About Downtown Dental
Downtown Dental sits on State Street in Boerum Hill, the brownstone-belt residential neighborhood between Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope that's known for tree-lined blocks and a mix of working professionals, families with young kids, and longtime residents. The practice handles general dentistry for that local catchment — routine cleanings, fillings, restorative work, and the day-to-day mix that anchors a regular dental relationship rather than narrow specialty care.
Cavity work covers the routine general-dentistry range. The team uses tooth-colored composite as the default material across most cases, handling single-surface fillings, multi-surface restorations, replacement work when older fillings have failed, and the call between filling and crown when tooth structure has been compromised. Beyond fillings, services include cleanings, exams, root canals, crowns and bridges, extractions, gum-disease screening, and emergency visits. They'll walk through cost options when several treatment paths are clinically reasonable rather than defaulting to the most expensive option as the recommendation.
If you've moved to Boerum Hill or Cobble Hill and you're picking a new dentist within walking distance of your apartment, a comprehensive new-patient exam here is a low-stakes way to test the practice fit.
Patients searching for dentist accepting new patients in Brooklyn, NY, family dentist in Brooklyn, or general dentistry in Brooklyn, NY who live in Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, or Downtown Brooklyn often choose practices like this one for the residential proximity and routine availability. Downtown Dental fits that walking-distance pattern. The new-patient appointment typically combines comprehensive X-rays, periodontal screening, and a treatment-plan walkthrough into a single first visit. For Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, and Brooklyn Heights residents picking a regular general dental practice, this State Street office is a reasonable first appointment. It's worth asking whether the practice files insurance directly or expects payment up front and reimbursement separately, because the answer materially shifts how much you pay out of pocket on the visit day.

Services Offered
General Dentistry
General dentistry at Downtown Dental covers routine exams, cleanings, fillings, and decay prevention — the everyday care that keeps a Boerum Hill smile healthy.
Dental Cleaning
Professional dental cleanings remove the plaque and tartar that brushing misses, protecting the gums and helping the dentist catch early decay.
Crowns & Bridges
Crowns and bridges restore damaged or missing teeth — a crown caps a weakened tooth, while a bridge spans the gap left by lost teeth.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment clears infection from inside a tooth, relieving pain and saving a natural tooth that would otherwise be lost.
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dental care addresses urgent problems such as a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or a lost filling, with prompt attention to relieve pain.

Everyone there is so friendly and helpful! I originally just came in for a second opinion on a filling, but liked them so much I started going here for everything after that.
The staff is super supportive and friendly and the DDS are considerate and take the time to listen to my needs. I feel like I am truly taken care of at this practice and would recommend them to anyone who needs dental care.
Love the clean comfy cozy setting and the attentive care. My cleaning was excellent! No long wait time - and staff is super friendly and upbeat. Doesn't feel like 'going to the dentist' vibe
Downtown Dental is great. I’ve been regularly for a few years, and I’ve never had a bad experience. The cleanings are thorough and I really trust the advice I get. I’m so glad I found this dentist.
I am so beyond glad that I chose Downtown Dental for my care after a negative experience at another office in my neighborhood. And looking at their COPIOUS 5 star reviews, I think it should be clear to you, dear reader, that I’m not alone in this belief. My friend recommended them, and I booked my appointment very easily online. After submitting my medical history (of which there was a LOT, as I’m going through brain cancer treatment), the doctors, hygienists, and staff were extremely communicative over phone, email, and text to make sure all was set up for me. I was greeted by the friendliest staff, pristine offices, and LOADS of advanced imagery technology to make sure I was getting the top level of care I deserve. They even emailed it to me before I left the office! Everyone - and I mean EVERYONE - was kind, took their time, and extremely gentle in all ways. I didn’t feel rushed, all of my questions were answered and THEN some, and they even gave me a nice goodie bag and zipper pouch for my dental needs between now and my next visit. My last office PALES in comparison. I simply cannot sing enough praises for this office! I would have NO issue coming back or sending anybody here. No matter which dentist you’d like to book, you have a winner on your hands. Thank you a million times over, Downtown Dental!
I cannot recommend Dr. Shah and the entire team highly enough. From my very first appointment, I felt welcomed, cared for, and completely confident that I was in the best hands. The level of professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care exceeded all of my expectations. Every step of my treatment was explained clearly, and all of my questions were answered with patience and kindness. Thank you so much!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Sagar Shah and Dr. Lauren Mosses. They are two of the most compassionate, attentive, caring, patient, and kind professionals I have ever met. From the moment you walk through the door, they make you feel comfortable, valued, and genuinely cared for. What stands out most is how much they truly love making people happy. They take the time to listen, answer questions thoroughly, and ensure that every patient feels at ease throughout their visit. Their dedication to providing exceptional care is evident in everything they do. Over the years, I have grown to deeply respect and appreciate both Dr. Shah and Dr. Mosses. They have earned my complete trust, and I would confidently follow their recommendations and opinions without hesitation. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine concern for their patients set them apart. If you are looking for dentists who combine outstanding clinical skill with heartfelt compassion, I highly recommend Dr. Sagar Shah and Dr. Lauren Mosses. They are truly amazing, and I am grateful to be under their care. Elizabeth Vizcaino
I am so happy that I found Dr. Shah. He is truly the best. He made me feel very comfortable, answered all of my questions, and completely put my mind at ease. Dr. Shah and his entire team are outstanding. Everyone is pleasant, extremely knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well cared for. I look forward to my future dental visits for years to come. I highly recommend Dr. Shah to anyone looking for an exceptional dentist and a wonderful dental experience. 10 out of 10 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The team at Downtown Dental is great! The environment is clean, well organized and I’ve never waited long to be seen. Yanelda the hygienist is awesome and extremely thorough, she provides the best cleanings I’ve had in my adult life. I see Dr. Moses and she is kind, engaging, compassionate and an experienced meticulous provider. Really couldn’t recommend this practice enough!
