Dr. Basilice was invited back to the NYU School of Dentistry to teach operative dentistry after completing his dental residency.
Dr. Basilice’s journey into dentistry began following a childhood incident that resulted in dental trauma. This experience, which required a decade of treatment from various dental specialists, inspired him to pursue a career in dentistry to help others regain their confidence and self-esteem.
Dr. Basilice's academic journey began at St. John's University, where he earned a BS in biology with an exceptional 3.9 GPA while participating in water polo, swim team, and tutoring university athletes. His outstanding performance on the DAT helped him secure his acceptance to the New York University School of Dentistry, where he completed the four-year program in just three years. After passing the National Dental Boards, Dr. Basilice completed a general surgical residency at Beekman Downtown Hospital in Manhattan, where he simultaneously established his first practice.
While serving as an admissions committee member at NYU and Beekman Downtown Hospital, Dr. Basilice reviewed over 1,000 applications and interviewed 250+ students. This experience honed his ability to pinpoint precisely what selective dental schools and dental residency programs seek in applicants.
Throughout his career, Dr. Basilice has built two successful dental practices—one on 5th Avenue in Manhattan and another in Suffolk County, Long Island—which he continues to operate today. His commitment to community service extended beyond dentistry when, following Hurricane Katrina, he founded EnviroSafe, a disaster recovery and relief company that has since assisted victims of other natural disasters including Superstorm Sandy. The company also specializes in virus decontamination for HVAC systems in schools and buildings. His humanitarian efforts have earned him recognition as a member of the FEMA National Council, the National Green Council, and the International Sustainability Council. He is also affiliated with the First and Tenth District National Dental Association and the National Association of Architects.
Dr. Basilice has dedicated over 20 years to mentoring and coaching aspiring dental professionals. He has maintained a comprehensive mentorship program in his practices, allowing pre-dental students and dental assistants to shadow him and explore the profession. His guidance has helped several individuals gain acceptance to top dental schools, including NYU, Stony Brook, the University of Connecticut, Boston University, the University at Buffalo, the University of Pennsylvania, and many others.
With Inspira Advantage, Dr. Basilice now offers his extensive expertise to guide prospective dental students through every stage of their journey—from undergraduate course selection and DAT preparation to application completion and interview preparation. His comprehensive approach, informed by his experience on admissions committees, provides students with invaluable insights into the dental school admissions process.

Our mission is to help every candidate realize their true potential. When you graduate from dental school, we want you to look back and be proud of yourself for achieving your dreams. As such, we want to make sure that your financial circumstances are not a barrier to success.
In keeping with our mission, we provide a small number of partial and full scholarships to our applicants. These are awarded after you start working with us and are based on both professional potential and financial need. Please note, these scholarships are only available for our All-Inclusive Package.
That said, we also want to make sure you are working with the best team, and attracting top talent is expensive. Hence, we’re not able to provide scholarships to everyone. Your project manager can tell you more about scholarship opportunities after we start the engagement.
Whether you need extensive or minimal dental school application help, we've got you covered. For dental school applicants who need support with only one or two aspects of their applications, we’ve broken down our all-inclusive offering into different phases of the application lifecycle, such as best-fit school selection, AADSAS application support, personal statement editing, interview prep, and holistic dental school application review.
For dental school applicants interested in a structured and rigorous preparation program, we have the complete end-to-end dental school application consulting services where you work with our top dental school admissions counselor for an extended period of time. They create a personalized plan to help you set and achieve targets, giving you a leg up when you apply. Your dental school admissions counselor helps you identify gaps in your profile and fill them through targeted activities such as volunteering, research, academic coursework, and more. Schedule a call to learn more.
Our admissions counselors are selected through an extremely rigorous process. We make sure they are knowledgeable, smart, courteous, personable, and professional. Further, you are paired with a coach based on your profile, background, and interests based on the information you provide through our comprehensive intake form.
However, it is very important that you get along with your pre-dental advisor. The quality of your application is directly dependent on how well you get along with them. We’ve realized building a relationship doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time to get to know each other, understand the candidate’s persona, and craft a strong application. We try not to prematurely undo progress by switching coaches.
That being said, if you have any issues, email us at ceo@inspiraadvantage.com and our CEO will personally reply to you within 48 hours. Your success is our topmost priority and we will go above and beyond to make sure you get accepted at your dream school. This includes switching your coach if needed.
Our project team consists of Graduate Coaches, writing experts, and former Admissions Committee members. You will work with a Graduate Coach, who will help you draft the perfect application. They are typically dentists who have served on an admissions committee, are experts at storytelling, enjoy mentorship, and know how to help candidates create compelling narratives.
They also make sure your grammar, tone, and sentence structure are in line with what dental schools expect. You will also be assigned a project manager. Their role will be to ensure your application documents are submitted well in advance of any deadlines.
Through our vast network of former Admissions Committee members, Graduate Coaches, and Inspira alumni, we are able to have our finger on the pulse and see what’s going on at top dental schools.
These insights are early and relevant, and they benefit you. We know before anyone else when and how the Admissions Committee at an institution is changing the intake criteria. We can use this to help to craft a relevant story.
Only 3% of prospective Graduate Coaches and former Admissions Committee members we speak with each year make it on our team and are selected to provide dental school application consulting services. We want to ensure that our applicants have the best experience, so choosing the right team members is of paramount importance to us.
We have a rigorous multi-step selection process. This includes personality fit, industry knowledge tests, and multiple real-life case simulations. Every member of our team is made to evaluate the applications of past candidates. This helps us evaluate the quality of their insights and communication skills. You can learn more about our selection process here.
We also conduct ongoing evaluations to make sure we are the right partners to help you fulfill your dental school dreams.
Creating the right application requires time and effort. It is our duty to make sure every consultant is able to dedicate time and effort to your application.
The number of clients each dental school admissions counselor works with depends on the nature of their role and additional commitments within the firm.
Some counselors might work with a small number of applicants who are applying to a lot of dental schools whereas others might work with more applicants who are applying to fewer schools.
You can be rest assured that even though members of our team wear many hats, your success is our topmost priority. If we have to choose between losing a potential client or allocating lesser time to current clients, we will choose the former any day.
