The Art of the Smile

NYC’s real-life tooth fairy promotes dental health, one piece of art at a time

When Dr. Lee Gause arrived in Manhattan nine years ago, he made it a point to deliver the highest quality dental care with a focus on advanced technology and patient care. The exceptional service and its results have been winning over patients—many even fly across the country for an appointment. But his proudest achievement is the newly launched Smile Design Gallery. Working closely with artists and galleries, Dr Gause merges a passion for art with dental philanthropy. He has successfully tapped the art market to provide much needed funds to treat patients who would normally go without dental care due to financial constraints.
