Read full description

Aesthetic Dentistry of New York is a general and cosmetic dental practice on East 58th Street in the Midtown East neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. The office brings everyday dentistry together with a wide range of cosmetic and restorative treatment at one Midtown location.

General dentistry forms the foundation of the practice — comprehensive examinations, professional cleanings, tooth-colored fillings, and monitoring for tooth decay and gum disease. Consistent preventive care is the most dependable way to keep teeth and gums healthy over the long term.

The practice is known for cosmetic dentistry, offering treatments that change how a smile looks — teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, cosmetic crowns and bridges, and full smile makeovers that combine several treatments into one coordinated plan. CAD/CAM technology supports precise, well-fitted restorations.

For patients who need restorative or functional treatment, the office also provides dental implants, orthodontic options including Invisalign clear aligners, gum-disease and periodontal care, and treatment for concerns such as TMJ/TMD jaw pain, sleep apnea, and teeth grinding. Sedation dentistry options are available for patients who feel anxious or are scheduled for longer appointments.

Having general, cosmetic, and specialty care under one roof means a patient can often have several types of treatment coordinated at a single practice rather than being referred between offices.

A new-patient visit usually begins with a thorough examination and a discussion of the patient’s goals before any treatment is planned.

For patients planning cosmetic treatment, having it carried out by the same practice that handles their routine and restorative care keeps the whole plan coordinated, so decisions about veneers, whitening, or a smile makeover are made with a full picture of the patient’s overall dental health.

The East 58th Street location is convenient to the surrounding Midtown East neighborhoods and is served by several nearby subway lines. You can review Aesthetic Dentistry of New York’s services and contact details on this page and reach the office directly to request an appointment.

How to Choose a Dentist in New York City

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 2, 2026Independently reviewed

Orthodontic specialists in New York City — the highest concentration of ABO Diplomate orthodontists in the United States — serve the most clinically complex and culturally diverse adult orthodontic patient market in the country. The New York City adult orthodontic patient includes the thirty-five-year-old Midtown finance professional treating a Class II Division 2 deep bite that was never corrected in childhood, the forty-two-year-old Dominican-American in Washington Heights completing the comprehensive correction that the adolescent braces started and the family's relocation to the US interrupted, and the fifty-year-old Park Avenue professional whose relapse from untreated childhood orthodontics is the aesthetic concern that a decade of building career income has finally made addressable. NYU College of Dentistry's orthodontic residency and Columbia University College of Dental Medicine's graduate orthodontic programme together produce more ABO-track orthodontic graduates per year than any other metropolitan dental market, sustaining a practitioner density that maintains competition-calibrated quality across the five boroughs.

Smyleee evaluated NYC orthodontic specialists on ABO Diplomate or residency-trained board-eligible credentials, direct attending supervision of all active treatment mechanics, adult Class II and Class III complex case capability including surgical-orthodontic coordination, New York Medicaid orthodontic billing for eligible adolescents, multilingual consultation capability across the city's primary patient languages, and correction stability consistency at the two-year post-retention assessment. These ten NYC practices are the orthodontists the data confirmed as most reliably delivering specialist-quality comprehensive orthodontic management across the full range of New York City's diverse and clinically demanding patient community.
