Dr. Emanuela Corielli was born and raised in Milan, Italy, where she earned her medical degree summa cum laude from the University of Milan. Though passionate about medicine, she discovered her true calling in pediatric dentistry after spending time in a friend’s dental practice and witnessing the unique trust children bring to their care.

After meeting Dr. Steven Moss, Chair of Pediatric Dentistry at NYU, she moved to New York, earned her dental degree from NYU, and completed specialty training in pediatric dentistry. For the past 18 years, Dr. Corielli has cared exclusively for children, combining her medical background with a deep understanding of their emotional and developmental needs.

She is also a dedicated educator, teaching at NYU’s Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Weill Cornell’s Pediatric Dental Clinic. In founding Bright Healthy Smiles, Dr. Corielli created a warm, prevention-focused dental home where children feel safe, valued, and cared for with compassion.

Fluent in Italian and French and learning Spanish, Dr. Corielli is grateful to work in a field she loves, surrounded by an incredible team and the families who trust them.
