Photo: Courtesy of Lowenberg, Lituchy & Kantor Marc Lowenberg may be one of the most famous cosmetic dentists in the world, but his first love was acting. He would put on shows in the backyard of his home in Elmont, NY, for anyone who would watch, and when it was time for college, he chose theater as his major. But a few words from his father shifted the course of his path.
This time, the chalk didn’t break. And today, the patient list of Lowenberg, Lituchy & Kantor reads like the table of contents of Vanity Fair. It’s not uncommon to spot a recognizable politician, actor, or musician in the Central Park South waiting room, where Lowenberg has been since 1973. The practice recently underwent a major renovation, largely to make room for its newest member, ceramist Jason Kim.
“He came up to me afterwards with tears in his eyes,” remembers Lowenberg. “He said, ‘I’m so sorry, I should have believed in you.’” The beauty industry has come a long way. Brands are more aware of what they’re putting in their products, and where/how they’re sourcing the ingredients.
