🎁🎈🎉
What an incredible Saturday I ended up having! Felt SO lucky to be invited to this beautiful lady's special birthday celebration. She and her hubby are one of my all-time favorite couples...ever...and they've been patients of mine since 2003! This par-tay was full of just the most delightful people.
Also, a big shout-out to The Manor at Airmont in Round Hill for a beautiful venue, wonderful celebration, and the best food I've had since my own wedding! Everything was spot on.
Jodie...happy birthday once again, lady! Can't thank you enough for including me in your circle.
One of my patients is doing the upcoming walk to cure MS...just made a donation to honor you gals I know and love who battle this dang thing.
To my patients, CS, LK, & MD, and my BFF from college Dr. Julie...here's to a cure in honor of four bada$$ women!
I'm seriously SO lucky to have such awesome patients and so many talented patients! Today I received this bottle that she hand painted with my logo. Like...she freehanded it! So now I have this awesome light-up wine bottle from Danielle, a beautiful painting in my office from Pamela, and an incredible piece of art in my home from Jenn. Yippee!
Got to spend yesterday with this handsome fella....I think things may be getting serious! :) He's a dude of few words, and yet, our lil' dates seem to be fulfilling for the both of us. Can't wait to see him again and I heard him tell his Mama the same. Really, I did.
This poor lil' dude got an accidental ski pole to the mouth. Had his orthodontist remove his bracket and wires so we could rebuild the tooth, by hand, with composite resin. He was super happy with the result, which is all I could ask for!
Life, in general, has been pretty taxing since COVID began. But got to go on a lonnnnng date this afternoon with this handsome fella’. Many of you may recognize him…his name is Levi. It was a wonderful date and he’s asked to see me again soon! I’m a lucky lady.
PS: for the many of you who have inquired, T-the-D is doing faaaabulous and she was back to pre-pregnancy weight in a millisecond!
What a fantastic way to end this (horrid) year and roll right into a better 2022! Last year I called my sweetest Dynamo my 'half wonder, half warrior' and in the wee hours of the morning today she held up to her moniker! She pushed this handsome little 8 lb. 12 oz. butterball out like a champ! Welcome to the world our baby dynamo: Levi Alexander VanAtta!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats. & Mazel Tov to the happy Mommies!!!!
Just did a special donation to Children's Hospital! Donate to them every year, but this year, it seemed to have even more meaning and importance. I did it to celebrate and honor several people and events......1) this time last year I was literally fighting for my life and wouldn't have made it without the tireless and selfless team of nurses and doctors I had. An enormous thank you and endless gratitude to ALL healthcare workers!! You are the true miracle makers. 2) My stepdaughter turned 18 on December 3, and would not have made it if it weren't for the double-digit, life-saving surgeries she's had at Children's. 3) My sweetest Dynamo/friend/workwife/forever-part-of-my-heart Taryn is gonna bust that bun out of the oven any day now. In anticipation of this new life coming into the world, it's so uplifting to know how many kids and families this donation will help! The radiothon is still running.....anyone want to join me in being one of their 'miracle makers' and donate?! Happy Holidays everyone!
It was early Halloween in our office today. My Dynamo's pumpkin is wayyyyyyy cuter than mine! Hope everyone's weekend is filled with more treats than tricks.
Happy Monday. I...can't...even.....! This little lady made my entire afternoon, my entire week, my entire month! My first-ever centenarian! Lovely Rose has no hearing aids, no glasses, no walker or cane. She is simply amazing. And a mouth full of healthy teeth to boot! She readily agreed to us taking a picture together so I could post it for all to see (both vaxxed, thank you). She is a site to behold (check out those fingernails) and a lady to admire. Welcome Rose! 💯💯💯
So, it's a tad late because we've been kinda' busy and all...driving out to the Secluded Cabins of Ohio! And when they say secluded...boy do they mean it! But what a beautiful, perfect day Saturday was for two beautiful, perfect ladies, at a beautiful and perfect ceremony. My lil' Dynamo looked even more glowing at this BIG ceremony than she did as we watched her on Zoom last year. Maybe it was knowing COVID wouldn't stop this...maybe it was that she was supported by so many...or maybe it was that this time their son was in attendance. 🥰 Whatever the reason(s), wishing these two beautiful souls who've come to mean so much, the happiest life possible. Cheers to forever love...and forever friendship!
“We out”! Headed to LOUDOUNville (ironic?) for the VanAtta re-wedding!
