Dr. Oleg Klempner melds up-to-the-minute dental technology with the ancient art of humor to ease trips to the dentist. Dr. Klempner's newfangled intraoral camera facilitates views that mirrors or open-mouth screams cannot, and digital x-rays reveal invisible structures for examination on a computer. Although all preventive and restorative services are available, Dr. Klempner's true specialty lies in cosmetic dentistry, which includes the application of veneers and the ability to remove tattoos from molars.

Few dentists can claim to have saved a person’s life. Dr. Nicholas Toscano, however, has, and received a Navy and Marine Corp Commendation Medal in recognition of his efforts. The critical moment occurred during his 13-year service in the Navy, during which he received multiple awards and completed a general practice residency at the National Naval Medical Center. Today, the decorated dentist brings his expertise to Manhattan Periodontal Associates, where he and his colleagues perform general and cosmetic services for patients of all ages. And as a board-certified periodontist and implantologist, Dr. Toscano specializes in unique treatments such as tooth-crown lengthening to even smiles or gum grafting to stave off disease.

With more than 20 years of experience in cosmetic dermatology and surgery, board-certified physician Dr. Feder has had the pleasure of working next to some of the world’s top cosmetic surgeons and inventors, including Dr. Giorgio Fischer (the brains behind liposuction). Dr. Feder continually updates his expertise with new beauty treatments, such as Aptos thread facial therapy and chemodermabrasion facials, and shares his wealth of industry knowledge as an author and international speaker. The doctor also keeps his keen eye for detail trained on all aspects of his dermatology division, which tends to skin issues including cancer, burnt out goose bumps, and birth marks. Along with a full operating suite and private treatment rooms equipped with advanced IPL technology, the office boasts a line of Dr. Feder's own anti-aging and rejuvenating skincare products.

The gears of the Lex 1000 lens edger begin to churn inside M J Optical’s in-house lab. Using specifications from eye exams and rounds of Would You Rather?, the shop’s staff can use the machine to shape everything from standard lenses to custom-tinted progressive rounds in about 40 minutes. These freshly minted lenses find fashionable homes in frames from designers such as Armani Exchange, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, and Ray-Ban.

Marble tiles and rich gold accents sparkle through the Astor Estate building's ornate lobby as guests journey to Manhattan Dental Spa's office tucked away on the 22nd floor. The spa's friendly staff guides patients through graceful hallway arches and into semi-private rooms outfitted with advanced medical equipment and adjustable flat screen TVs. Dr. Joseph Greer D.D.S. and Dr. Mitchell Charnas, D.M.D., along with an experience staff that includes a periodontist, endodontist, and an oral surgeon, revamp clients' choppers with general cleanings, implants, and Invisalign. Along with cosmetic services, the staff also performs beauty injections, gently injecting dermal fillers such as Botox and Restylane into fine lines etched around the mouth, nose, or brow, immobilizing wrinkle-making face elves for up to four months.

Central Park Dental Office blends a holistic approach with reflexology and a spa-like setting to create a more comforting dental experience. While a reflexologist tenderizes the feet to promote stress and pain reduction throughout the body, NYU dentistry professor Dr. Eda Ellis and her staff stylize and strengthen smiles. Seated in a raised dental chair, a patient can gaze out over the top of Central Park, passing the duration of the treatment by watching birds and cotton-tailed bicuspids scurrying up the trees. Embracing a holistic approach to dentistry, Dr. Ellis and her hygienists examine the gums and teeth while also taking into account the larger health and well-being of the body, drawing on factors such as diet, stress, and medications when prescribing preventive and cosmetic services. Upon entering the office, patients breeze past the reception area's artful arrangements of fresh flowers and dried flowers over cherry-red hardwood floors, resting on comfy couches surrounded by the soft sound of trickling water from the indoor fountain.
