About

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Manhattan's historic Flatiron District, Gotham Dental stands as a beacon of modern oral health and patient-centered care. For over two decades, this premier dental practice has built a formidable reputation not just on technical excellence, but on a foundational philosophy that views dentistry as an integral component of overall wellness and confidence. Founded by a visionary team of dental professionals, the practice was born from a desire to break away from the impersonal, clinical feel of traditional dental offices and create a sanctuary where advanced technology meets genuine compassion and meticulous artistry. The journey began with a single operatory and a big dream: to redefine the dental experience in New York City. Today, occupying a sophisticated, state-of-the-art facility on the 5th floor of 5 East 19th Street, Gotham Dental has evolved into a comprehensive dental home for individuals, families, and professionals from across the tri-state area, all while maintaining the intimate, detail-oriented approach of its humble beginnings.

The core mission of Gotham Dental is unequivocally patient-centric: to provide exceptional, personalized dental care in a comfortable, anxiety-free environment that educates, empowers, and elevates the patient. The team believes that informed patients make the best decisions about their health. Therefore, a significant portion of every consultation is dedicated to education, using the most advanced diagnostic tools to visualize and explain conditions and treatment options with unparalleled clarity. This commitment to transparency fosters a partnership between dentist and patient, moving away from a paternalistic model to one of collaborative care. The practice's expertise spans the entire spectrum of dentistry, but it has carved a particular niche in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, complex full-mouth rehabilitations, and dental implantology. Their cosmetic work is not merely procedural; it is treated as an art form, where smiles are designed considering facial aesthetics, personality, and the patient's own vision, resulting in transformations that are both stunningly beautiful and naturally harmonious.

What truly sets Gotham Dental apart in the competitive landscape of New York City dentistry is its unique value proposition, which can be distilled into three pillars: unparalleled expertise, cutting-edge technology, and an uncompromising commitment to patient experience. The clinical team comprises highly credentialed dentists and specialists who engage in hundreds of hours of continuing education annually, staying at the forefront of techniques in digital dentistry, sedation options, minimally invasive procedures, and biomaterials. This expertise is amplified by a technological arsenal that rivals a hospital surgical suite, including 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for precise implant planning, intraoral scanners that eliminate uncomfortable impressions, laser dentistry for gentler soft tissue procedures, and CAD/CAM systems for crafting same-day crowns and veneers. However, technology is never a substitute for human touch. The practice's environment is meticulously designed to soothe—featuring a serene, modern aesthetic, amenities to ensure comfort, and a staff renowned for their warmth, empathy, and ability to alleviate dental anxiety. From the initial phone call to post-operative follow-up, every interaction is crafted to make patients feel valued, heard, and exceptionally well-cared-for. In a city known for its pace, Gotham Dental is a haven of deliberate, thorough, and profoundly personalized care, making it not just a dental office, but a trusted health partner for life.

I had to make an urgent visit to Gotham Dental recently, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment I walked in, the front desk was kind, welcoming, and efficient, which immediately helped put me at ease. The team was professional yet friendly, and everything moved smoothly without unnecessary waiting or stress. The doctor and staff explained each step clearly, making sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. What really stood out to me was the care that extended even after my appointment—the doctor personally checked in to see how I was doing, which showed a level of attentiveness that’s rare to find. I felt genuinely cared for and supported from start to finish, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gotham Dental to anyone in need of high-quality, compassionate dental care.

I mean, who gushes about dental visits??? I do! Dr. Samuelian, and the entire team at Gotham Dental deserves all the praise. Even though I live upstate, I still travel down because there is truly no place like Gotham Dental. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth. Every single person greets you with genuine kindness, calm energy, and that effortless confidence that makes you feel completely taken care of. Dr. Samuelian is the perfect mix of artistry, skill, and compassion. He explains everything, never rushes, and somehow makes you forget why you were nervous in the first place. His entire team radiates that same care. They check in, remember the little details, and make you feel like family. They turn something most people dread into something you can actually look forward to. Every visit feels more like a wellness experience than a dental appointment. Gotham Dental isn’t just a practice. It’s a whole vibe of kindness, excellence, and heart. If you have ever wanted to feel truly seen, safe, and cared for in a dentist’s chair, this is where you will find it.

I’ve been going to Gotham Dental for over a decade and that’s saying a lot because I really dislike the experience of going to a dentist and usually avoid it at all costs. This place is an oasis not only because of the fancy and beautiful artwork that’s always changing on its walls, but also because the front desk staff is always super friendly and welcoming, the people who answer the phones are delightful and helpful, and Ana, Sarah and Dr S. are all genuinely kind and caring people who are good at their jobs.

First of all, I was not seen by the dentist I booked with. I ended up seeing Dr. Avo Samuelian and did not appreciate his bedside manner. He came in, rushed through everything, and told me I needed to get all this work done and also invisalign without even asking me if it was something I wanted to consider. He then left and provided no further information. I was told everything should be done asap and then handed a bill for what it would be, which was over $10k of dental work. Felt like they were just trying to make a lot of money off of me. Will not be going to this practice again.
