From the practice
"The best cosmetic dentistry is invisible. Our patients leave the chair looking like themselves — only as they were always meant to look."
Dr. Sarah Chen Founder & Lead Cosmetic Dentist
The practitioners

Three featured profiles.

Profile · I

Dr. Sarah Chen

Founder · Cosmetic dentistry

Trained at NYU College of Dentistry. Founded Aria in 2009 with a conviction that cosmetic dentistry, properly practised, is a craft — closer to fine furniture than to medicine. Fifteen years and over two thousand cases later, that conviction has only deepened.

"I want patients to walk away looking like a better version of themselves — not someone else entirely."

Dr. Michael Okafor

Orthodontics

Board-certified orthodontist with postgraduate training from Penn Dental. Specializes in adult Invisalign cases and complex bite reconstructions. Active in continuing education and frequently invited to lecture.

"Adult orthodontics has come of age. The right plan is invisible — and life-changing."

Dr. Priya Raman

Oral & maxillofacial surgery

Oral surgeon with over twenty-four hundred completed implant cases. Renowned for full-arch reconstructions and bone grafting in compromised cases. Columbia graduate, methodical to the point of becoming legendary in the practice.

"In implant surgery, the difference between adequate and exceptional is decades — measurable in how the work ages."

Patient interviews

From those we've cared for.

Voices · Vol. XV
Patient · 2024
David R.
Porcelain veneers
★★★★★
I had veneers done at three different practices before finding Aria. The difference was immediate and obvious — finally, work that looks like teeth, not a film prop. They listened first, and only proposed treatment after they understood what I was actually trying to achieve.

Emily M.
Complete smile design
★★★★★
Dr. Chen took two hours for my initial consultation — at any other practice that would have been three appointments. She explained options I didn't know existed and showed me previews before I committed to anything. The result is, quite genuinely, beautiful.

Sana K.
Full-arch reconstruction
★★★★★
Dr. Raman placed six implants for me over twelve months. Quiet, methodical, and the most reassuring surgeon I have ever encountered. The result has been life-changing — and the practice has supported me at every step since.
