New York's Cosmetic Dentistry Powerhouse | Lowenberg, Lituchy and Kantor

When it comes to how we present ourselves to the world, nothing is more important than our smile. It’s the first thing people notice, and it can instantly communicate confidence, joy, and warmth. As someone who frequently travels, appears on camera, and hosts high-profile events, maintaining a beautiful, healthy smile isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. That’s why I trust the team at Lowenberg, Lituchy & Kantor (LLK) in New York City.

From the moment you walk through their sleek Central Park South office, you realize this is not your typical dentist's office — it’s a world-class destination for smile transformation.

LLK has built an unmatched reputation as one of New York’s top cosmetic dentistry practices, known for their stunning veneers, preventive care, and expert cleanings. And yet, despite their long list of celebrity clients and decades of media praise, what struck me most was how personalized and welcoming their approach is. Every patient is treated like a star.

I recently sat down with Dr. Marc Lowenberg, one of the founding partners, to better understand what sets LLK apart. As he explained, their most sought-after service is the application of porcelain laminate veneers — an artful and life-changing process that can align crooked teeth, close gaps, and change both the shape and color of teeth in a way that still looks incredibly natural. “The goal,” Dr. Lowenberg told me, “is for you to look like yourself — only better.” And that’s exactly what they deliver.

One of the most impressive parts of LLK’s cosmetic dentistry process is that they have their own in-house ceramist. This means every veneer is custom-designed, hand-colored, and crafted on-site. It’s a rare luxury, even among the best dentists in NYC. Unlike many other practices that rely on third-party dental labs, LLK maintains total control over the aesthetic outcome. Your skin tone, facial structure, hair color, and even your personality are all considered in the design of your new smile. It’s a fully bespoke process — dental artistry at its finest.

So, what does a smile makeover at LLK actually look like? It begins with an in-depth consultation and smile design. At your first appointment, the teeth are carefully prepared and temporary veneers are created. Already, you see a visual improvement. Over the next two weeks, your temporaries can be adjusted until they’re perfect. Then, at the second appointment, the final porcelain veneers are bonded to the teeth, revealing your new, natural-looking smile. A follow-up visit ensures everything feels and functions comfortably.

Beyond cosmetic dentistry, LLK is a leader in preventative care and teeth cleanings. Their hygienists are gentle yet thorough, and appointments feel more like spa experiences than clinical procedures. I appreciate that their cleanings go beyond routine — they educate you on how to maintain healthy gums, prevent enamel wear, and keep your investment in tip-top shape. As Dr. Lowenberg notes, maintaining your veneers (or any great smile) comes down to the same habits as natural teeth: brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings. The team also helps patients understand the difference between veneers and crowns, offering conservative solutions whenever possible. Veneers require far less tooth reduction than crowns, making them ideal for most aesthetic cases. And if you grind your teeth, LLK ensures protection with custom night guards to preserve your new smile.

For anyone looking to refresh their smile in New York, there is truly no better destination than LLK. Whether you’re well-known or simply someone who wants to look and feel their best, this is the practice that delivers dazzling, natural results — and does so with warmth, discretion, and artistry. From my own experience, I can say that walking into LLK is like entering a sanctuary of beauty and care. You leave not only looking transformed but feeling it too. That is the real power of a smile makeover.
