Dr. Garo Nazarian was last featured in Brilliant Businesspeople in 2013

Dr. Nazarian, a graduate of Boston College and Columbia Dental School, opened Cosmopolitan Dental in 2006 and has grown this practice into one of the top cosmetic and dental implant practices in New York City. Cosmopolitan Dental strives to surpass all patients' expectations by catering to your dental needs while providing the utmost professional results.

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.
