Est. Long Island · Members-built
A public directory, a running record of who's graduating, who's opening a practice, and who's hosting the next iftar — one place, built by the network, for the network.
MDNLI started as a group chat of a dozen dentists who kept running into each other at the same masjid, the same CE courses, the same Long Island study clubs. That WhatsApp group is about three years old now and barely gets used. This site is a lower-effort way to stay a real network — a public directory a patient (or another dentist) can actually search, instead of a chat nobody opens.
Every section below started as a request from a member. It's still being built — new pieces go up as we need them.
Open to the public. Filter by specialty or town, and click through to a member's practice website.
Connecting pre-dentals, dental students, and residents with local practice owners across Long Island.
Current network members preparing for dental school, in dental school, or in specialty residency programs.
Request shadowing opportunities at local member practices across Nassau and Suffolk County to complete your clinical hours.
Access DAT study schedules, application breakdowns, and DAT prep strategies contributed by current dental students.
Look for cards tagged with the "✉ Available for Mentorship" badge across our member directory and student roster to connect directly.
Study clubs, Eid gatherings, family picnics — RSVP and see who's already going.
Not members — outside professionals who work with several MDNLI practices. Listed here rather than buried in a group chat.
