My experience here is always 10/10. I became a patient about five years ago. Staff is extremely professional, friendly and personable. The office is also very nice and modern, they have a lot to offer. I’m finishing up my Invisalign, I love the results.

The office is incredible and filled with art. Everyone there is super personable, especially Dr Gause who took time and care and gave me a bunch of treatment options based on cost that could meet my needs. I have found a new dentist. What a cool dude.

Amazing. I had an outstanding dental consultation that felt more like visiting an art gallery than a typical dental office. The ambiance was beautifully curated with art and soothing music, creating a relaxing environment that made me almost forget I was there for dental work. The entire experience was seamless, with exceptional service. The staff were friendly, professional, and genuinely focused on making me comfortable throughout the visit. This consultation redefined what a dental appointment can be—highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch care in a calming, inspiring setting.

I first met Dr. Lee Gause through an implant study with NYU Dental School where he was a professor. His professionalism and passion for dental care were the main reason I wanted to continue my dental health with his office at Smile Design. Not only is he a great dentist, he is an art gallery owner and quite the philanthropist. Dr. Gause helps many citizens of New York even when they do not have dental insurance or the financial ability to pay for extensive dental care. His generosity is changing smiles all over New York City. I am proud to say I am a patient of such a professional health care provider as well as an incredible person with a mind to serve the city he loves. Plus, I love my smile that he has kept in good condition.
