Dental Care Planned Around Your Needs
No two patients arrive with the same priorities. You may want to replace a missing tooth, improve the appearance of your smile, address bleeding gums, understand persistent jaw discomfort, or simply get a clear plan for restoring your oral health. Our approach begins with listening to your concerns, reviewing your dental and medical history, completing the appropriate examination and imaging, and discussing suitable options in understandable terms.
We will explain what we see, which findings require attention, what alternatives may be available, and what to expect from the recommended treatment. Final recommendations depend on your examination, diagnostic findings, health history, and personal goals.
Meet Dr. Alexander Lezhansky
Dr. Alexander Lezhansky, DDS, FICOI, is the dentist identified by Bright Smile Design for its Manhattan and Brooklyn offices. He earned his dental degree from NYU College of Dentistry and completed a General Practice Residency at Montefiore Medical Center. His practice biography also lists completion of NYU’s two-year dental implant program, Associate Fellowship in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, Fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and training in Invisalign, LANAP, and airway-focused dentistry.
Dr. Lezhansky opened the Midtown Manhattan office in 2009. His goal is to help patients understand their oral-health needs and make informed choices rather than presenting treatment as a one-size-fits-all solution.
Dental Implants
Dental implants may replace a single missing tooth, support a bridge, or help stabilize a full-arch restoration. Planning may include an examination and diagnostic imaging to evaluate the available bone, adjacent teeth, bite, and overall oral health. Some patients may need preparatory treatment before implant placement, while others may have different restorative options. A consultation is necessary to determine whether implant treatment is appropriate for you
Cosmetic Dentistry and Porcelain Veneers
Cosmetic treatment can address concerns involving tooth color, shape, proportion, spacing, or worn dental work. Depending on your goals and clinical findings, options may include professional whitening, dental bonding, porcelain veneers, Invisalign, or restorative treatment. We will discuss the advantages, limitations, maintenance needs, and alternatives before treatment begins.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign treatment uses a planned series of clear aligners to move teeth gradually. An examination is needed to determine whether aligners are appropriate for your bite and goals. Dentist-supervised care also allows the treatment plan and progress to be reviewed throughout the process.
LANAP and Laser Gum Treatment
For appropriate patients with periodontal disease, LANAP uses a specialized dental laser as part of treatment for diseased gum tissue. Candidacy depends on the severity and pattern of gum disease, the condition of the teeth and supporting bone, and other health factors. A periodontal evaluation is required before recommending LANAP or another form of gum treatment.
TMJ and TMD Evaluation
Jaw pain, facial discomfort, limited opening, clicking, headaches, clenching, or tooth wear may have more than one cause. An evaluation can help determine whether the jaw joints, muscles, bite, teeth, or another condition may be contributing to your symptoms. Treatment recommendations vary and may include conservative dental care, an oral appliance, changes in habits, or referral to another qualified healthcare professional when appropriate
Holistic and Airway-Focused Dentistry
Our team considers oral health within the context of the whole patient. When relevant, treatment planning may include discussion of the bite, jaw development, breathing concerns, materials, home care, and coordination with other healthcare professionals. “Holistic” does not mean avoiding necessary diagnosis or evidence-based treatment; it means considering how dental findings and treatment choices fit your broader health needs.
Restorative and General Dental Care
Restorative care may include treatment for damaged, decayed, infected, or missing teeth. Depending on the diagnosis, options can include tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges, root canal therapy, implant restorations, or other appropriate treatment. Our goal is to help restore comfort and function while preserving healthy tooth structure whenever clinically possible.
Digital Technology for Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
The Manhattan office’s published services include 3D CBCT imaging and iTero digital impressions. These technologies may help the dental team collect detailed information for selected implant, restorative, orthodontic, or airway-related cases. Not every patient requires every type of scan; your dentist will recommend imaging based on the diagnostic need while considering radiation exposure and your health history.
