Building Authority for a Leading NYC Dentist

Lux Smiles NYC is the vision of Dr. Nicole Khalife, a highly trained general and cosmetic dentist. With degrees from Villanova University and Stony Brook, and clinical experience from Mount Sinai, Dr. Khalife brings top-tier care to every smile.

But even with outstanding credentials and a beautiful office in Manhattan, media visibility was still missing from her brand. That’s where we came in.

Dr. Khalife wanted to build trust, attract new clients, and position herself as a thought leader in the dental and wellness space.

A Targeted Digital PR Approach

We knew we needed more than just local mentions—we needed national lifestyle coverage with serious readership.

Here’s what we did:

• Built a media-ready expert profile for Dr. Khalife, emphasizing her cosmetic expertise and advanced training in invisible braces, dental implants, and root canal therapy.
• Monitored lifestyle and health journalist queries across multiple platforms.
• Pitched timely, topical insights around dental health, migraines, and daily habits that damage teeth.
• Responded quickly to high-traffic opportunities and followed up with journalists to increase placements and syndication reach.

Media Features in Top-Tier Publications

Dr. Khalife’s expertise landed her—and Lux Smiles NYC—in some of the largest media outlets in the world, including:

🦷 Real Simple – "9 Habits That Are Ruining Your Teeth"

🧠 People – "8 Surprising Migraine Triggers, from Those Who Know"

📰 Yahoo! Lifestyle – Global syndications in the US, UK, Canada, Malaysia, and Australia

These stories didn't just feature quotes—they positioned Dr. Khalife as a health expert for millions of readers seeking real, trusted advice. Her insights were often highlighted alongside medical doctors and wellness influencers, elevating her brand across multiple audience demographics.

Results That Drive Trust and Traffic

Although the campaign was tightly focused, it packed a powerful punch:

• 6 major backlinks earned, with average DR of 85
• Syndication to 7 different Yahoo! platforms, including the UK, Canada, Australia, and Malaysia
• 13.7 million total audience reach
• Tangible media credibility that Dr. Khalife now displays proudly on her site and socials

This kind of high-trust coverage builds lasting SEO value—and even more importantly for a service-based business—it builds reputation.

Digital PR Campaign Takeaways

For service providers like dentists, trust is everything.

Getting featured in People or Yahoo isn’t just good for SEO—it’s the kind of authority that makes patients book that first appointment. It makes Google trust your domain, and it gives you third-party credibility in one of the world’s most competitive industries.

With only 6 links, Lux Smiles NYC broke through the media noise and became a nationally recognized name in dental wellness.
