About Shalom Dental
Two dedicated doctors. A team that genuinely cares. A commitment to gentle, advanced dental care that puts every patient first.
A Practice Built on Genuine, Patient-First Care
Shalom Dental was founded on a simple belief: every patient deserves to feel comfortable, heard, and cared for — not rushed through an appointment or pressured into treatment.
We are a boutique dental practice serving the Upper West Side of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Our focus is on high-quality cosmetic and restorative dentistry — dental implants, Invisalign, and veneers — as well as comprehensive general dental care for the whole family.
We are not a high-volume practice. We take time with every patient, answer every question, and deliver results we are genuinely proud of.
- Columbia University and NYU trained doctors

Our Core Values
Everything we do — from how we answer the phone to how we plan your treatment — is shaped by a set of values we hold deeply.
Genuine Compassion
We understand that visiting the dentist can feel stressful. Our team is trained to listen, explain, and support every patient from the first call to the final appointment.
Clinical Excellence
We never cut corners. Our doctors trained at Columbia and NYU, maintain active continuing education, and use the most advanced techniques available in modern dentistry.
Personalized Care
There is no one-size-fits-all treatment plan here. We spend time understanding your goals and design every care plan specifically for you — never a template.
Transparency
We believe in clear communication. Before any treatment begins, you will know exactly what to expect — the procedure, the timeline, the cost, and your insurance coverage.
Continuous Improvement
Both of our doctors are committed to staying current with the latest advances in dental technology, materials, and techniques through ongoing education and training.
Accessibility
Quality dental care should be accessible to everyone. We accept most PPO insurance plans and offer CareCredit financing to make treatment affordable for every patient.
Skilled, Compassionate, Dedicated to Your Smile
Our doctors combine elite academic training with a deep commitment to personalized, patient-first care.
