“I have always had a passion to create something that would revolutionize aesthetic dentistry training and care,” said Dr. Rosenthal. “I selected the NYU College of Dentistry not only because I am an alumnus, but because NYU is a recognized leader in the field of aesthetic dentistry. Now, dentists just starting out will have the advanced knowledge and tools to create beautiful, naturally-looking smiles, using the latest techniques.
