Dr Carlos J. Huerta

Dr. Carlos J. Huerta received his DMD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in Philadelphia in 2004 and completed a post-graduate advanced residency in general dentistry at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia in 2005, advancing his skills in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, as well as in surgical procedures and endodontics. With a background and continued hobby in the arts, Dr. Huerta’s talent adds to his creative approaches to aesthetic dental treatment and to his ingenuity in effecting not only physical stability in the environment but also in using light and shadow and other nuances to create the illusion of ideal aesthetics with minimal alteration to the healthy tooth structure. Having an undergraduate major in humanities, Dr. Huerta also has lived abroad and has continued to feed his interest in learning about diverse cultures and languages, continually increasing his understanding of the human element in dental treatment, and contributing more every day to his endearing relationship with his patients. Since his move to New York in 2005, Dr. Huerta expanded his practice into clear aligner orthodontic treatment, and after opening The Dental Boutique, he has further expanded into the age of digital dentistry with CAD/CAM technology (intraoral imaging, CBCT 3D X-rays, and 3D printing). With these digital tools, patients can have more precise same-day crowns, night guards, and orthodontic aligners and retainers, as well as guided implant placement and restoration. In addition, Dr. Huerta uses a carbon dioxide laser to replace the drill for injection-free fillings and to replace the scalpel for intraoral surgeries, biopsies, and gum depigmentation. He continues to expand his knowledge on various maxillofacial procedures such as perioral therapeutic and cosmetic treatments, among others.
