Our Story · Upper East Side, NYC
Dentistry rooted in how teeth actually work
Lazare Biomimetic Dentistry and Smile Design is a Manhattan practice led by Dr. Marc Lazare, D.D.S., M.A.G.D. For more than two decades, our approach has been the same: preserve as much natural tooth as possible, restore it with materials that behave like enamel and dentin, and design smiles that look like you, only healthier.

Our philosophy
Why we practice biomimetic dentistry
Traditional dentistry often removes healthy tooth structure to make room for a crown, post or root canal. Each step can weaken the tooth and start a cycle of repeat treatment.
Biomimetic dentistry takes a different position. We bond restorations to the tooth in small, controlled layers, using materials chosen to mimic the flexibility of dentin and the hardness of enamel. The goal is a restoration that shares stress the way a natural tooth does, so more of your own tooth stays healthy for longer.
The same thinking guides our cosmetic dentistry: porcelain veneers and smile design that respect your bite, your face and your long-term oral health.
Preserve
Keep as much healthy enamel and dentin as possible; treat conservatively first.
Bond
Use adhesive protocols supported by peer-reviewed research to seal and strengthen the tooth.
Reinforce
Build layer by layer, with fiber reinforcement where needed, to reduce stress and the risk of cracks and sensitivity.
Design
Shape a natural-looking smile that fits your face, your function and the way you live.
