When you step into our dental office, instead of being greeted by a tile floor bathed in overly-bright fluorescent light, the first thing your senses will detect will be the pleasing smell coming from our coffee bar.

Basically, our goal is to take the stress out of your dental care right from the very beginning.
For Dr. Gersten, nothing makes her happier than to help her patients feel completely comfortable while they receive high-quality dental care. She and her husband, Dr. Parli, have put a lot of time and effort into creating a dental office that looks and feels more like a home rather than your average sterile dental clinic. To her, its the little details that really matter, especially when it comes to improving peoples lives through dentistry! She cant wait to meet you and your loved ones, but first, you can learn a little more about her below.
Dr. Gersten actually started her college career as an art major, but she was always really interested in science as well. She ended up taking just as many science courses as art ones! A love for both, along with being a natural people-person, made her an absolutely perfect fit for dentistry. She had a little guidance in her career choice as well, as her older sister was a dentist at the time (she eventually retired to become a full-time musician). Now, she couldnt be happier with her chosen profession and looks forward to practicing for many more years.
After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree from Northeastern University, she obtained her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the SUNY at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. Shortly afterward, she completed a postgraduate dental education residency at St. Charles Hospital, working primarily with elderly and developmentally disabled patients. She has a true passion for geriatric dentistry because oral health becomes increasingly important as we age. She is actually a Special Care Dentistry Association member and served previously on its Geriatric Board. She is a current member of the following organizations:
Dr. Gersten likes to stay busy spending time with her husband, their two sons, and two dogs, but she also enjoys kayaking, going to the beach, and baking whenever she can. She and her younger son also raise oysters in the Tiana Bay!
Dr. Parlis career in the oral healthcare field spans well over two decades now, and theres nothing he enjoys more than being able to help his patients smile brighter here at Beach Dental. He and Dr. Gersten (his wife) have worked diligently to create a uniquely comfortable and welcoming atmosphere that feels more like someones living room than an overly sterile clinic setting. He looks forward to giving you and your loved ones the gorgeous, healthy smiles you all deserve! Before that, you can start getting to know him by reading on below.
From a young age, Dr. Parli loved the idea of being able to mix art and science for his career and dentistry seemed like the perfect fit! The ability to help people improve not only their health but also make their smiles look truly beautiful using his artistic ability still fills him with a great sense of pride every single day.
After attending Hobart College for his undergraduate degree, Dr. Parli achieved his Doctor of Dental Surgery at SUNY Buffalo State in 1996. He then completed a General Practice Residency at Jackson Memorial Hospital through the University of Miami the following year. Constantly striving to expand his knowledge and skill, he maintains active memberships in the following professional organizations:
Dr. Parli is proud to have Dr. Gersten as his beautiful, intelligent wife, as well as two talented sons. His top priority outside of work is spending quality time with his family. He also loves outdoor activities, including playing golf, running, swimming, and going to the beach. He regularly volunteers with the local Rotary Club as well. An interesting fact about him: hes lived in eight different states throughout his life so far!
