Holistic and biocompatible dentistry near City Hall
Smyleee Rating
Rated
Dr. Lewis Gross DDS is a holistic dental practice at 17 Park Place in lower Manhattan, near City Hall, the Civic Center, and the Financial District. Dr. Gross and Dr. A. Nagy lead the practice, which approaches dental care through a holistic and integrative lens, prioritizing biocompatible materials, minimally invasive techniques, and a view of oral health that connects to the patient’s broader physical wellbeing.
Preventive care at the practice includes professional dental cleanings and comprehensive oral examinations performed with a detail-oriented approach. Karl Dixon, the practice’s hygienist, performs thorough periodontal evaluations as part of each cleaning visit, with particular attention to gum tissue health and systemic indicators visible during a dental exam. Dr. Gross has actively updated his practice’s knowledge and techniques over the years, and the team incorporates current evidence-based holistic dentistry practices.
The holistic orientation of this practice means that biocompatible, non-mercury materials are preferred for restorations, and treatment decisions favor the least invasive approach that appropriately addresses the clinical issue. Patients who are looking to replace old mercury amalgam fillings with ceramic alternatives will find this practice equipped and philosophically aligned for that kind of work. Standard restorative dental services are also available for patients who need more conventional care.
Dr. Nagy has been noted for listening carefully to patients’ concerns before examining or treating, providing a thorough explanation of the options available, and refraining from recommending procedures the patient does not need. Patients who have come for second opinions on treatment plans from other practices have found this practice willing to offer an honest independent assessment.
The practice has experience with patients who have special needs or who require a particularly patient and careful clinical approach, including children and adults with conditions that make standard dental visits more challenging. Dr. Gross’s team has successfully managed dental treatment for patients in situations where other providers had not been able to proceed without general anesthesia.
Park Place is close to the City Hall — Fulton Center subway hub, served by the 2/3, A/C, E, J/Z, and R trains. The location is accessible from Tribeca, the Financial District, and the broader lower Manhattan area, as well as from Brooklyn via the nearby subway connections to Jay Street and Downtown Brooklyn.

Dr. Gross is not just a great doctor, he is very kind and understanding person as well. Thanks to him my special needs son was able to go through tooth treatment without general sedation. He is very open mind and very cooperative doctor! I was impressed by his personality! Not mentioning that he saved his tooth from route canal treatment….thank God I found him!
I went to Dr. Gross's office after I had seen another so called holistic dentist and was immediately impressed by the service and responsiveness I received as soon as I arrived. Dr. A. Nagy sat down with me, listened to my concerns, and discussed my best options. He didn't try to sell me anything or force me into doing a procedure I didn't want or need. He was extremely responsive and open to my needs. He went through all the options available and went out of his way to make sure I received the best possible dental care that I could have. He is an Artist and Craftsman, as well as a Doctor, who takes great pride in his work. I have never experienced a Dentist who was as passionate about what they do as Dr. Nagy. I really can't say enough good things about this Dentist or this Dental practice. The staff are exceptional as well. They are extremely warm and genuinely friendly. They go out of their way to help you and get you all the information you need so that you can make the best decision about your dental health. You can tell that this is a top notch practice by the exceptional people that make up this practice. I couldn't recommend it enough! Thank you all for what is probably the best Dental experience I have ever had. Edward
Wonderful, caring dentist! Dr Gross has provided excellent care for my whole family for years. He has given us healthy, non-invasive options with which we have thrived. Yet this is also a place where you can receive traditional dental work when needed. I'm so happy with our dental and overall health, and it is much due to the expertise of Karl Dixon, superb hygienist, and Dr Gross's wise choices!
I went to Dr. Lewis Gross years ago to replace two mercury amalgams with ceramic fillings. He first put two temporary fillings which felt fine, but when it was time to replace those with the permanent ceramic fillings, he shaved the tops off my natural teeth off, leaving my bite completely changed and in a lot of pain, as my molars on one side did not touch anymore, and the canines were pounding on each other. I had to go to 3 dentists and have 4 dentist appointments to get that fixed. The error was so blantant, that I am surprised he has any positive review. If you are looking for a truly holistic dentist, I recoment Dr. Martha Cortés.
Fantastic experience at this dentist! They truly have a holistic approach. Kat was so helpful booking our appointments and the doctor was fantastic providing meaningful health tips to better care for our teeth and overall well-being. I highly recommend. I've been to numerous holistic dentists and this is one of the best.
