Canarsie family dental on Flatlands Avenue
Smyleee Rating
Very Good
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.
Canarsie Family Dentistry runs a Flatlands Avenue practice covering everyday general dentistry — cleanings, fillings, crowns, and routine care for families across Canarsie and East Flatbush.

This was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a dental office. I had an 11:30 a.m. appointment, but I wasn’t seen until 1:20 p.m. — almost two hours later. When I was finally taken in, the assistant only brushed my teeth and removed some plaque. When I asked about flossing and the other usual cleaning steps I’ve received at other dental offices, I was told that those services are considered “deep cleaning.” I have never experienced that before at any other dentist. I then asked to speak with the lead doctor. She did address my concerns and told the assistant to complete the cleaning; however, her attitude came across as dismissive and unprofessional. This was my first time going there, and it will definitely be my last. If you’d like it a little stronger or more direct, I can adjust the tone further.
This was my first visit here after aging out of my parent’s insurance. I had been with my previous dentist for over 15 years, so I value thorough care and consistency. I arrived 20 minutes early but was not seen until 40 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. The cleaning felt rushed and incomplete. The scraping was minimal, my gums were nicked a couple of times, and my permanent retainer was not cleaned at all which has never happened before in the 13 years I’ve had it. While I appreciated being able to get an appointment the day after calling, the quality of care did not meet my expectations. I will be seeking another provider.
My Dental Hygenist Paula was very gental and comforting. She checked several times to make sure I was comfortable. I definitely recommend this office. Even though very busy everyone is kind and professional.
I had an amazing experience with the Dentist named Paula, she gave me a through deep cleaning…. She did the process seamlessly and I got a really good cleaning
