Ayi · RDH · Founder
Washington D.C. whitening & wax specialist
Ayi is a registered dental hygienist who turned years of clinical chairside work into Sophisticated Glow — a Rockville, MD studio built around one promise: I help you GLOW your skin & smile. Teeth whitening, tooth gems and body waxing, all under one roof, with clients leaving 4–6 shades brighter in a single visit.
The studio philosophy
Whitening is the finish, not the foundation. Every appointment starts with your gums and enamel — because a bright smile on inflamed tissue never photographs the way you hoped. Ayi will tell you when to whiten, when to wait, and exactly what your enamel can hold.
Beyond the chair
Ayi has appeared on Fox 5's Good Day DC, teaches oral-health basics to a community of nearly 2,000 followers on Instagram, and curates a full at-home oral care line — whitening pens, LED kits and tooth powder — through the Sophisticated Glow shop.

What she wants you to know
Look at your overall health
Pregnancy, diabetes and low vitamin C can all affect gum health, even with a perfect routine.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush
Hard bristles cause gum trauma. Angle it 45° toward the gum line and clean in small circles.
Floss the right way
Swipe-and-go isn't enough. The C-shape method hugs the tooth and gets under the gum line.
