Meet Dr. Arthur Volker, DDS, MSc, MSEd, FAGD, FACD
Dr. Arthur Volker is a co-founder of SOL Dental Arts in Maspeth, Queens, and a nationally recognized cosmetic and restorative dentist. He graduated from Columbia University's School of Dental and Oral Surgery and completed a General Practice Residency at the New York Hospital of Queens. Dr. Volker served as a clinical attending at Coler-Goldwater Specialty Hospital and Nursing Facility, where he was Vice-Chairman of the hospital's Graduate Medical Education Committee. Today, he practices alongside Dr. Aadel Soleymani at SOL Dental Arts with a focus on minimally invasive, microscope-enhanced dentistry.
Clinical Philosophy
The healthiest tooth is the one we leave alone. Dr. Volker's clinical philosophy — formalized in his Diplomate status with the World Congress of Minimally Invasive Dentistry — shapes how every cosmetic and restorative case is planned at SOL Dental Arts. In practice, that means recommending composite bonding before veneers when bonding can do the job, choosing no-prep or minimal-prep veneers where the case allows, and using bonded restorations instead of full crowns when there's enough healthy tooth structure to preserve. The result is dentistry that ages well, preserves natural enamel, and looks like the best version of the patient — not someone else's smile.
