Dr. Bela and Dr. Garry Levingart understand this unique landscape. Their three decades of experience creating beautiful smiles for discerning Manhattan patients has honed their ability to blend science and artistry seamlessly.

Cosmetic Dental Services We Offer
We provide a comprehensive range of cosmetic treatments to address virtually any aesthetic concern.
Porcelain Veneers in Manhattan
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that cover the front surface of your teeth, creating a flawless appearance. This versatile treatment addresses multiple cosmetic issues simultaneously.
Ideal use cases:
- Correcting discolored teeth that don’t respond to whitening
- Closing gaps between teeth
- Repairing chipped or worn teeth
- Addressing minor misalignment without orthodontics
- Creating uniformly shaped, symmetrical teeth
Why choose porcelain veneers Manhattan:
High-quality porcelain veneers last 10-15 years or more, resist staining, and look remarkably natural. When crafted by skilled cosmetic dentists using premium materials, dental veneers Manhattan patients receive are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Teeth Whitening Treatments
Professional teeth whitening offers dramatic results that drugstore products simply cannot match. We provide multiple whitening options to fit your schedule and preferences.
In-office whitening:
- Brighten your smile 3-8 shades in just one 60-90 minute appointment
- Professional-strength whitening gel with protective application
- Ideal for special events or when you need fast results
Take-home whitening kits:
- Custom trays that fit precisely to your teeth
- Professional-grade whitening gel for use at home
- Gradual whitening over 1-2 weeks
- Perfect for maintaining results or for patients with sensitivity
Our teeth whitening Manhattan treatments are supervised by experienced dentists who ensure your safety and optimal results.
Invisalign & Clear Aligners
For adults who want straighter teeth without the appearance of traditional braces, Invisalign offers a discreet, comfortable solution.
Why Manhattan professionals choose clear aligners:
- Virtually invisible—most people won’t notice you’re straightening your teeth
- Removable for eating, drinking, and important meetings
- Comfortable smooth plastic with no metal brackets or wires
- Predictable results typically achieved in 12-18 months
Invisalign Manhattan treatment works beautifully for busy professionals who want to improve their smile without interrupting their image or lifestyle.
Dental Bonding & Contouring
Sometimes small imperfections require simple solutions. Dental bonding provides quick, affordable fixes for minor cosmetic concerns.
What dental bonding Manhattan can address:
- Small chips or cracks
- Minor gaps between teeth
- Slight discoloration or staining
- Irregular tooth shapes
- Exposed tooth roots from gum recession
Bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin that’s sculpted and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Most bonding procedures can be completed in a single appointment.
Smile Makeovers & Full Smile Design
For comprehensive transformation, smile makeovers combine multiple cosmetic treatments to completely redesign your smile.
What smile makeover Manhattan includes:
A customized combination of:
- Porcelain veneers for front teeth
- Teeth whitening for overall brightness
- Dental crowns to restore damaged teeth
- Invisalign to correct alignment
- Gum contouring to improve gum line
- Dental implants to replace missing teeth
