My name is Dr. Alex Shalman, and I am a cosmetic dentist in New York City and New Jersey. I am also a fifth-generation dentist. Since my great-great-grandmother finished dental school in 1917 to become one of the first female dentists in Moscow, Russia, my family has been practicing dentistry for nearly 100 years. I am the first male dentist.
I am obsessed with aesthetic, reconstructive and cosmetic dentistry, and I specialize in designing beautiful, healthy smiles with innovative technology. My desire for knowledge and belief in constant and never-ending improvement has led me to meet and learn cutting-edge dentistry from some of the most prominent dental professionals in the world, also well-known as one of the best cosmetic dentists. My involvement in the dental community includes teaching at my alma mater NYUCD, advising the NYU Aesthetics Society and participating in the University Relations committee in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
As a fifth-generation dentist, Dr. Alex Shalman has a legacy of over 100 years of exceptional oral care, which he proudly provides in New York City and New Jersey. Here, we believe that your smile can take you very far. It creates a connection with others. It speaks of your ambition and confidence. Let’s make it remarkable together.

In the comfort and style of his modern office, you can get treated to some of the most popular procedures that make you feel and look like a million dollars — for significantly less than that.
Dental implants
Dental implants are titanium replacements for the roots of teeth, used to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in the event of tooth loss. Implants are not only important for aesthetics, but also help the jaw retain its form and density.

I had the best experience getting a single tooth veneer here! His staff is fantastic, and made the process so easy. Dr Shalman was the perfect provider to have during this process- I trusted his knowledge in the craft immediately after meeting him. I’m so grateful and happy with the finished product!
