About
Nestled in the heart of Manhattan's vibrant Flatiron District at 30 Lexington Ave, New York General Dentistry (operating and prominently known in the aesthetic domain as Cosmetic Dentistry of New York) stands as a premier destination for comprehensive oral care and transformative smile design. Founded on the principle that exceptional dentistry should be accessible, predictable, and artfully integrated with overall wellness, the practice has built a sterling reputation over decades for blending cutting-edge technology with old-fashioned, patient-centric care. The clinic's mission transcends mere tooth repair; it is dedicated to enhancing patients' confidence, health, and quality of life through personalized, high-quality dental solutions. The philosophy is rooted in a holistic understanding that a beautiful, functional smile is a cornerstone of personal and professional success, and the team is committed to making that reality achievable for every patient who walks through their doors.
The practice is distinguished by its dual expertise in advanced general dentistry and state-of-the-art cosmetic procedures, creating a unique, full-spectrum service model. Led by highly credentialed practitioners, the team possesses deep expertise in complex restorative work, implantology, and minimally invasive cosmetic enhancements. This allows for seamless treatment planning where health and aesthetics are never mutually exclusive but are carefully balanced. For instance, a needed crown is crafted not just for durability but also for lifelike beauty, and orthodontic treatment is considered for both bite correction and facial harmony. What truly sets Cosmetic Dentistry of New York apart is its commitment to a concierge-level experience. From the initial consultation, which often incorporates advanced intraoral scanning and digital smile previews, to the meticulous execution of treatment in a modern, comfortable environment, every detail is curated to reduce anxiety and ensure patient understanding and comfort.
The practice's unique value proposition lies in its powerful combination of technological sophistication and artistic craftsmanship. It invests in the latest digital dentistry tools—such as CAD/CAM systems for same-day crowns, low-radiation digital X-rays, and 3D cone beam CT imaging for precise implant planning. This technology enables greater accuracy, efficiency, and comfort. However, the technology is always guided by the skilled hands and artistic eyes of the dentists, who consider facial aesthetics, lip lines, and individual personality when designing smiles. Furthermore, the practice sets itself apart through its transparent communication and collaborative approach. Patients are treated as informed partners in their care, with detailed discussions about options, timelines, and investment. This builds exceptional trust and results in treatments that are not only clinically outstanding but also deeply aligned with patient goals. In a city teeming with dental options, Cosmetic Dentistry of New York has carved out a niche as a reliable, innovative, and compassionate practice where science meets art, and where every patient receives care tailored to their unique story, ensuring results that are as healthy as they are breathtaking.

Dr Calderon does great work. I have had many dentist and he did great work on my 3 crowns in the front of my mouth. My teeth look and fill great.
He is also has smooth work style and works quickly and efficiently. His team works well together. I recommend this place.
I've been coming to this place for many year and always been satisfied. They have few doctors there, but my favorite dentist is Dr.Calderon. He is an amazing doctor. He really care about his patients and what i like about him the most he is always on time. I never had to wait for my appointment more then 10 min. Definitely recommend this place.
P.S. Olga the manager is really sweet and she always ready to help.
Dr. Seok Kim is the best dentist I have ever gone to. He is extremely smart and caring. I had a pain in my tooth/jaw and saw 5 different dentists and specialists before being referred to him by a friend. He was the only Dr. who caught onto the problem, did research, and found a solution. I have a new piece of mind having him on my side. His office is also convenient and cute inside, and his staff are family friendly and very helpful. Thank you Dr. Kim!
Affordable price for good dental work!!!!!!
Found this place on the Groupon for a crown. Not only Dr.Calderon does quality work he does honest work. He really did a great job. I can say if you come to this place you are in
good hands.
Highly recommended!!!!
Awful place! They do X-Rays, tell you they need to do a huge procedure, then cancel appointments for you every month and jerk you around until they finally let you know that all of a sudden they don't take your insurance and you'll need to go elsewhere. Then you have to waste another few months until your benefits will let you go to a new dental office without paying a large penalty. Don't waste your time on this place like I did!
