About Canarsie Family Dentistry
Canarsie Family Dentistry sits on Flatlands Avenue in the heart of Canarsie, the southeast Brooklyn neighborhood where the residential blocks run quiet and the dental practices tend to be smaller, multi-generational, and closely tied to the families they've served for years. This is one of those — a general practice handling the everyday dental needs of the surrounding community rather than chasing specialty volume.
Cavity work makes up a routine portion of the schedule. The team uses tooth-colored composite materials by default, with single-surface and multi-surface restorations, replacement fillings when older work has failed, and the call between filling and crown when more tooth structure has been lost. Beyond fillings, services cover cleanings, exams, root canals, crowns and bridges, extractions, gum-disease screening, teeth whitening, and emergency visits. The team will be honest when a small early-stage cavity should be watched rather than drilled now — not every dark spot on an X-ray needs immediate treatment, and a practice that says so is more useful than one that fills everything visible.
If you've been told several cavities at one practice but you suspect the recommendations are aggressive, a second-opinion exam at a more conservative office gives you a comparison read on the same teeth.
Patients searching for preventive and restorative dentist in Brooklyn, family dentist in Brooklyn, or affordable family dental care in Brooklyn often choose smaller neighborhood practices when continuity and a slower visit pace matter more than volume efficiency. Plan on a thorough new-patient exam before any restorative work — full X-rays, periodontal screening, and a treatment-plan walkthrough. For Canarsie, Flatlands, and East Flatbush residents looking for a long-term family dental home that knows the community, this Flatlands Avenue practice belongs on the shortlist. Six-month recall scheduling is the strongest predictor of which patients catch problems early, and most practices will book the next visit before you leave the current one if you ask while you're checking out.
Based on Flatlands Avenue in Brooklyn, New York, Canarsie Family Dentistry provides cosmetic dentistry and root canal treatment alongside routine dental care. The practice is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Contact details and a full list of services are on this page.

Great job
Very dishonest and shady they were also on the news for there deceptive practices
My hygienist was gentle, informing, patient with me and my teeth
If I could give 0 stars, I would. This place feels like a complete scam. They charge you for everything, even when you have insurance. Make sure you get a second opinion and fully understand what you’re being charged for before agreeing to anything. I definitely would not recommend this place.
These people are scammers, do not go here. My father had gotten a bridge procedure done. They told him our insurance doesn’t cover the full cost so he would have to take out a loan and they will file a claim (to our insurance) for reimbursement. This procedure happened in FEBRUARY. After time passed with no update, my father followed up and called insurance on AUGUST 13 and asked if the claim was filed; it was not. My father then called this office to complain that the claim was not filed, and they insisted it was. The dentist then filed the claim on AUGUST 18, months after the original procedure, and after the office told us it was already filed. If we did not check up on this I don’t know if it would’ve ever been done. They trick people in to predatory loans and try to get off on you, it’s disgusting. What is the point of an in network provider if we have to go through loops for service.
Had a cleaning done, staff was super respectful and treated me well…would definitely recommend.
Listen to the bad reviews! Just made an appt here because they were closest location to me on my insurances’ website. Weirdest dental experience in my life. Definitely trying to take advantage of patients to get them to pay out of pocket - meanwhile the office is dingy and patient rooms are not clean. Doctor had a crazy ego, didn’t even say hello or introduce himself, just started trying to sell me a procedure. I would happily pay out of pocket if the appointment wasn’t rushed, chaotic, and unclean. Hard pass.
I will NEVER come back to this dentist. If I could give this place a 0 stars, I would. Each year I come, I have to wait hours and end up going to the front desk because I haven't been seen. This dentist's office must think people have time to waste or don’t have anything to do. My last push was on June 29, 2026. My appointment was at 1:30pm. I arrived around 1:15pm, still on time. Sitting down waiting for so long, people who came after me got seen and left. Around 3:30 something, I had to go to the front desk to ask why I wasn't being seen, and they asked me a stupid question if “I left at any point,” like I know she saw me sitting in that same seat for hours. Fast forward: after being called in for an X-ray, the technician said they didn’t give her my papers. This is a different level of unprofessionalism: someone who is in charge of passing the paper to the technician is not doing their job and needs to be FIRED ASAP. This dentist will never see my face again. I blame myself for coming for so long and putting up with this crap.
Not the greatest at all . The receptionist were very rude not respectable at all with my mom. Not recommend to no one. Very high price for dentures
Worst office dentist I ever experienced I was scheduled for a root canal last minute they called me to tell me the provider doesn’t take my insurance I go ahead schedule for tooth extraction and I come today they got me 45 mins exactly to tell em they can’t do the procedure. What a waste of time
