Dr. Shumantovs Qualifications and Experience: Dr. Veselin Shumantov holds a dual DDS degree and is a licensed dentist in Europe and the United States. Dr. Shumantov received his U.S. training at NYU College of Dentistry. He has been in practice since 1999 when he graduated from the Dental School at Medical University in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Dr. Shumantov comes from a family of dentists and was exposed early to the professional dental field. His father was the Dental Clinic Director of the hospital at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and hismother is still actively practicing dentistry in Sofia.
Dr. Shumantov has been active in communicating, learning, and collaborating with the most prominent dentists in New York City, Europe, and Asia. He has a large network of dental specialists that he has learned from and consults with regularly. He often refers to his mentors and is grateful for their inspiration and guidance.
Using a personal touch, interaction, humanity, common sense, skills, knowledge, and technology, Dr. Shumantov provides the safest and most esthetic dentistry that is available today. He enjoys creating individualized, simple, or multi-disciplinary treatment plans, customizing them according to each patients priorities and possibilities. Dr. Shumantov executes dentistry with precision, attention to detail, and artistic finish.
Patients from all over the world have visited for: occlusal assessment and adjustments by minimal interference with existing dentition minimally invasive options and alternatives to aggressive dentistry cosmetic reconstructions without sacrificing valuable tooth structure metal-free zirconium oxide ceramic implants safe removal of symptomatic titanium implants without malicious bone trauma, no drilling, no trephines, and no tissue loss. flapless surgical procedures for preventing complications and accelerated healing and recovery sinus lifts and its alternatives; sinus graft material alternatives as a way to reduce sinus infections and complications laser-assisted surgeries bone reconstruction using the patients own blood-derived growth factors for fast and predictable bone formation bone-sparing vibrational piezosurgery (versus drills) custom-made bone implants to create a solid base for dental implants
Dental phobia: Fear of the dentist is a problem that prevents many patients from achieving their dream smile. One convenient option is sleep dentistry which includes an IV sedation with a specialist anesthesiologist. Although this is a valid option that the Center for Advanced Dentistry offers, it does carry certain risks.
Dr. Shumantov prefers different and safer approach: one-on-one desensitization and elimination of the fear by changing the patients perception of the dentist as a threat. It is not uncommon for Dr. Shumantovs patients to fall asleep in the dental chair while having a dental procedure performed.

I cannot say enough of how lucky I feel finding Dr.Shumantov. His professionalism as a cosmetic dentist and the top-notch quality work makes him truly unique. The multiple ceramic implants he put in started feeling as the natural teeth from the moment they were in. And they are beautiful! He created a well planed schedule and made sure that I understood every detail. His is very patient and pays his full attention to how I responded during the procedures. He suggested the post-op options that addressed my concerns of using some specific medications. Dr.Shumantov always accommodates the scheduling conflicts and finds an extra time when I needed it. It has been over a year since I first came to his office and every next visit only reaffirms my initial experience of working with a dentist who really loves his job, thinks of his patients and all around is the best dentist you can find... Thank you so much, Dr. Shumantov, you are FANTASTIC!

I am writing this as an open letter to anyone who needs a dental implant and wants to use the most biocompatible material available in zirconia. Please be advised that there is only one dentist in the greater New York City area, and perhaps the entire United States for that matter, that has the requisite knowledge, skill, and experience to place this type of implant properly. This dentist is Dr. Veselin Shumantov DDS. What I have learned is that others can say they have the necessary training and certification to do the procedure, but such empty statements cannot match the real life experience of over ten years with the zirconia material that Dr. Shumantov possesses. By being initially trained in Europe, where zirconia has been used extensively for over the past fifteen years, Dr. Shumantov has a distinct advantage over other dental surgeons in the US who most likely took a weekend seminar to establish a bare minimum proficiency. I can only share with you, from bitter painful experience, what happened when I wanted a metal-free implant and went looking for a dentist in NYC who could do this procedure. I was first led to the mecca of dentistry in New York - the Central Park South region of the City - where I found some of the most expensive and highly marketed names in the trade. I was immediately told that they could do this type of implant and not to worry since the surgeon had "the most experience of anybody with zirconia". Well, after placing implants in teeth 8 and 10, I was informed by a restorative dentist that the implant on #10 was showing too many threads and would most likely fail. Here I was about to learn how false promises soon become very costly. Being a dental novice, I did not understand the implications of his concern and it was not until I researched further and found Dr. Shumantov that I understood how it had become an active source of infection with compromised restorative value. He proceeded to remove the implant as part of a continuing treatment plan for my front and back teeth, which included implants at teeth 7, 9, 13, and 30. I was immediately put at ease with his calm and focused surgical presence and have been very pleased with the results of his expertise. Dr. Shumantov's experience with zirconia implants afforded him with ability to properly assess my bone, which I have come to learn is really crucial for their optimal placement. I hope that those who read this can benefit from my experience and will make an informed choice for their zirconia implantologist - will you want someone who has placed, at best, a handful as an adjunct to their regular dental practice or do you want someone like Dr. Shumantov who has committed a major portion of his life's work to perfecting the zirconia implant procedure? For myself, stating Dr. Shumantov is an easy choice and all I can say is later was better than never...
