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."
