About Aura Dental NYC

Based on Duffield Street in Brooklyn, New York, Aura Dental NYC is a dental practice serving the area. Oral cancer screening is a standard part of a routine dental checkup — a visual and physical examination of the soft tissues looking for sores, lumps, or patches that have not healed. Early detection is the main reason regular attendance matters even when nothing seems wrong.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

The staff were very nice and helpful. The office was really clean and if they make you feel welcome. I wish I had known about this place a long time ago. 😁 🪥 🦷

I got a routine filling done here, and it caused pain when chewing on that side. I went back to the office 2x over the course of 5 months, and their solution was to redo the filling… so I did. That was 1 month ago, and to my astonishment and frustration, I’m still feeling discomfort when chewing on that side. I went back to my old dentist to get this checked out, and they said my last x-rays didn’t even indicate that I needed to get a filling… I can’t believe that I’m experiencing daily pain for a filling that I probably didn’t even need to do, and for the amount of time I’ve spent going back to the dentist in the last 6 months. I’ve had a cleaning done here before as well which was roughly done and unpleasant. I came to this place because of the high reviews and proximity to my apartment, and Dr. Nguyen seems competent and kind. But I’ve lost all trust in the other dentists working here. I so regret giving this place a chance.

From the time you walk through the door you receive nothing but great customer service. Dr. Nguyen greeting me when I arrived, Dr. Sheeba saw me for my dental visit today. Dr. Sheeba take the time to throughly check your teeth, clean them and go over everything with her patients. Christy at the front desk handled making my up coming appointments and verified my insurance coverage for them. She made sure I everything was explained to me before I left out. Great teamwork at this dentist office. Another plus for me was this is a very clean dentist office because details like this matter. I forgot the young lady’s name that took my dental x-rays but she was very patient and very kind. I highly recommend Aura Dental NYC!

If you have Healthfirst, don’t waste your time calling. They were designated by Healthfirst as my primary dentist but when I called to make an appointment, they refused to take me.

My experience with dentist in the past were not the best. They have cause a lot of pain and lasting results. But we needed to see the dentist and by the grace of God I found Aura Dental. Dr. Shevia was kind and quick—she explained everything to be done and considerate she was awesome. Dr. Chris is amazing, kind attentive and also listens to your needs. He is all about saving your teeth. Can’t find these two else where. Thank you to the both. To the receptionist, you ladies are amazing. Coming into the office is warm, a wonderful welcome, beautiful smiles, kind hearts and truly listen. My experience if I could give 100 stars I would. Thank you! -Yis

As a new patient I was extremely impressed with the atmosphere at Aura Dental; their offices feel very quaint and sophisticated. My Dentist, Dr. Monika was professional and very polite. After my routine cleaning she took her time to explain my follow-up deep cleaning procedure and answer all my questions. The whole experience was a 10 out of 10. I would definitely recommend Aura Dental to anyone looking for a new Dentist.