What a lovely Hump Day here in Ashburn...gifted with 3 gorgeous displays of flowers! The 2 beautiful ones in the cool glass jars are from one of our faves....THANK YOU Mary for thinking of us and making us smile! The other one is from the lovely and talented Dima, who always creates a beautiful arrangement for me this time of year, courtesy of Dr. Jean-Claude Kharmouche and gang. Thank you to everyone for making our day!!
First there was the pandemic. Then came the dang cicadas. Now it seems my sweet Dynamo has caught a 'parasite'. This one is expected to hatch on New Year's Day. Can't wait to be an Auntie!!!
Can't believe it's been a year since we lost our sweet patient, and friend, Jamie. I have thought of her daily. But, sometimes the world works in mysterious ways....we were still working on Friday when this aired but we could not be MORE proud of this sweet and handsome son of hers! Congratulations Kyle Tinschert on your awesome game-winning goal at Nationals!!!! What an achievement! Mama would be bursting with pride!!!

It's Thankful Tuesday here at Pipeline Plaza. I really have no words for how I felt finally getting the 2nd dose of my Fauci-ouchi. I'm hoping beyond hope it keeps me healthy for a looooong while! I have to send out a special thank you to that awesome unnamed patient who helped me get the initial appointment, since the state system messed up my registration. If not for her, I'd be waiting until the Fall and the thought was terrifying. I also want to thank all of my awesome patients who are volunteering their time at the VAMS vaccination center at Nordstrom. Though I'm sure I don't know all of you who are helping....thank you to my personal nurse and mega-volunteer Alisa Rooney; thank you to Barry Smith, my Paramedic patient who spends every day saving lives in our county, is a fellow COVID survivor, and is now helping vaccinate others; also huge shout outs to Cyd Shelby, Candy Grant, Brendan Rooney, & Christina Haaq for helping our community! Y'all rock!!
Was given these beautiful flowers this afternoon by an equally beautiful soul...someone who's been with me over 15 years and followed me from my last practice. She knows I love bright colors and picked the perfect arrangement! I haven't even opened the card yet but I know it's going to be filled with the kindest sentiment...such a lovely way to end the day. Thank you KJ!
Happy Monday-funday! 😉😁
I tried, America! Tried to donate my plasma so some lucky people can have my army of COVID antibodies, but I was denied due to the blood thinners. Darn it!
Anyways, people have been soooo thoughtful, still, in wishing me well. Two lovely ladies bestowed absolutely gorgeous flowers on me. Lotte brought me these tulips that are absolute perfection--I should take a picture and turn it into art. They were yellow when I got them and the orange has developed in the last 48 hours! The gorgeous bouquet that is sitting on our counter for all to see was from Aimee and the awesome Preast family who contacted me weekly when I was sick, to send well wishes my way. Thank you all SO much for this. It did the trick and has brightened my entire week! 😍💜
March may have dawned today but our February door message still holds true, from now to eternity...! Trust me when I say you DO NOT want this virus!
One year ago, today, was a changing day for this practice! It was the first day of employment for this super-duper-dynamo of mine! The past year been SO full of curveballs, but the biggest one of all was how very much I have come to appreciate, adore, and love my Taryn. She is a gem to my patients and me. I thought she would be the lucky one to receive a few small gifts and a lunch of her choice, but turns out I am the lucky one. She came in with these on-pointe goodies, but the best part of all was her card. Thank you Taryn...I can't say it enough. I can't imagine coming to work without you at the helm!
Always thankful for amazing people in my life who bring a smile to my face. Last week that happened twice...Once from Pamela who never comes empty-handed to an appointment. Thank you for the deliciousness! Twice from Dr. Jean-Claude Kharmouche, by way of the talented and beautiful Dima Faham, for these flowers that truly brightened my day! We love having them on the front desk for all to see. Thank you both for your caring and generosity. 💜
Last night I had an unusual, yet uplifting experience that reminded me there are still good people in our world. After leaving my office, I got through one stoplight only to come upon an accident that had just happened. I saw a man pulling over across the intersection and the one next to me looked as if he was going to stop, too. I was in the turn lane, so I put on my hazards and we all started heading towards these two cars in the middle of a 4-way, 8 lane intersection, in the pitch black, freezing cold of night. It turns out it was 2 young females...one car was totaled, the other had all of the airbags deploy, but I wanted to ensure no one needed medical help. I helped the ladies, the one man was calling EMS, and the other, bless his heart, was trying to direct traffic in the dark. As I looked around I realized it was me, an Indian man, and an African-American man that all made the effort to help these girls. We were gender blind, politically blind, and ethnicity blind. We need more of this in our world! Be the change you want to see..... (Thankfully, the ladies were okay other than being scared to death.) ❤️🤍💙
Another bummer of a day around here...just found out my beloved orthodontist passed away. Dr. Stern is THE reason I went in to dentistry. He was just an amazing man and so kind to all of his patients. Growing up I was a figure skater and half of our rink went to see him. He wasn't near our house...in fact, far from it, but he was worth the trip! He would even come to our rink when we had local competitions to watch us all skate. Who does that?! And, he gets all the credit for my smile..the one I've gotten so many compliments on over the years. He lived a good, long life but it still saddens me. Love, L'chaim 🔯, and rest in peace, Dr. Stern. 🔯💔
Facebook is supposed to be for business, finding new patients, blah, blah, blah. I’ve never been one to subscribe to that and I’m not starting now! I have always used it to show thanks, show final results, or cheer people on. Today is no different, and this post is much more for myself than those around me. Today is day 53…my first day back to work since I fell ill with a severe case of COVID. It has been a 7 week nightmare, one I hope never to repeat, but I have so many people to thank. And so, I’m doing it here—for family, patients, and friends. It’s in no specific order and please forgive me if I forget anyone. It isn’t intentional.

