Who we are
Soul Dental is a women-owned multi-specialty dental practice with three convenient locations in Manhattan–Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen, and Upper West Side. Founded by Drs. Yuliya Alterman and Alexandra Yungelson, NYC’s Soul Dental represents the shared vision of two friends who met on their first day of dental school. They built the practice around a desire to deliver the very best in comprehensive oral healthcare while educating and connecting authentically with patients in the city they love.
Soul’s team of doctors is diverse, dedicated, and skilled. And while Soul Dental boasts a team of specialists and three locations, we’re also proud to report we have very low turnover. You can expect to see the same dentist, specialists, hygienists, and front desk team year after year. And we know you’ll love our personalized care, efficient appointments, and friendly staff.

Our hope is that you’ll enjoy your time visiting us and genuinely look forward to each visit.
Soul Dental’s team is as professional as they come, and we also believe in showing up as our full selves. We want you to feel you know us. We want you to feel comfortable sharing if you’re feeling fear about an upcoming procedure, or asking us whether it’s okay to kiss with Invisalign. Our goal for every patient is that they enjoy their visits, and we cherish our rapport with each and every one. And we want to know you too, because:
Dental care is much more than just having regular checkups or treating immediate dental issues. At Soul Dental, we believe in the value of comprehensive dental care for maintaining overall health, creating a radiant, confidence-boosting smile, and building a lasting relationship around your dental care. Let’s dive into what comprehensive dental care means and why it is so important.
Comprehensive dental care is a holistic, big-picture, long-term approach to oral health, which spans several key areas:
The goal of comprehensive care is not solely to address immediate issues but to maintain optimal oral health over the long term. We nurture our relationships with our patients, because we believe that strong relationships result in better care.

We strive to create an environment in which you feel truly cared for, so your visits with us feel rejuvenating, and most importantly, leave you smiling.
Each patient’s needs and preferences are unique. Thus, we take the time to understand your oral health history, lifestyle, and personal preferences to create a personalized treatment plan for you. We provide a highly individualized, patient-focused approach to ensure that your journey to a healthier smile is as enjoyable and rewarding as the results.
