Known for her compassionate approach and dedication to excellence, Dr. Elnagdy builds strong relationships with her patients, ensuring that each treatment plan is tailored to meet individual needs and support long-term oral health.
Dr. Elnagdy earned her degree in Dental Medicine in 2017 from the University of Sharjah School of Dental Medicine in the United Arab Emirates. Following graduation, she was selected as a research scholar at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, where she worked under the guidance of Prof. Mark Herzberg, former president of the American Association for Dental Research. Her research focused on host-microbial interactions from the perspective of oral biofilm–deepening her understanding of the connection between periodontal health and overall well-being.
Dr. Elnagdy pursued specialty training in Periodontics at the University of Minnesota, earning both a Certificate in Periodontics and a Master’s degree in Oral Biology in 2022. During her residency, she contributed to multiple research projects and published in peer-reviewed journals.

Now residing in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Dr. Elnagdy recognized a significant shortage of periodontists in both Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Driven by a desire to expand access to specialized care, she founded Menominee Advanced Periodontics & Implant Center. Strategically located in Menominee, Michigan, her practice is designed to serve a broader community of patients who deserve the highest quality periodontal care.
