Inside a Washington Heights Practice Where Dental Implants Are Designed and Milled In-House — Without Cutting the Gums

NEW YORK, NY — On Fort Washington Avenue in Washington Heights, a dental practice has quietly built one of the more technologically distinctive implant and cosmetic programs in Manhattan, pairing in-house digital fabrication with a doctor who is one of a small number of providers in New York City trained in the Six Month Smiles clear braces system. Esthetix Dental Spa, operating under Estheticare Dental Consultant PC, has earned a perfect 100 Dental.me Score and a 5-star average rating across 347 reviews — a reflection of a practice built deliberately around two specialties: dental implants and cosmetic dentistry.

A Practice Built Around a Clear Specialty

Rather than trying to be everything to everyone, Esthetix Dental Spa has organized its entire patient experience around implant dentistry and smile aesthetics, from porcelain veneers and crowns to full smile makeovers, Advanced Zoom Bleaching, and dental implants for patients missing one or more teeth. That focus is matched by equipment: an intraoral scanner replaces traditional, uncomfortable impression trays with a fast, precise 3D digital model of a patient's teeth, while digital and 3D cone-beam imaging lets the doctors evaluate bone quality and plan implant placement, sinus anatomy, and nerve positioning before a single instrument touches a patient.

Two Doctors, One Philosophy

The clinical team is anchored by Dr. Divya Adusumilli, a graduate of the New York University College of Dentistry who has practiced general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and orthodontics for over nine years alongside co-founder Dr. Arvind Philomin. She is certified in IV sedation and is a Preferred Premiere Provider for Invisalign, but it is her orthodontic training that sets her apart: Dr. Adusumilli is one of a limited number of providers in New York City offering the Six Month Smiles system, a clear braces approach designed to correct bite and alignment issues in adults in six months or less. Her professional affiliations reinforce that specialization — she holds Sustaining membership in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, belongs to the International Association of Orthodontics, and is a Fellow of the International Congress of Implantology.

Dr. Philomin, her co-founder, has developed an approach to implant dentistry that leans heavily on the practice's digital infrastructure. Using 3D-scanned patient data converted into surgical planning software, he is able to place implants with a flapless technique in appropriate cases — avoiding the need to cut the gums or place unnecessary sutures, which can reduce post-operative pain and swelling. The practice goes a step further by fabricating replacement teeth using in-house CAD/CAM technology, keeping design and production under one roof rather than outsourcing to an outside lab.

The Patient Experience

Reviewers consistently point to the same theme: a team that slows down, explains treatment plans clearly, and makes technical dentistry feel approachable. One patient, writing about an Invisalign experience that began over the summer, described being treated like family from the first visit. The practice has built its culture intentionally around that feeling. "At Esthetix Dental Spa, we have put in a great deal of thought and effort into creating an enjoyable patient experience," the practice says of its approach — a philosophy visible in everything from the comfort-focused office design to Dr. Adusumilli's own stated goal of changing the stereotypical dental visit into one that is pain-free and positive. Patients also note that the team communicates comfortably across languages, with Spanish-speaking patients specifically praising how clearly their care was explained in their own language.

Community Roots and Continuing Education

Dr. Adusumilli describes education as central to her outlook on life, both professionally and personally. She has remained committed to continuing education throughout her career to stay current with evolving techniques in cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics, and she extends that same commitment to community involvement outside the office, taking part in fundraising for organizations including the Boys and Girls Club and Toys for Tots. That dual investment — in clinical skill and in the neighborhood around Fort Washington Avenue — has helped build a practice that serves patients throughout Manhattan and the Bronx.

Access for New and Returning Patients

Esthetix Dental Spa maintains a schedule built for working patients, open Monday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with additional hours offered on Saturday and Sunday and the office closed Wednesdays. The practice actively promotes a new-patient special and lists dental emergency pain among the concerns it addresses directly, giving both new and established patients a clear path to care.
