Dr. Mita A. Parikh is a passionate board certified orthodontist with extensive experience in the field. From a young age, Dr. Parikh had a desire to pursue a career in dental care. That’s why after graduating high school, she chose to attend Muhlenberg College/University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine 3-4 Bio-Dental Program. This accelerated program allowed Dr. Parikh to achieve her Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology in just three years, followed by earning her Doctor of Dental Medicine Degree in four years.

After dental school, Dr. Parikh completed a one-year general dentistry residency at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, NY. There, Dr. Parikh gained invaluable experience, learning about the vast components of oral health that impact a person’s overall wellness. Her training on the scope of dentistry allowed her to expand her skills in oral and maxillofacial surgery, fixed and removable prosthetics (including dental implants), cosmetic dentistry, limited pedodontics, periodontics and endodontics.

She then completed a postgraduate program in orthodontics at the New York University College of Dentistry, where she received her certificate in orthodontics. During her orthodontic training, Dr. Parikh actively participated in diagnosing and treating various degrees of malocclusions, dedicating the majority of her time to acquiring extensive clinical expertise. Her clinical exposure encompassed a wide range of experiences, including collaborating on multidisciplinary treatment plans and closely collaborating with the orthognathic surgery department and the craniofacial team.
