About
LivingArt Dentistry is a premier cosmetic and restorative dental practice located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, founded by Dr. Bela and Dr. Garry Levingart, who both graduated from NYU College of Dentistry in 1990 and 1989, respectively[2][4]. Over their 30+ years of practice, the doctors have built a reputation for combining cutting-edge dental technology with genuine, patient-centered care[3][7]. The practice began with modest beginnings—the founders initially worked in other dental offices while building their own patient base one person at a time through word-of-mouth and personal connections[3]. Today, LivingArt Dentistry operates two warm and welcoming offices across New York City and Brooklyn, serving patients from around the world[3]. The practice is distinguished by its commitment to continued education and innovation in dentistry, offering an extensive array of services that reflect the doctors' enthusiasm for advancing their field[3]. A core philosophy at LivingArt Dentistry centers on treating every patient like family and ensuring they feel genuinely cared for during their dental experience[3]. Dr. Garry emphasizes that 'every person who comes through our doors is important' and prioritizes meeting individual patient needs[3]. The practice has recently welcomed Dr. Diana Levingart, the doctors' daughter and a 2015 NYU College of Dentistry graduate, as an associate[4]. Dr. Diana brings a unique perspective to cosmetic dentistry, combining her background in sculpture, holistic wellness, nutritional studies, and psychology of dental anxiety to provide comprehensive, aesthetically-focused care in a supportive environment[4]. The practice is known for utilizing the latest dental technologies, including 3D imaging and printing for same-day restorations, laser dentistry for minimally invasive treatments, and advanced implantology techniques[2][3][7]. Patient testimonials consistently highlight the professional, friendly, and family-oriented atmosphere, with long-term patients praising the excellent service and noticeable improvements to their smiles[2].

Customer Reviews
⭐ Five Stars! ⭐
I can’t say enough great things about Living Art Dentistry and Dr. Bela and Dr. Garry Levingart! From the moment you walk in, the entire team makes you feel comfortable and cared for. Every visit has been easy, stress-free, and the results are absolutely amazing. The staff is professional, friendly, and truly goes above and beyond.
Dr. Garry Levingart is exceptional—he listens carefully, explains everything clearly, and his work is stunning. Both Dr. Bela and Dr. Garry, along with Ina, create such a welcoming and relaxing environment that you actually look forward to your appointment!
Thank you to the whole team for consistently delivering outstanding care. Highly recommend Living Art Dentistry to anyone looking for top-notch dental service!
Exceeded expectations. Never expected that I would get an entire temporary reconstruction in four hours. Dr. Levingart worked intensively on my teeth on the upper jaw that required attention after a decade of neglect. The application of contemporary tools and materials facilitated his task that included two root canals on the fly. My concern was that he was working so hard on my jaw how he could relax going home after doing a mammoth amount of work in one day. The best part was that I had no pain coming home and remained totally pain free without taking any pain medication- not even an advil. The reason why I postponed all my dentist work was I was nervous about repeated visits and post visit pain management would affect my quality of life - NONE of which came through. Thank you Dr. Levingart.
Staff were friendly and personable, always spoke with a smile! They’d answered any questions I’d had and whilst my appointment was going I was checked on to make sure I was comfortable and was explained clearly any issue I was feeling. Will visit again when the time comes!
Well-organized office with friendly and highly professional staff. Despite a busy schedule, they found a convenient appointment for me and provided excellent service.
This place is disgusting and the front desk staff there is also incredibly unprofessional and seem super unhappy. She was not only nasty over the phone but also in person. Here’s a gentle reminder: people are at the dentist because they’re in pain, etc. not for fun… so be kind!
In addition to the bad attitudes there, it is very dirty including a rotting, leaking ceiling tile.
