Shalman Dentistry is the private boutique practice of Dr. Alex Shalman, DDS, a fifth-generation dentist whose family has been practicing oral care for nearly 100 years — beginning with his great-grandmother, one of the first female dentists in Moscow, Russia, who finished dental school in 1917. Dr. Shalman is the first male dentist in the family lineage and earned his DDS from NYU College of Dentistry (NYUCD), where he graduated through the Honors Aesthetics program while serving as president of the NYUCD Aesthetics Society. He went on to teach at NYUCD as a clinical instructor starting in 2014 and advises the NYU Aesthetics Society, while also serving on the University Relations committee of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He is Invisalign-certified and holds an MS in Biomedical Science from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, along with a BA in Psychology from Rutgers University. The practice sits in a modern, comfortable office in Lower Manhattan's Greenwich Village, close to Union Square, the PATH train at 9th Street, and the West 4th Street subway station. Dr. Shalman and his team emphasize highly personalized treatment plans, best-in-class NYC laboratories for restorations, and a friendly, gentle chairside approach. The clinic serves adults and families seeking everything from routine cleanings and exams ($395 new-patient special including cleaning, X-rays, and comprehensive exam) to advanced cosmetic work such as veneers, crowns, bridges, full smile makeovers, clear-aligner orthodontics, and implant tooth replacement. Same-day appointments, 0% healthcare financing, and most major PPO insurance plans (Metlife, Aetna, Cigna, Delta, Guardian, United Healthcare, United Concordia) are accepted.
