Dentistry, without the dread.

A neighbourhood practice in Brooklyn where the room is bright, the schedule runs on time, and nobody talks you into anything.

Book a visit

First visit, made easy.

Nothing about a first appointment here is a surprise. Here is the whole of it, in order, so you can read it before you decide.

Before you come in

You send us the short form and the name of your plan. We ask two questions nobody else asks: what you want out of the visit, and what you would rather we did not do.

The first hour

Fifteen minutes of talking, then the exam — each tooth, existing work, gums, bite, soft tissue. Images only if the interval is due or something specific prompts them. No treatment on day one unless you are in pain and ask for it.

A plan in writing

You leave with the next appointment booked and, by that evening, an email listing what we saw, what we would do first, what can wait, and what each part costs.

New patient details

Care, complete.

Six things, done properly, in one room. Three of them are what most people come in for.

Exams & imaging

A check-up here takes about forty minutes. We go through each tooth and any existing work, measure the gums, look at how your teeth meet, and check the soft tissue. Digital images are taken when the interval is due or when something specific prompts them, not by default at every visit.

What this involves

Cleanings & gum care

A hygienist charts the gum measurements first, then removes deposits with an ultrasonic scaler and hand instruments and polishes afterwards. If you have had a rough time with cleanings before, tell us at the start and we work in shorter passes with breaks you control.

What this involves

Fillings & crowns

Fillings are composite, shaded against the tooth beside them. We numb first, then wait and check the numbness has taken before anything else happens — that wait is built into the appointment length rather than borrowed from it.

What this involves

Everything we do

Six services, one room.

This is the whole list. If something needs a specialist we say so and send you to one — that happens a few times a year and it is not a failure.

All services in detail

Before you book

What a visit feels like.

Nobody can promise you how your own hour will go. What we can do is set out exactly what happens in ours, in the order it happens.

Checking in

No clipboard stack — the form you sent is already in your file. There is coffee, a chair by the window, and a wait that is usually under five minutes because we do not stack the diary.

In the chair

Headphones, a blanket if you want one, and a running commentary only if you want one. Raise a hand and everything stops, however far in we are. Nobody here treats that as an interruption.

On the way out

The next appointment is booked before you leave and the written plan lands in your inbox the same evening — your inbox, not a portal with a password you would have to go and find.
