I began my journey at South Shore Prosthodontics in 2012 as a dental assistant. My chairside experience in both, the restorative and the surgical fields, allowed me to understand a broad range of clinical procedures. Moreover, I developed a strong relationship with all our patients, which I believe is one of the main reason I appreciate my work every day.
Aside from enjoying the environment that we strive to create in our practice, our patients are wonderful, our training is continuous, and Drs. Khayat and Becerras desire for our team to succeed in all our goals is always so gratifying.
I grew up in Bradford, NH and moved to Hull when I was 15 years old. I moved to Florida and attended dental hygiene school in 2008. I married my husband, Gilbert, in June 2015. We live in Weymouth with our two dogs.
My interest in dentistry started when I received braces as a teenager. Both my hygienist and dentist were very helpful and showed a genuine interest in my future. I am truly grateful for their knowledge and support, and Id give them credit for starting me on the path of dentistry.
Since becoming a dental hygienist I have worked in Northern Virginia and Massachusetts. I have been with South Shore Prosthodontics since 2012. I get immense satisfaction from developing close relationships with my patients and offering reliable and meticulous care, with a little charm too.
I was raised in Braintree, MA and worked in a number of roles included importing Audi and Volkswagen cars. This job led me to move to Mexico for five years, where I learned Spanish and enjoyed being part of a new culture. I returned back to Braintree and set off on my career in dentistry.
My first step into dentistry was because of a close friend who recommended the field. So, I attended Dental Assistant training and have not looked back. I am a certified and licensed dental assistant in Massachusetts, certified in CPR, infection control, and HIPAA. Prior to joining South Shore Prosthodontics, I gained experience in general dentistry, endodontics, and pediatric dentistry.
Willing and eager to try new experiences and consider new ideas, display high willingness to help others at work, and able to develop close relationships with patients by ensuring that their experience here in the office goes smoothly each time.
I have seen both Drs. Khayat and Becerra for various services over the last year. They come highly recommended from friends in the industry. They both have terrific patient skills, made uncomfortable procedures easy and painless, and the experience with the whole staff was great. I cant say enough good things about them and this office.
Led by our husband and wife team, our office team feels more like family than just colleagues. This unity trickles down to our patients too as we all enjoy developing lasting relationships built on open communication and mutual trust. We all love what we do and are proud to welcome you as friends and family!

Dr. Khayat grew up near Paris, France and speaks both English and French. He moved to the US in 2001 to further his dental career and become a prosthodontist. He has a particular interest in digital dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and full mouth rehabilitation. When at Boston University, he met his wife, Dr. Becerra. They were both undertaking specialty programs in dentistry. Now, they have two children, Natalia and Lucas, and call Hingham, MA their home.
Our caring dentist in Hingham chose dentistry because first and foremost he loves to make people smile and feel happy. Secondly, he has always been the fixer in his family because of his attention to details and desire to work with his hands. Dentistry helped him combine these passions and became a natural fit.
Since becoming a dentist, Dr. Khayat has been able to connect with his patients and build long-lasting relationships. His honest, attentive concern and trustworthy nature endear him to our patients. Our doctor loves to see patients leave the office with a big smile knowing he has helped in some way.
Such a great place! Dr. Khayat and the staff are wonderful, educated, and incredibly caring. If you're looking for a new dentist that is amazing but also stays up to date with continuing education, I highly recommend SSP!
Dr. Becerra was born and raised in Spain and is fluent in both English and Spanish. She received her dental degree in Madrid in 2000 and graduated from her specialty in Periodontology at Boston University in 2004. She has continued to take strides in dentistry ever since.
As a board-certified periodontist, she is able to guide our patients toward improved gum health through innovative procedures. She has vast experience in gum surgeries, dental implants, and bone grafting procedures, and utilizes a delicate, knowledgeable approach.
Before beginning a procedure that was going to be lengthy, possibly uncomfortable, and more expensive, Dr. Becerra took the time to consult and ascertain my needs. She then helped guide me toward the solution that would fit my needs best and most simply. She and Dr. Khayat are great!
