Teeth Whitening
Our professional teeth whitening services use advanced formulations to safely remove stains and discoloration. Ideal for patients seeking a brighter, more confident smile, this treatment delivers noticeable results in a single session. We offer customized take-home kits for sustained effects.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent, natural-looking solutions for missing teeth. Using state-of-the-art technology, we ensure precise placement and integration with your jawbone. This service restores both function and aesthetics for long-term oral health.
Invisalign
Invisalign corrects misaligned teeth with virtually invisible, removable aligners. Tailored treatment plans address crowding, gaps, and bite issues. This discreet option suits adults and teens seeking orthodontic improvement without traditional braces.
Laser Dentistry
Laser technology enables precise, gentle treatment for gum disease, cavity removal, and soft-tissue procedures. Benefits include reduced discomfort, faster healing, and minimized bleeding. This approach enhances patient comfort during complex dental work.
Same-Day Crowns
Using 3D imaging and milling technology, we create durable ceramic crowns in a single visit. This eliminates multiple appointments and temporary crowns. Patients receive custom-fitted, aesthetic restorations within hours.

SCAM! This was truly a shocking experience. I went in for a simple dental cleaning and was coaxed into getting updated X-rays. Upon review, I was told I had 7 cavities that needed to be addressed ASAP. Having NEVER HAD a cavity before, I almost believed them. I returned to a former dentist who let me know I have NO cavities. Zero. Central Park Dentists is an unethical practice that LIES and would have drilled my perfectly healthy teeth. DO NOT GO HERE!

I am compelled to say that Dr. Bela and Dr. Gary Levingart are dentists operating near Lincoln Center on the incompetent side. Some of the procedures they did in my mouth were poorly done. In addition, they have ripped me off several times by claiming that the insurance does not cover the procedure when in fact it does. They always demand cash payments. They are extremely unethical and incompetent.
I have witnessed other patients complained about this issue while in the waiting room. The secretary portrays herself as friendly but is constantly speaking Russian with the dentists and being very sneaky. I would stay far away from this dental office.

Dr. Levingart is the first dentist who paused to ask me if anything hurt and it was the first time I had totally pain-free dentistry. The crowns you did for me feel great. The assistant and front desk people are considerate, caring and great professionals. I would strongly recommend Dr. Levingart to everyone! Thank you for your diligence and your amazing professionalism!

I have been a patient of "Dr. Bela's" (Levingart) for a number of years. I have found her professionalism and attentiveness second to none in my considerable experience. In addition her exceptional dental hygienist, Regina and friendly office manager, Ina are unsurpassed in their respective roles. In short, I would recommend this superb practice, without qualification, to anyone wishing the best in dental care bar none.
