Boerum Hill dental on State Street
Smyleee Rating
Excellent
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.

General dentistry at Downtown Dental covers routine exams, cleanings, fillings, and decay prevention — the everyday care that keeps a Boerum Hill smile healthy.
Professional dental cleanings remove the plaque and tartar that brushing misses, protecting the gums and helping the dentist catch early decay.
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 clears infection from inside a tooth, relieving pain and saving a natural tooth that would otherwise be lost.
Emergency dental care addresses urgent problems such as a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or a lost filling, with prompt attention to relieve pain.

I never thought I'd ever say this but I LOVE going to my dentist! The environment here is warm, welcoming, clean and cozy. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and Dr Shah and Dr Moses are the absolute best!!! Super responsive and experienced. If I could give them a 10 out of 5 I would. My children are never afraid to go because everyone makes them feel so comfortable. Highly recommended for the whole family!!
Dr. Moses is spectacular! She’s informative, relatable, and has such a calming bedside manner. You can tell she genuinely cares. The dental experience itself is top tier, and the whole team is kind and super helpful. They make coming in feel easy and enjoyable. Truly a 10/10 experience!
Downtown Dental is consistently a great experience. Dr. Moses is very knowledgeable, down to earth and incredibly kind. The office is always clean and well-maintained, and the staff is pleasant, professional, and welcoming from start to finish. I’m always seen on time for my appointments and in and out very quickly. Highly recommend!
Love Dr Shah and his team. I just had a crown put in by Dr Shah and very pleased with the experience and result. He is the best. Very knowledgeable and highly skilled. Precise. Does work with care and communicates well. So does his team. The dental hygienist is great. Well run practice. My husband and daughters, our whole family goes there since he opened. We also noticed that they use up to date technology and equipment in this office.
I have had wonderful experiences with Dr. Moses and her entire team. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed warm, friendly, and highly professional. The office itself is clean, organized, and runs very efficiently with minimal waiting time. Dr. Moses is an exceptional dentist. She took time to thoroughly explain everything, answered all of my questions, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my visit. Her attention to detail and calm, patient manner truly put me at ease. It’s clear she values her patients and their long-term dental health, not just quick fixes. I also want to highlight how kind and accommodating her staff is. From check-in to check-out, they were attentive, pleasant, and made the whole experience stress-free. I highly recommend Dr. Moses to anyone looking for a compassionate, skilled dentist in a welcoming environment. You can really tell she loves what she does, and it shows in the care she provides.
