Success Stories

I had an amazing experience with EMFACE at Lazare Biomimetic Dentistry!After struggling with jaw tension I felt noticeable relief after just one session! The treatment was comfortable, non-invasive, and left my face feeling lighter and more balanced. By the end of my series, my jaw tension had significantly improved, and I could see a natural lift and better muscle symmetry. I highly recommend EMFACE at Lazare Biomimetic Dentistry on the Upper East Side to anyone looking for a gentle and effective way to ease tension and refresh their facial appearance.

I’ve been going to Dr. Fay for a while now and I can genuinely say she’s the best dentist I’ve ever had. She guided me through Invisalign and some cosmetic work that made a huge difference in my smile. What I really appreciate is how careful and thorough she is—she actually takes time to explain what she’s doing, and is proactive when it comes to dental care. The whole experience feels professional, honest, and comfortable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their smile or just have a dentist they can trust.
