About
New York Family Dental Arts stands as a beacon of excellence in family dentistry on Manhattan's prestigious Upper East Side, embodying a legacy of compassionate, high-quality care that spans over 25 years. Founded by the dynamic sibling duo, Dr. Alex Vaiman and Dr. Irina Kessler, this family-run practice traces its roots to a deep familial tradition in dentistry, following in the footsteps of their father. Both renowned dentists graduated from the prestigious New York University College of Dentistry—Dr. Vaiman in 1986, bringing over 30 years of unparalleled expertise, and Dr. Kessler in 1995, with more than 25 years of specialized knowledge. Their professional journey truly began in 2001 when they took over a retiring dentist's practice in Pelham, NY, realizing a long-held dream of practicing together. In 2012, they expanded to the Upper East Side, establishing a foothold in one of New York City's most vibrant communities. This expansion culminated in a momentous relocation in April 2024 to a state-of-the-art office at 200 East 72nd Street, between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, designed to elevate patient comfort and treatment precision with cutting-edge technology.[1][3][4]
The mission of New York Family Dental Arts is rooted in a patient-centered philosophy that treats every individual like family, prioritizing personalized treatment plans tailored to unique needs, expectations, and goals. Unlike impersonal corporate dental chains, this practice thrives on the genuine warmth and synergy of the Vaiman-Kessler family, creating a welcoming environment where anxiety melts away and trust flourishes. Patients rave about the 'warm and friendly staff,' 'pain-free treatments,' and 'pleasant experiences' that transform dreaded dental visits into positive milestones, as evidenced by over 700 glowing reviews averaging 4.9 stars on platforms like Birdeye.[2][4] Dr. Vaiman's expertise shines in full mouth rehabilitation, snoring solutions, and sleep apnea treatments, addressing complex restorative needs with precision. Complementing this, Dr. Kessler excels in cosmetic dentistry, mastering smile makeovers that blend artistry and science for stunning, natural results. Their national recognition in esteemed publications such as Forbes, Health, Well + Good, and Parents cements their status as thought leaders in the field.[1]
What truly sets New York Family Dental Arts apart is its unique value proposition: the rare symbiosis of two complementary specialists under one roof, fostering a holistic approach to oral health. While many practices silo general and cosmetic care, here the brother-sister team's shared passion and distinct strengths—Dr. Vaiman's restorative prowess paired with Dr. Kessler's aesthetic finesse—deliver comprehensive solutions seamlessly. The newly unveiled modern office exemplifies this commitment, featuring advanced digital imaging, superior sterilization techniques, and ergonomic designs for optimal patient safety and outcomes. Services encompass a full spectrum, from routine teeth cleanings and emergency care to sophisticated offerings like porcelain veneers, Invisalign, dental implants, crowns, root canals, and periodontics, ensuring all family members receive top-tier attention under one roof.[3][6]
This dedication extends to accessibility and convenience, with extended hours—Monday 9am-6pm, Tuesday 10am-6pm, Wednesday 8am-8pm, Thursday 8am-7pm, Friday 9am-2pm, and Saturdays by appointment—catering to busy Upper East Side lifestyles. Open communication empowers patients to make informed decisions, supported by flexible scheduling and financing options that democratize elite care. In an era of cookie-cutter dentistry, New York Family Dental Arts distinguishes itself through its familial authenticity, technological edge, and unwavering focus on long-term oral health and confidence-boosting smiles. Whether restoring function, enhancing beauty, or preventing issues, Drs. Vaiman and Kessler invite you to experience dentistry done differently—a practice where expertise meets heartfelt care, helping families achieve healthy, radiant smiles for generations.[1][2][3][4] (Word count: 612)
