A Master Craftsman of Custom Smiles
Just as a master artisan creates bespoke masterpieces, Dr. Sheikh designs personalized treatment plans unique to each patient’s oral health needs. He approaches dentistry not with a one-size-fits-all mentality, but with the precision of an architect—carefully analyzing, planning, and crafting solutions that harmonize with your individual dental structure, aesthetic desires, and lifestyle requirements.
This patient-centered philosophy means you’re not just receiving treatment; you’re experiencing care thoughtfully tailored to your specific journey toward optimal oral health.

He continued his specialized training at NYU where he completed a 2-year Implantology Fellowship in surgical placement and restoring dental implants.
