The Dentist Rewriting the Rules of Oral Health

Dr. Michael Gulizio built Core Smiles to do something most practices never attempt - treat the whole patient, not just the tooth.

When you step off the elevator onto the fourth floor of 1182 Broadway, you do not feel like you are visiting a dental office. The environment is considered, the energy is calm, and the team that greets you has clearly been selected for something beyond clinical competence. This is Core Smiles - and it reflects exactly what its founder set out to build.

Dr. Michael P. Gulizio, DMD, MS, is a prosthodontist with over two decades of experience treating patients with complex restorative, esthetic, and functional needs. His credentials are long: dual master's degrees in Dental Sciences and Education, a clinical career spanning porcelain veneers, full-mouth rehabilitation, implant restorations, and occlusal management. But it was his tenure as Program Director of the Advanced Esthetics and Occlusion Program at New York University - where he trained practicing dentists from around the world - that shaped his philosophy most profoundly.
"Patients often come to us when prior dental work has failed, or when esthetic goals need to be balanced with functional realities. That demands a higher level of planning - and a higher standard of care."
That standard is what Core Smiles was built to deliver. The practice spans the full spectrum of modern dentistry: preventive and routine care, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics via clear aligners, dental implants, All-on-4 full-arch solutions, laser and soft-tissue services, sleep apnea treatment, and one of the most comprehensive TMJ programs available in New York City. The TMJ approach alone - combining orthotics, therapeutic Botox, dry needling, and myofascial therapy - reflects a philosophy that oral health is inseparable from systemic wellbeing.

INNOVATION: Where dentistry meets the future of medicine

Dr. Gulizio has never been content to practice dentistry as it has always been practiced. Core Smiles is now among the first dental practices in the country to integrate peptide therapy into its clinical offerings - a development that positions the practice at the leading edge of a rapidly evolving wellness category. Peptides like BPC-157, recognized for their capacity to accelerate tissue healing and modulate inflammation, are being introduced as an adjunct to dental treatment: supporting post-procedural recovery, reducing oral inflammation, and beginning to bridge the gap between dentistry and regenerative medicine.

It is a bold move, and a deliberate one. In a city where patients are increasingly informed, increasingly discerning, and increasingly interested in what their oral health signals about the rest of their biology, Core Smiles is building the practice that meets them there.

THE TEAM: A roster built for complexity

Dr. Gulizio assembled a clinical team that mirrors his own commitment to depth. Dr. Steven Cordoves brings specialized expertise in implants and advanced restorative care. Dr. Kristina Rodriguez Salaverry, a periodontist and oral integrative health specialist, anchors the practice's systemic approach to gum and soft-tissue health. Dr. Matthew Goldstein and Dr. Matthew Meyer round out the aesthetic and general dentistry capabilities. Together, they offer continuity of care across every stage of a patient's oral health - under one roof, in one of Manhattan's most accessible NoMad locations.
"From routine cleanings to complex restorations and TMJ care - every stage of your oral health, managed with precision, in one place."

Evidence-based care. Advanced diagnostics. Transparent planning. These are not marketing phrases at Core Smiles - they are operational commitments backed by technology that includes digital imaging, precision restorative workflows, laser systems for minimally invasive soft-tissue treatment, and same-day crown solutions that eliminate the second appointment entirely.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Dentistry practiced at its highest level

New York City does not lack dental options. What it has lacked - until now - is a practice that combines the academic rigor of a specialty program, the full-service breadth of a comprehensive clinic, the aesthetic sensibility of a luxury experience, and the clinical courage to look ten years ahead. Core Smiles is that practice. Dr. Gulizio built it that way on purpose.
