Dr. Gross and Dr. Kaplan met in 1980 at The Mount Sinai Hospital Dental Residency Program in New York City. Soon after, they became coordinators of the Mount Sinai Department of Dentistry, and in 1984 began a private dental practice on the Upper East Side.
Dr. Gross and Dr. Kaplan built their practice on the Upper East Side and, in 1995, moved into the current offices just off Fifth Avenue. Dr. Gross and Dr. Kaplan continue to offer patients expert dental care and a variety of specialized services.
On May 9, 2013, Dr. Mark Gross and Dr. Andrew Kaplan began showcasing original artwork by their patients, to benefit children in need of dental care worldwide. A percentage of the art purchased at these showcases are donated to Operation Smile and Dental Volunteers for Israel (DVI).
Dr. Mark Gross and Dr. Andrew Kaplan both graduated dental school in 1980, and have been partners for over thirty years. They began their partnership by coordinating the Mount Sinai Hospital’s Dental Department, and then joined together in private practice. They believe that dentistry is not just a science, but an art, and strive to achieve not only the optimum health of each patient, but the aesthetic beauty of their smile. Their love of art has inspired them to blanket their office walls with original art and sculpture.
Their love of dentistry and art has motivated them to begin the series of art exhibits to help those who are less fortunate. Our exhibiting artists have graciously agreed that a portion of the proceeds of the art will be donated directly to charity. Is there anything more beautiful, inspirational and mystical than a child’s smile?
There are millions of children that have never smiled, laughed, or for that matter eaten a meal without being in pain. It is those children the Dental Partners of 5th Avenue seek to help. They have chosen two charities dedicated to help children smile again. Operation Smile assists those with cleft lips and palates, while Dental Volunteers of Israel treats impoverished children regardless of religion or nationality. Dr. Gross and Dr. Kaplan invite everyone to stop by the office, and be inspired to help these children.
Supporting these two institutions will not only help thousands of children to smile, it will keep Dr. Gross, Dr. Kaplan and anyone who steps inside the Dental Partners of 5th Avenue office smiling for a long time.

TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- This practice is well run. The receptionist was friendly and helpful from booking the appointment and beyond. Their automated system was very convenient for appointment reminders and filling out forms before the visit. The hygienist (Christiani) was excellent in cleaning and brightening my smile. And Dr. Gross was very kind and caring with his check up. I appreciate that they don’t try to push products or services on you and actually listen to what you want or need.
- I've been coming to this office for over 23 years. Taking 2 trains from Brooklyn. Their customer service is excellent. The Dental Hygienist staff and Dr's Gross and Kaplan provide excellent care. Kudos to office staff Vicky and Tanya.
- Dr. Gross and Dr. Kaplan are the ultimate in combining professional expertise with kindness and sensitivity. They leave no stone unturned in finding the right solution to any problem. They opt for the least invasive approach whenever possible. They are exquisitely sensitive to the patient's comfort and succeed in creating virtually pain-free dentistry.
