About Central Ave Dental
Central Ave Dental operates on North Central Avenue in Valley Stream, New York. Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.
A professional cleaning removes the plaque and hardened tartar that brushing and flossing cannot reach, particularly along the gumline, and is the core of routine preventive care. Most people benefit from a cleaning roughly every six months, more often for those managing gum disease.
Affordable care means the practice sets out to make treatment accessible on a self-pay basis or through a payment arrangement, rather than assuming every patient arrives with comprehensive insurance. It is worth asking directly what options exist before assuming a needed treatment is out of reach.
General dentistry covers the routine and restorative care most people need most often — examinations, cleanings, fillings, and preventive checks that catch problems while they are still small and inexpensive to treat. Regular attendance, roughly every six months for most patients, is what makes that early-catch approach actually work.
Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

My hygienist Vanessa Perez is fantastic. I would deeply appreciate that all my visits for cleaning and other areas within her purview are with her. She was extremely informative and very responsive with content to communicate clearly to the questions and concerns that I had. I look forward to my engagement with the dentist today for further care.
Super welcoming and friendly place! They really took their time to explain everything, which makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Jayleen was so nice, it honestly felt like we’ve been friends since childhood haha. Vanessa was amazing too, super patient, and my cleaning was smooth and completely painless. The whole team makes you feel like they actually care about you, not just your teeth. Definitely one of the best dental experiences I’ve had…highly recommend!
Scheduling an appointment with this dental practice was very easy and convenient. The facility is clean, well maintained, and has a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff is professional, friendly, and courteous from the moment you walk in. A special shoutout to Vanessa, the hygienist, who was amazing. She did an excellent job with my cleaning, and it was literally pain free. She was gentle, thorough, and made the whole experience very comfortable. Overall, a great experience. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone looking for quality dental care.
I had an amazing experience at this dental office. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and professional. My hygienist, Vanessa, was fantastic—she was gentle, thorough, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Jayleen and Gail were also incredible and provided some of the best service I’ve ever received at a dental office. The whole team was friendly, attentive, and made the visit smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for great dental care and outstanding customer service!
Wow!! Great experience! I initially came in just to check if they accepted my insurance, and they took me right in. I ended up getting a cleaning, X-rays, and a written plan of action. This place is run extremely well. Gisselle at the front desk was very helpful, Jayleen did the X-rays quick and painless, Vanessa handled the cleaning and polishing and did a great job, and Dr. Espinoza finished up with a clear and thoughtful plan moving forward. Really impressed with the whole team. Highly recommend!
I truly enjoyed my experience as a new patient and first time visiting this amazing dentist office. At first I was very nervous about getting dental cleaning (after almost 4 years I haven’t done dental work up), my dental hygienist Vanessa made my experience truly comfortable and very informative about my next steps taking care of my teeth. Long story but short I was her patient before she got her dental hygienist degree at her college! From there I knew I had to follow her dental journey! Kudos to this phenomenal dental practice and staff members for the amazing experience! I highly recommend anyone to visit this dental practice and you won’t regret it at all!
