I am Belanne Estime-Jerome, born and raised in Saint Louis du Nord, Haiti. My story is rooted in love, legacy, and purpose. My Haitian-born parents met in Florida in the 1970s, married, and welcomed my older sister before returning to Haiti in the mid-1980s. Their dream was to raise us in Haiti, instilling strong values and culture, while giving us the opportunity to pursue higher education abroad and ultimately reach for the American Dream.

Since childhood, I have always been passionate about dentistry. I began my professional journey by earning my Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) degree from the prestigious Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra. In my final year of dental school, I was selected to lead a group of six peers for our thesis research on dental staff’s exposure to X-ray radiation. Our research was recognized and awarded by the university—a proud moment that affirmed my path.

My curiosity and love for languages blossomed through international travels and living in diverse environments. I am a polyglot, fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, and Haitian Creole. Working in multicultural settings allows me to seamlessly switch languages like clockwork, helping me connect meaningfully with patients from all walks of life.

In 2013, love brought me back to the United States, where I married my soulmate. I revalidated my doctorate in the U.S. and completed a residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University of Florida (UF). Today, I am a double board-certified dentist with advanced training in cosmetic, implant, and orthodontic dentistry, and hold certifications in Invisalign®, Botox®, and dermal fillers.

With over a decade of experience, my clinical focus is on cosmetic dentistry, progressive orthodontic therapy (including traditional braces and Invisalign), and advanced restorative care. I believe that compassion is key to building lasting relationships with my patients, colleagues, and community.

Outside of dentistry, I cherish time with my family, love swimming, traveling, dancing, and attending music festivals. I’m deeply inspired by diverse cultures and seek to learn from every environment and person I encounter.
