Dr. Shalman has helped me with everything from general cleanings to whitening and even cosmetic work that I had been wanting to get. I can’t recommend them enough!
Matt Devoe.- Google ReviewI love this practice so much that I travel to Manhattan just for my appointments. I refer Dr. Shalman anytime someone asks for a dentist in the area, and now my partner sees him too. From using the latest technology to correcting issues from other practices, I trust this team to deliver best in class care. We never feel rushed or like just another number with him and the staff. Definitely give this friendly neighborhood dentist a try!
JD.- Google ReviewAfter one visit, I was seriously impressed by Dr. Shalman’s empathy, professionalism and artistic eye for cosmetic procedures. For my procedure I had laser gum surgery, 10 veneers placed up top and my bottom teeth whitened. His mindset aligned with exactly what I was looking for - making sure my teeth looked natural and the shade was a “clean white” instead of a blocky-fake looking white so I was left with a really nice smile, not noticible veneers. If you are looking for an incredible dentist with a fantastic staff - this is your guy!
Madeline Lawlor.- Google ReviewDr. Shalman is truly the best dentist! He’s extremely knowledgeable and very caring. My family and I began seeing Dr. Shalman in Metuchen, NJ and have followed him to NYC! Dr. Shalman’s kindness and expertise are worth the travel.

Jacob Eidinger.- Google ReviewDr. Alex is a gifted Cosmetic dentist that truly cares about his patients. He does amazing work!
Lyndsey Botelho.- Google ReviewIt is always tricky to find a good dentist. When My friend referred me to Dr. Alex, I said I would give it a try. Honestly, I wasn't excited about it because I have tried several dentists, and no one has ever provided a permanent solution to my issues. Here I am two years later; I can say with confidence that Dr. Alex and his team are the best. They are flexible, efficient, and reliable.
Kofi Teye.- Google ReviewDr. Shalman was - hands down - the best dentist I've ever been to in my life. I got there early as I had an hour to kill and he welcomed me in, offered to hang up my coat, offered to make me an espresso, and his lobby was nicer than any cafe I've ever been to. The manner in which his staff and he worked with me on my teeth and my worries and my priorities was second to none. I hope I get to go to Dr. Shalman for a long time in the future - he is simply the best dentist I've ever been to in my life. I was floored by his office and raved about it to my friends afterwards. Best medical experience I've had yet!
Peter Atkinson.- Google ReviewThis dental office is the best I’ve been to. First of all it looks like an art studio, super cool. Alex and his team are the nicest people and the dental technology they use is top-notch. I got a teeth whitening and juvederm and people keep on complimenting my smile. Best Dentist office in New York City for sure !!
