info_outlineOn this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Celebrity Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Victoria Veytsman, to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Dr. V is one of the most sought-after female celebrity dentists in her highly niche field, specializing in cosmetic dentistry, anti-aging dentistry and dento-facial aesthetics. With offices in New York City and Los Angeles plus a well-established roster of global A-list clients, no one understands the art of “the smile makeover” more than her.
She decided to open Cosmetic Dental Studios in her late twenties (no business plan, but a crystal clear vision of something totally unique), which was only the beginning of her disruption of a male-dominated industry. Since then, she has grown her female-founded business to oversee two private practices centered around wellness and well-being—on opposite coasts—and it’s her nurturing, hands-on approach that has continued to set her apart from her peers and attract an elite clientele.
Dr. V’s goal was to create a practice that organically attracted patients by exhibiting values like integrity, but she never imagined her mission would amount to an extensive celebrity roster. She is the official dentist of the Miss USA and Miss America organizations, as well as the New York Giants Cheerleaders, and she has treated a number of actors, models, and athletes, along the likes of Hailey Bieber, Madison Beer, Angela Bassett, Jeremy Piven, Kate Walsh, Dascha Polanco, and many more.
In this interview. Dr. V shares:
-Why she decided to open her own dental practice and the evolution of her business
-The importance of attracting clients that align with her business values
-How your smile is the gateway to your overall health
-How being first generation American has shaped her work ethic
-The intricate process behind her smile makeovers and how she’s working with brides for their big day
-Challenges she faces with balancing business and her personal life
-Common myths about cosmetic dentistry that aren’t true
