Born and raised in New York and a first generation American, hard work, ethics and determination shaped her journey. Finishing high school by 16 and then by age 22, she became the youngest ever graduate of the New York University College of Dentistry doctorate program. She then moved on to complete her residency at St. Luke’s Roosevelt through the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. After excelling in the core basics of dentistry, her practice vision and patient philosophy began to take form. Her goal was to transform smiles through the art and science of cosmetic dentistry with the end goal of building confidence and self-esteem. “I really believe in the power of transformation. That we all have the innate ability to change and make our lives better-- whether it be through a new smile or a habit, I’m so privileged to be a part of that journey with people” Dr. V says.

She decided to open Cosmetic Dental Studios in her late twenties (no business plan, but a crystal clear vision of something totally unique), which was only the beginning of her disruption of a male-dominated industry. Since then, she has grown her female-founded business to oversee two private practices centered around wellness and well-being—on opposite coasts—and it’s her nurturing, hands-on approach that has continued to set her apart from her peers and attract an elite clientele. Appointments are hard to come by with her in-demand reputation as “the smile whisperer,” but that’s because every patient receives the time and attention they deserve, even if it means seeing only one very long patient case per day at times.

The fit was natural—a prolific pencil portrait artist since childhood, Dr. Veytsman had always been captivated by the face and its subtle nuances. Her passion led her to study dentofacial aesthetics with top mentors across the country, where she refined her innate ability to assess not just the mouth, but the entire face as a whole. With extensive training under her belt, Dr. Veytsman began designing smiles that create symmetry, harmony, and balance—resulting in a natural boost of confidence. Her work is a true fusion of art, science, and wellness.

Dr. Veytsman takes a 360-degree, holistic approach to care, tailoring every treatment to address the root causes of dental concerns while considering the entire face and its features. This comprehensive philosophy is the essence of dentofacial aesthetics. Another cornerstone of her practice is anti-aging dentistry—where she can take 15 to 20 years off a patient’s appearance simply by restoring youth, volume, and vibrancy to the smile.

What truly sets Dr. Veytsman apart is her ability to recognize the emotional and psychological impact of her work. She understands that few things affect self-esteem more than being self-conscious about your smile. “A smile you’re insecure about can deeply impact your confidence,” says Dr. V. “I’ve seen lives change just by eliminating those insecurities. We build confidence through smiles.”

Dr. Veytsman continues her education through dental seminars and workshops in full-mouth rehabilitation and aesthetic internationally. She has trained extensively for years in cosmetic dentistry and full mouth reconstruction.
