About Dr. Yuliya Alterman
Dentistry is an amazing profession permitting me to be both a healer and an artist. Growing up in St. Petersburg, the cultural center of Russia, has greatly influenced my perception of what is considered attractive. Beauty, then, is neither a trend nor perfection, but a balanced set of characteristics, making each of us unique. As a dentist, it became my goal to recreate and restore it seamlessly.
I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from New York University and completed a residency in General, Cosmetic Dentistry, and Implantology at NYU Lutheran Medical Center. Additionally, I pursued advanced training in Implantology at New York University, which has deepened my expertise in this specialized field.
I am an open book to my friends, students, colleagues, as well as patients, and believe that every encounter with a human being can be an opportunity to learn something. I am, therefore, always a student myself and aspire to be better each day. What I have learned so far is that there is nothing impossible as long as I dare to reach for it. My patients’ gratitude humbles me; their trust in my ability and talent is what makes being a dentist a true privilege.
Appointment Information:
At the time of scheduling your appointment, please provide your Dental Insurance ID number so we can verify eligibility and ensure proper coverage for your first visit. We require a current full mouth set of radiographs (typically 18 individual x-rays) prior to any cleaning or comprehensive exam. Please obtain them from your previous provider, or we can easily take them in office once we check your insurance eligibility. We kindly request a 24-hour notice for any cancellations. Thank you!
