Sama, derived from the Sanskrit word for “balance and equilibrium,” offers a revolutionary approach to oral health that feels more like a luxurious spa than a conventional dentist’s office. With its airy, sculptural interiors crafted by Ringo Studio—the creative force behind retail spaces for major brands like Glossier and Bala, plus wellness studios like Modern Age—Sama is designed to be a sanctuary. The serene, spa-like atmosphere helps patients relax, making dental visits stress-free and even indulgent.
Since its opening in the heart of the Flatiron District, Sama has redefined the relationship between oral care and longevity. Dr. Jaskaren Randhawa, the visionary founder of Sama, is committed to transforming how we perceive dental health. “There is a lot of dental anxiety, and the dental office is often not a place where people feel comfortable, aesthetic or relaxing,” says Randhawa. “I founded Sama to redefine the dental experience—not just treating your teeth, but supporting your overall well-being and longevity.”
With a core philosophy that good oral health is the foundation of overall wellness, Sama’s mission is to help individuals achieve longevity and vitality through exceptional dental care. From personalized services to advanced technologies, Sama fosters a comprehensive approach to health by ensuring oral care is integral to one’s holistic well-being. Offering an extensive range of dental services—including implants, Invisalign, veneers and full smile rehabilitation—Sama is committed to both the aesthetic and functional aspects of oral care. By integrating advanced technology, such as AI diagnostics, oral microbiome testing and salivary diagnostics, and 3D smile design, Sama ensures the most accurate and effective treatments. But Sama’s commitment to well-being extends far beyond traditional dental care.
Holistic offerings at Sama include a luxurious comfort menu designed for relaxation: Brazilian massage chairs, eye masks, heated towels, noise-canceling headphones and private ceiling entertainment enhance the patient experience. In addition, Sama provides concierge functional MD services, including primary care visits and custom IV drips, to support optimal health. For those seeking rejuvenation, the practice also offers a range of facial treatments like microneedling, PRF, salmon DNA facials, Botox, fillers and red-light therapy. To further support wellness, patients can unwind in the center’s on-site infrared sauna, leaving not just with a beautiful smile but a sense of rejuvenation from head to toe.
“I wanted Sama to be more than just a dental practice,” says Randhawa. “It’s a space where health, wellness and beauty converge, where patients can receive comprehensive care for their entire body—starting with their teeth. It’s about elevating the entire experience, with a focus on long-term health and vitality.”
At the core of Sama’s mission is holistic health and personalized wellness. Randhawa designed the practice to help patients achieve balance, starting with oral health and the microbiome. Sama takes a 360-degree approach to wellness, exploring the deep connections between the mouth, microbiome and overall well-being. By addressing these foundational links, Sama promotes longevity and vitality. The belief is simple: Health and longevity begin in the mouth. By integrating cutting-edge dental care with holistic therapies, Sama empowers patients to take control of their health and live longer, healthier lives.
Sama accepts all major preferred provider organization dental insurance plans and accommodates patients without insurance through three membership tiers, each designed and customized to patient needs: Prevent ($60 per month or $595 per year); Premium ($150 per month or $1,495 per year); and Prevent & Perfect ($450 per month or $5,000 per year).
As a special offer for Purist readers, Sama is offering an exclusive complimentary wellness consultation with an in-person visit.
