About
Soul Dental is a women-owned multi-specialty dental practice founded by Drs. Yuliya Alterman and Alexandra Yungelson, who met on their first day of dental school and shared a vision to revolutionize dental care in New York City. The practice represents a departure from traditional dentistry, combining world-class clinical expertise with a modern, welcoming approach that prioritizes patient comfort and authentic connection.
The Chelsea location, situated at 200 W 15th St Unit 1A, is one of three convenient Manhattan locations (also in Hell's Kitchen and Upper West Side) that Soul Dental operates as a full-service dental practice. The practice was built on the foundation of friendship and shared professional values between its two founders, who sought to create an environment where dentistry could be dynamic, passionate, and purposeful while delivering exceptional clinical results.
At Soul Dental Chelsea, the practice philosophy centers on elevating the patient experience beyond standard dental visits. From the moment patients enter the office, they encounter a highly professional yet comfortable and inviting environment. The practice emphasizes that dentistry is fundamentally about relationships, communication, and trust—not merely clinical procedures. This patient-centric approach has resonated with hundreds of New Yorkers who have entrusted their oral health to the practice.
The Chelsea location is equipped with cutting-edge dental technology designed to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. Digital x-rays, intraoral cameras, and 3D imaging systems enable the clinical team to provide precise diagnoses and develop effective, proactive treatment strategies. The office itself reflects a modern aesthetic with sleek design elements and attention to ambiance, creating an atmosphere that contradicts the stereotype of traditional dental offices.
Soul Dental Chelsea specializes in comprehensive oral healthcare, offering services ranging from routine preventive care to complex restorative and cosmetic procedures. The practice has developed particular expertise in sedation dentistry, recognizing that dental anxiety is a significant barrier to care for many patients. Dr. Yungelson and her team offer a full spectrum of sedation options, from non-invasive nitrous oxide to IV sedation, ensuring that patients with varying comfort levels can receive necessary treatment. This commitment to anxiety management has enabled the practice to help patients with severe dental phobia access comprehensive care, including complex cases involving extractions, root canals, crowns, and implants.
The practice's service offerings encompass full smile restorations for patients seeking cosmetic improvements, whether due to natural wear, illness, accident, or injury. The team works collaboratively with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address both aesthetic goals and long-term oral health objectives. This comprehensive approach reflects the practice's philosophy that every smile is unique and deserves individualized attention.
What distinguishes Soul Dental Chelsea from competitors is its integration of clinical excellence with genuine warmth and professionalism.

For patients seeking comprehensive dental care in a modern, welcoming environment with exceptional clinical expertise, Soul Dental Chelsea represents a significant departure from traditional dental practices.
