About
Nestled in the historic and vibrant Tribeca neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, Tribeca Smiles stands as a premier dental practice renowned for its fusion of world-class dentistry, cutting-edge technology, and a deeply personalized, patient-centered philosophy. Founded and led by the esteemed Dr. Frederick E. Solomon, DMD, the practice has established itself as a sanctuary of oral health and cosmetic excellence, serving the New York City community from its discreet and modern office at 44 Lispenard St. Dr. Solomon’s vision was to create a dental experience that transcended the clinical and often anxiety-inducing stereotypes of dental care, replacing them with an environment of comfort, transparency, and exceptional results. The mission of Tribeca Smiles is unequivocally centered on enhancing patients' health, confidence, and quality of life through comprehensive, individualized dental care.

The practice’s expertise spans the full spectrum of modern dentistry, with particular depth in cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, and restorative procedures. Dr. Solomon’s approach is grounded in the principle of minimally invasive dentistry, striving to preserve natural tooth structure whenever possible while employing the most advanced materials and techniques for longevity and beauty. What truly sets Tribeca Smiles apart is its unwavering commitment to a patient-first ethos within a setting that feels more like a serene, upscale lounge than a medical office. From the moment patients enter, they are greeted by a warm, concierge-like team dedicated to making every visit seamless—from scheduling to handling insurance complexities. The practice invests heavily in state-of-the-art technology, including digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and CAD/CAM systems for same-day crowns, which not only enhances diagnostic precision and treatment efficiency but also significantly improves patient comfort and reduces chair time. Dr. Solomon’s artistic eye, combined with his surgical and technical proficiency, allows him to deliver smile makeovers that are both structurally sound and naturally stunning.

Customer Reviews
I have spent years struggling to find a dentist I truly trust. After an oral health scare a few years ago, visiting the dentist became a source of intense stress and fear, especially when I did not feel fully heard or clearly communicated with by providers.
Learning about Mouth Mapping through Smile House completely changed my outlook. I felt genuinely excited to book an appointment and finally gain a deeper, more holistic understanding of my entire oral microbiome.
From the moment I arrived, the experience exceeded every expectation.
The entire team took the time to carefully walk me through every single part of the exam, from the CBCT scan and gum evaluation to the oral cancer screening and cleaning. Nothing felt rushed or overlooked. Every step was explained with patience, clarity, and care, which helped me feel calm and supported throughout the visit.
Gianna was incredible. She answered all of my questions and provided the most thorough, gentle, and comfortable cleaning I have ever experienced. Her attention to detail and compassion made a world of difference for me.
Dr. Bender was equally amazing. He thoughtfully reviewed all of my exams, explained how and why I grind my teeth, helped me understand the tension in my jaw, and offered guidance that immediately made me feel more at ease. Most importantly, he helped me release so much of the fear I carried from past dental experiences.
This visit has truly changed my perspective on going to the dentist. For the first time, I feel informed, empowered, and genuinely cared for.
I love this team and finally feel like I have found my dental home. I cannot recommend Smile House highly enough.
I’m a new patient at Tribeca Smiles, and I’m already blown away by the level of care and knowledge Dr. Solomon and the entire team provide. With advanced technology and detailed imaging, they offered a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand overview of my dental health—leaving me inspired to lead a life of overall wellness. The space itself is immaculate and serene—almost spa-like—which completely changes the way I feel about going to the dentist. If there’s one place that used to make me anxious, it was the dentist… but not at Tribeca Smiles. Highly recommend!
Dr. Solomon and the entire group at the practice treated me with incredible respect and care. It was refreshing to visit a dental office that is leading with kindness and wellness! They made me feel comfortable and safe with the knowledge they shared on my treatment plans, as well as being able to manage an emergency for me while being a new patient.
Friendly staff, beautiful, clean, warm space. Dr Gholami was very patient and informative. I felt very safe in his care. I can’t stress how professional and caring each and every staff member is. I have found my forever dentist!!
Dr. Solomon and Milley did an amazing job from start to finish. My kid, a freshman in college, had an emergency tooth extraction and they made us super comfortable the whole time. They got us in right away despite being a new patient and were always available for questions. We highly recommend this practice.
