Dr. Nicole Teplitz chose to be a dentist because she wanted to help others in a multitude of ways; from something as simple as relieving pain or something as great as raising self esteem. She grew up in Florida where earned her bachelor’s degree in Biology with a minor in Ceramics from Jacksonville University. She received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from New York University College of Dentistry. Dental school gave Dr. Teplitz the opportunity to hone her skills in becoming a compassionate and skilled provider.

While attending dental school, she traveled to San Juan Arcos Ojo de Agua, Mexico for an outreach trip, working with an NYUCD led-team to provide dental treatment to 50+ patients per day. After graduating from dental school, Dr. Teplitz completed a General Practice Residency at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. During this time, Dr. Nicole specialized in hospital and emergency dentistry, and worked with medically complex patients. She trained alongside medical doctors and oral surgeons to better understand the full body implications of oral disease and how to provide the best comprehensive care to her patients. She then went on to complete a second year of residency as Chief Resident at Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center.

All of this training has allowed her to combine her passion of helping others with the skill set of providing dental treatment to help improve the oral and overall health of her patients.

In her free time she loves to play recreational sports with her husband and friends, spend quality time with friends and family (including her 3 pet cats and 1 lizard), and travel into New York City to explore new restaurants and things to do.

Being an orthodontist is extremely rewarding; I have the ability to form a personal bond with a diverse group of patients where we are able to learn from each other. I feel fortunate that I am in a position to help others, and love knowing that what I do has a positive impact on so many peoples' lives. Having had a positive experience with braces when I was younger, I knew that someday I wanted to share the same experience with others.

As patients advance through their treatment, it's wonderful to see their confidence grow. Each patient is seen in their own private treatment room where they can express their concerns confidentially to me and know that I will personally take care of them each step of the way. It is this close interpersonal relationship and the importance of gaining their trust that is essential to an excellent treatment result. I feel lucky knowing that each day I go to work, I will be making someone smile!

Orthodontics is a lifelong passion

I work with patients of all ages - children, teens, and adults - to help each person achieve their individual goals of having a beautiful smile. I enjoy listening to my patients, and discussing with them what they'd like to accomplish during their treatment. When their treatment is complete, I enjoy seeing how happy and proud they are of their new smile, and how much their confidence and self-esteem have grown. I am truly passionate about what I do, and I believe that orthodontic treatment should be fun and rewarding. Everybody deserves to smile.

Outside of the practice

I am originally from Valhalla, New York, and have lived in Dutchess County for several years. My wife, Sejal, and I have one daughter, named Priya. When I'm not at the practice, I enjoy biking, running, playing tennis, and reading a good book! I stay involved in my community by giving presentations at local elementary schools to promote the importance of oral hygiene and dentistry to children so that they get a good start on a lifetime of healthy smiling. I've also had the opportunity to share my love of dentistry around the world by traveling to the Amazon in Peru and providing dental care to patients who had never seen a dentist before in their lives.
