About

Nestled within the prestigious Upper East Side of Manhattan, LAVAAN Dental Spa stands as a paradigm-shifting institution in oral healthcare, masterfully redefining the dental experience by merging uncompromising clinical excellence with the serene luxury of a boutique spa. The name 'LAVAAN' itself is evocative, suggesting a transformative process, a purification and refinement that perfectly encapsulates the practice's philosophy: to transform dental care from a routine obligation into a rejuvenating, personalized, and holistic journey toward total well-being. Founded by Dr. Kami Hoss and Dr. Nazli Keri—a husband-and-wife team who are both accomplished orthodontists and serial entrepreneurs in the dental wellness space—LAVAAN was born from a vision to address a critical gap in the market: the need for a dental practice that treats the patient as a whole person, not just a set of teeth, within an environment that actively reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation.The practice's mission is unequivocal: to provide world-class, technologically advanced dentistry in an atmosphere of unparalleled comfort and luxury, all while educating and empowering patients to achieve and maintain optimal oral health for life. This is not merely a dental office; it is a sanctuary. From the moment patients enter the doors at 1196 Lexington Ave, they are transported away from the bustling city streets. The ambiance is deliberately crafted with a minimalist, calming aesthetic—think soft, natural lighting, a curated palette of soothing colors, plush seating, and a warm, welcoming staff trained in hospitality as much as in patient care. The pervasive anxiety often associated with dental visits is dispelled by amenities such as noise-canceling headphones, cozy blankets, aromatherapy, and even a selection of fine teas and coffees.What truly sets LAVAAN Dental Spa apart is its foundational integration of The Super Dentists philosophy, pioneered by Dr. Hoss. This approach is built on the 'Mighty Mouth' concept, which posits that the mouth is the gateway to total body health. The team doesn't just look for cavities or straighten teeth; they perform comprehensive screenings that assess the mouth's intricate relationship with sleep, breathing, airway development, craniofacial growth, and systemic health. This is particularly evident in their specialized care for children and adults alike, focusing on early intervention and growth guidance to prevent issues rather than merely treating them later. Their expertise in areas like airway-centered orthodontics and myofunctional therapy positions them at the forefront of a progressive, health-focused dental movement.The clinical team, led by the founding doctors, comprises highly skilled specialists and general dentists who leverage state-of-the-art technology. This includes low-radiation digital X-rays, intraoral scanners that eliminate messy impressions, laser dentistry for minimally invasive procedures, and advanced 3D imaging (CBCT) for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. Every detail, from the materials used in restorations to the ergonomic design of the operatories, is selected with the patient's ultimate health, comfort, and aesthetic outcome in mind. LAVAAN Dental Spa is more than a practice; it is a destination for those who seek the highest standard of dental care delivered with empathy, innovation, and a deep commitment to transforming lives through oral wellness. It represents a new gold standard where luxury, comprehensive health, and clinical mastery converge.

Since I was a little girl I've always been afraid of dentist. But this facility has a very soothing and pleasant vibe. Starting from the front desk all the way to the doctor; they are so nice and make you feel comfortable. I am seeing Dr. Bismal Sonail and she is by far the best dentist I've ever seen. Thank you Lavaan for making me feel comfortable.

I barely recognize my teeth after a Lavaan cleaning, they look so good! Beautiful spa-like facility, knowledgeable staff, and friendly atmosphere. Also, the appointments are super quick and efficient. I have been going here for a few years and highly recommend it.

This was my first visit to Lavaan Dental and I was impressed with the professional staff- from the front desk to my gracious hygienist Fern who did a thorough 5 star cleaning. If you are looking for a new dentist I highly recommend Dr Bisma Sohail she was very knowledgeable and answered all my concerns. Thank you for a great experience!

Made an appointment which was for next week, but kindly asked if there was any cancellation for them to please give me a call which they did the same day and they helped me out tremendously. I was seen right away and we got a lot of things done within the hour. It’s really hard to find a dentist who can see you for emergencies in nyc as I was traveling all throughout the Bronx and looking into the city today so I’m very thankful I was taken in. A little pricey, but I guess that is the cost of something that is important aka your smile!
