Orthodontist | University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (Rutgers School of Dental Medicine)

Dr. Lekht believes that everyone deserves to smile with confidence and truly loves being an orthodontist! Creating beautiful, healthy smiles is her passion, and seeing the transformation her patients experience is beyond rewarding. Her goal is to make every patient feel comfortable, informed and genuinely cared for—from their very first visit to their final smile.

Dr. Lekht began her post-secondary education at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, where she majored in Biological Sciences and Psychology.  She was selected for the prestigious BA/DMD program and went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, now Rutgers School of Dental Medicine.

Following dental school, Dr. Lekht completed a General Practice Residency at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. After serving as an attending dentist at the hospital, Dr. Lekht completed three additional years of specialized training in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. She earned both her Certificate in Orthodontics and Master of Dental Science degree at UMDNJ.

Dr. Lekht is an identical twin and is very close to her sister, Svetlana. Svetlana is also an orthodontist, practicing in the United States.  Much to their husbands’ amusement, they manage to speak with each other several times a day—and somehow never run out of things to talk about!  In her spare time, Dr. Lekht enjoys travelling, discovering new foods, working out, and spending time with her husband, family, and friends.
