In the first month of Whom You Know, Dr. Garo Nazarian was our first interview and first Mover and Shaker featured and while we have reached nearly 300 Movers and Shakers since January 2009 to the present, Cosmopolitan Dental has over 1,000 patients sporting the best smiles in Manhattan. Since Garo's last interview in March of 2012 with Peachy Deegan, Cosmopolitan Dental has updated its office-tour video! Visit www.cosmopolitandental.com and click play to view a tour of the state of the art new dental office! In addition, Dr. Nazarian has been selected as one of New York’s favorite dentist according to the American Registry who partners with Patient’s Choice.org

Cosmopolitan Dental is known to use cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art equipment. In addition to digital x-ray imaging and intra-oral and extra-oral camera systems, they have added a Soft Tissue Laser which allows the doctor to perform a wide array of soft-tissue procedures with little to no discomfort, minimal bleeding and post-op discomfort, less anesthesia, and rapid healing.

Some dental issues common among patients which are easily corrected are orthodontic misalignments. Cosmopolitan Dental offers Invisalign, a modern approach to straightening teeth without using traditional metal braces. There are many advantages to Invisalign, the most obvious being cosmetic. This method is preferred by those who want to get straighter teeth without the look of traditional metal braces!

We all know that eating a diet rich of fruits and vegetables and drinking plenty of water will promote good dental health. There are also foods that contain large amounts of sugar that can stick to teeth, providing a fuel source for bacteria. Poor choices include hard candy, French fries, potato chips, and cookies. Also limit your consumption of sugar-containing drinks including soft drinks and coffee and tea with added sugar. We always say at Whom You Know that you're never fully dressed without a smile, and the place to go is Cosmopolitan Dental!  We are absolutely thrilled to present another terrific interview with Dr. Garo Nazarian.  Peachy Deegan interviewed Garo Nazarian for Whom You Know.
