About Smile Creators Dental
Modern Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry in the Heart of Midtown Manhattan
Smile Creators Dental is a Midtown Manhattan dental practice focused on cosmetic and restorative care — from routine checkups and cleanings to full smile transformations with veneers, implants, and Invisalign.
Our office combines modern technology — digital scanning, laser whitening, and precision imaging — with a calm, patient-first approach. Every treatment plan is built around clear communication, transparent pricing, and results that last. No pressure, no surprises, no judgment.
Conveniently located steps from Grand Central Terminal, we welcome patients from across Manhattan and the New York metro area.
Meet Dr. Leonid Shimanov, DDS
Cosmetic & Restorative Dentist | Midtown Manhattan, NYC | 20+ Years of Experience
Dr. Leonid Shimanov — known to many of his patients as Dr. Leo — is the lead clinician at Smile Creators Dental in Midtown Manhattan. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine in 2000 and has spent more than two decades helping New Yorkers achieve healthier, more confident smiles.
His practice focuses on cosmetic and restorative dentistry — dental implants, Invisalign clear aligners, porcelain veneers, crowns and bridges, and full smile makeovers. He pairs modern tools — digital scanning, laser whitening, and precision imaging — with a calm, patient-first chairside manner that makes even nervous patients feel at ease.
What sets his practice apart is consistency. Treatment plans are designed for natural-looking, long-lasting results without surprises or upsells. Patients know exactly what to expect, what it costs, and what their smile will look like before treatment begins.

Lead Clinician — Smile Creators Dental, Midtown Manhattan
A Patient-First Philosophy
"Dentistry should never feel like a lecture. Patients come in because they want help, not judgment. My job is to listen first, explain the options clearly, and let them make the right call for their life and budget."
— Dr. Leonid Shimanov, DDS
For Dr. Shimanov, great dentistry is about more than clinical skill — it's about communication. Many patients arrive at Smile Creators Dental after frustrating experiences elsewhere: rushed appointments, unclear pricing, treatments that didn't last, or feeling lectured about their oral hygiene. His goal is to be different.
That means honest recommendations, no pressure to upsell unnecessary procedures, and care that genuinely fits each patient's life. Whether you're coming in for a routine cleaning, considering Invisalign, or planning a full smile transformation, you'll be treated as a partner in your care — not a number on a chart.
