Dental Assistant Marcela Miranda believes that life is always better when we are laughing. Subsequently, she knows the value of a beautiful, healthy smile—and that oral health is directly related to a person’s overall health.

A native of Brazil, Marcela was trained in dentistry and practiced there as a General Dentist. However, in 2013, she spent time in the U.S. visiting her family and began exploring the possibility of relocating and embarking on a career in dentistry here. Marcela was impressed by the modern dental technology and advanced techniques in the U.S., as well as the level of respect dentistry commands here. She realized a move to the States would not only allow her to be closer to her loved ones, but also to practice dentistry in a different way. So, she made the leap and soon after became a Certified Dental Assistant. Next, Marcela plans to pursue her DMD in order to practice General Dentistry again, and she is grateful to have Dr. Bedi as a mentor.

Marcela is very dedicated to the well-being of her patients. She takes the time to learn about them as individuals and values the opportunity to help patients feel at ease in the dental chair. She also admires her coworkers and their collective commitment to the practice, each other, and each patient’s health and comfort.

Marcela currently lives in Framingham, MA with her husband. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, particularly on Sundays with a Brazilian barbecue! She also loves dancing and exploring new places while traveling with her husband.
