About Us
Elite Dental was born out of the shared experiences of twins, Dr. Lana and Dr. Elsie Bardavid. Both passionate dentists committed to excellence in their field. Early in their careers, they recognized that operating a dental practice presented unique challenges. Complex clinical cases, managing a business, and often facing decisions in isolation—even though they had each other for support as twins. Realizing that many colleagues might feel the same way, they began meeting informally, both in person and virtually, with a small group of fellow dentists to discuss these challenges. Together, they explored treatment options, shared patient management strategies, and offered support in both professional and personal matters. The collective wisdom, encouragement, and connections they gained were invaluable.
