Dr. Ziad Jalbout

Doctor of Dental Surgery

Dr. Jalbout, a graduate of New York University College of Dentistry, has 20 years of experience in aesthetic and implant dentistry. After graduating from dental school, he worked for several years in New Jersey before starting his own practice in New York City in 2009.

Giving You the Smile You Deserve

Dr. Jalbout helps his patients achieve beautiful smiles by maintaining existing teeth, replacing missing teeth and preserving and restoring all support structures such as bones and gums to give you that perfect smile. He brings his aesthetic skills to everything he does from standard tooth colored fillings, porcelain inlays and onlays, veneers, crowns, bridges, aligner treatment, bone grafting and implant placement to total restoration and cosmetic dentistry.

Dr. Jalbout helps patients achieve the best smile possible through a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to treatment. In particular he helps patients improve their smiles, their confidence, and their oral health by using veneers, aesthetic (non-metallic) restorations, and implants. He transitions patients from having removable appliances into having fixed teeth, and he assists elderly patients to achieve better chewing capacity through the use of dental implants to anchor their prosthesis.

Dr. Jalbout’s Education History

Dr. Jalbout earned a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree, completed a two-year full time Program in Implant Dentistry and a one-year full time Fellowship in Implant Dentistry at New York University College of Dentistry.

Dr. Jalbout obtained his National Board Certificate from the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations in 2000 and was certified by the North East Regional Board of Dental Examiners in 2003. Dr. Jalbout holds active dental licenses in New York and New Jersey.

Diana Acosta

Special Project Coordinator

I have been working with Dr. Jalbout since 2012. I have worked in the dental field for over 20 years and gained both clinical and administrative expertise during this time. Dentistry became one of my biggest passions in life along with environmental and social-cultural issues. I am bilingual in Spanish and English.

Our patients are an essential part of the practice and we make sure that they are well informed both clinically and financially. I will make sure you can feel part of our office and have a stress free zone here.

In my spare time, I love to volunteer for great causes; few years ago, I was part of the photo team for the Revlon Marathon. Also, I’ve been part of two medical missions overseas; such a rewarding experience. I have a niece who is my sunshine. Family and good friends are a big part of me.

See you soon!