•••And last, but certainly not least…to the BEST thing that happened to me in 2020…my dynamo. Taryn, thank you for keeping this place afloat, for making a literal million calls to cancel 7 weeks’ worth of appointments, for making me laugh when all I wanted to do was cry, and for providing me my own, personal Taryn’s Delivery Service. You are such a g-i-f-t and I love you!
To be very clear, I finally tested negative on day 43 and I did NOT get this at work! We know exactly how it was contracted...unfortunately from dishonest people. So, PPE works! Wear your masks and get vaccinated! That is our wish for all for 2021. I still have a road ahead of me, but I am working my way back into the office. I appreciate everyone’s patience.
Dr. Dina
Hallefrickinlujah! Finally something positive happened!
Today was a great Monday of this Turkey Day week at Pipeline Plaza! I had my very FIRST patient...in all my years of practice now...with the name of Dena! Spelled differently but the same name, nonetheless. Anyways, it's a small thing but it made me smile. :)
Next...can you even stand the awesomeness of these pictures?! I trekked 118 miles, ONE WAY, on Saturday, to see these lovely ladies finnnnalllly get hitched! We were a small group, socially distanced and sporting our masks out on the sand by the lake. Everything went like clockwork. It was a dusk full of smiles and happiness all around! I think by the smiles in the pictures you can say Terri & Dee enjoyed their wedding day! Congratulations again! (And didn't the bouquet and boutonniere crafted by my Taryn just look extraordinary!!!!) 🎊🥳💍💐
The "high" of Friday was our surprise mini-bridal shower for these two brides-to-be! Terri (the one in the checkered pants) became my cashier-go-to at Weggies many years ago. We just hit it off and after many trips through her line she decided to take a chance and become my patient. Many more years later we have become true friends!! Once her now-fiancee came along, she had no choice but to join in our little dental sorority....and the rest is history.
Anyways, Taryn and I did a dang good job on Operation Undercover Bridal Shower and even managed to pull off some car decor to boot! My little dynamo also made this gorgeous bouquet, as requested, for the wedding!
These 2 ladies have had a long, often tough road in life and we are so happy for them! Can't wait to attend another patient wedding...how many tooth docs are that lucky?! Mazel Tov to Terri and Dee...wish them congrats. and good weather for their nuptials next weekend!!!!!

That's a wrap! Another successful case and a happy, beautiful patient! This lovely lady had crowns of different colors on her front teeth, her two center teeth were angled slightly towards the corners of her mouth, and the front six teeth were inconsistent in their size, shape, and positioning. We created lifelike restorations that are appropriately sized and follow the natural curvature of her smile. Her smile just makes me smile!
Here's a little somethin' I just completed on this lovely lady! Unlike those zany t.v. commercials, this DID NOT happen in a day. It took a lot of time and meticulous planning (and willing patient), but that led to these great results. As you can see, she had a severely deep bite with her upper teeth completely covering her lower teeth. She had broken, missing, and decayed teeth, broken crowns, and overlapping upper front teeth. Her treatment consisted of: -Extractions -Lower arch ridge reduction -Bite opening -Implants -New crowns -Implant crowns -Veneers -Teeth whitening My lab and I created beautiful, natural restorations that reestablished her collapsed bite to a normal position and gave her an award-winning smile. What a life-changer!!! **A special thank you to Dr. Maharaj of Lansdowne Oral Surgery for helping me give my patient the smile she's wanted for decades.**
